This is Mancera's unapologetic stab at the 'dark vanilla' trend, serving up a potent blend that some call the best of its kind. It's a divisive one, though - fans adore its deep, grown-up sweetness, while detractors find it synthetic, heavy on the oud, or simply nothing new.

A budget interpretation of Mancera's Xplicit Vanilla. The mouthwatering vanilla-and-dark-chocolate opening over creamy woods is the draw, and this dupe captures that rich gourmand warmth - arguably to its benefit, dialling back the heavy-handed oud that some find cloying in the original.
