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 - Metamorphic EDP
A divisive yet distinctive scent that some find intoxicatingly complex and others struggle with its masculine edge. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but if you love it, you'll be treated to a sophisticated, boozy, and smoky experience unlike any other.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
