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 throwback. If you're into those bold, classic power florals of the 70s and 80s, you're in for a treat. But be warned, it's a 'love it or leave it' situation; some find it a bit too much, like a fabric softener explosion.
