Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Noir EDP
Divisive yet captivating, Black Noir is Mancera's attempt at a softer leather-vanilla for the masses. Some will adore its smooth, sweet embrace; others will find it messy and lacking the darker notes promised by its name.

Our Verdict - Himeros EDT
This perfume is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, with extreme reactions of adoration or outright revulsion. Its potent, challenging profile means you either get it or you don't. Definitely not a blind buy.
