Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Armaf publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Mancera Cedrat Boisé is sicilian citron, bergamot and blackcurrant at first, patchouli and white woods at its heart and musk, vanilla and amber at the end. Armaf set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
