Which Should You Buy?
Mancera's Deep Forest is notoriously divisive. Many find the opening challenging, with some labelling it 'pret-a-port-a-potty' or cleaning products. But for those who persevere, an enchanting, complex floral-woody drydown awaits, celebrated for its unique character and monstrous performance, blurring gender lines.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions between 'masterpiece' and 'old-fashioned mess'. You'll either adore its complex, classic charm or find it too dated; there's no middle ground here.
