The projection, sillage, and longevity is incredible. Sprayed it on a shirt I wear at home. Put the shirt on 2 days later and it still smelled like Instant Crush. You hit it on the head.. an "addictive" scent.
I just got mine a few days ago and its a ‘21 release. Straight powerhouse! 2 sprays and I still caught a whiff of it the next morning headed to the gym.
I LOVE Instant Crush, I find I don't go anosmic to it like I do BR. It lasts forever on clothes, it keeps wafting around the air. On the skin I find it lasts for 16+ hours, perfectly unisex, incredibly strong and projecting yet somewhat transparent, I don't find it assaults nostrils.
Without question or doubt this fragrance has garnered me the most attention and compliments out of all my fragrances. The ladies absolutely love the smell of this one me.
I enjoy watching someone who knows everything about the ingredients and knows what goes into making a fragrance to understand the craft and workmanship/ or lack there of..
Interestingly, Instant Crush is one of my most complimented and asked about frags. One of my clients went and ordered 5 (smaller) bottles to give as gifts to a group of of his friends. I guess some people REALLY like it. I don't blame them a bit cuz I love this stuff too. Thanks for another great review Aaron.
@@RedditStoriesBook All the Mancera frags are great if you like the Peter Montale style but my most complimented right now is MFK Gentle Fluidity Silver but that's just lately.
I just started my fragrance journey Last month. So many videos about fragrance i watched and now i am so glad i discovered Aaron' content. Imma buy 1 of his products and im eyeing out on Hard candy. Hope it will be available in department stores here in the Philippines someday :D
Received mine a couple of days ago and been wearing it daily since! Non stop compliments😍 the notes of instant crush just smells soo expensive and gives me so much confidence😃
Im not sure as i have not own any of the older ones but even after 6 hours people can still smell me, i guess if it is a weaker batch just add some extra sprays
I didn’t care for this when it came out but I revisited it a year or so later and it just registered differently. It’s something that puts a pep in my step and feel an in or two taller whenever I wear it! Massive projection and longevity! Excellent video! Cheers!!
Such a compliment-getter! I've had a woman chase me off the train to find out what I was wearing and then return to the platform to grab the next train lol
Instant crush literally crushes in the compliment department! It’s potent, powerful, and long lasting keeps pushing! Similar to Br540 but goes in a different route
How far into it after spraying does it stop comparing to BR540? I avoided it because I already got BR540 as well as it’s dupe Amber Oud Rogue and have zero space nor interest for another familiar smelling scent profile. If it’s just in the opening then that’s fine but if others are gonna be smelling BR540 throughout it’s wear, then it’s a waste for me personally
@@blankmandastankman personally I never smelled amber rouge I have heard the hype about it but this one I’d say is more of a jasmine & saffron bomb but the dry down is different than br540 in the dry down of instant crush you get like a vanilla saffron & jasmine floral scent, my batch pushes 16+hrs prob can go for more but I scrub it off lol
I have a small collection of Mancera; I just blind-bought Instant Crush, and am more excited to receive it, now that ATH has given a positive review - thank you!
Late to the party I know, but had to purchase a bottle based upon your video. My only purchase of Mancera was Cedrat Boise, and it was between Instant Crush or Red Tobacco for bottle no.2. The opening immediately reminds you of BR540; however, once it settles into a deep vanilla scent it’s so addictive to take in. Can understand those who say it’s more unisex than BR540 - I’d agree. Looks like I have my new set up for Spring - Cedrat Boise for the day, Instant Crush for the nites out.
Same here, got it as surprise tester and was instant love so ordered a bottle and then came here for the honest review. Aaron is always on the money and so impartial.
i stumbled across your channel and the way you do your reviews is not only exceptional and entertaining but also competent in the way you describe the things you know. keep it up
This brand just gives u one of the most beautiful presentations, beautiful bottles, magnetic caps, beautiful pouches to put your Mancera fragrances into, just a brand that actually offers you something for your money...and for that these are priced accordingly, just narrowly outside of Designer realm, but still nowhere as pricey as other Niche houses like Creed or Xerjoff, or even Parfums de Marly - even though their presentation can stand proudly next to those.
Funny, thought Aaron would find it too sweet. Pleasant surprises all around then. Wonder what you'd think of Mancera's French Riviera. Don't think it would be up your alley but it's kinda their take on a Mediterranean fragrance. And I'm sure you could tell loads of interesting things about that whole style.
Such a clear and cogent review! I always watch your review first for any fragrance I'm researching, if available. Love all your reviews, past and present. Thank you for your technical knowledge and your succinctness.
This stuff has insane projection and sillage. Hands down the loudest screaming fragrance I own. You’re right Aaron you go nose blind to it quickly but you can’t forget you’re wearing it because you’ll be asked what you’re wearing constantly by people. Idk all this the first time I wore it I oversprayed and filled an entire building 😂😆
Hi Aaron, my experience with BR 540 EDP was totally mess… but I purchased Instant Crash from Notino for 73€ and it really worth it but my FAVORITE by Far is the EXTRAIT 540!Great And Honest Review as Always…Nothing But The Best from BRUSSEL
@@danielb.1567 nop it's the real reality check some woman opinion even on the internet and you will see that even dylan blue from versace is better hahahhaja. But noobs like you know only BDC who smells like an aftershave. Buddy you pay the brand not the smell. Please don't give advices to others because you know 0 about fragrances
Baccarat Rouge disappears on me after a few hours, can’t smell it and for spending that kind of money I want better longevity. I do prefer Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait, more complex and good staying power on me. After this review I need to smell this fragrance! Aaron you’re easy on the eyes, makes the reviews more enjoyable lol! 🤷🏼♀️😂
Love this one 😍🔥 Also Aaron, the Mancera and Montale is the same company, beacuse the nose of Montale Pierre, is created the Scents of Mancera. And his daughter is created the brand Mancera
I just ordered this from Amazon yesterday. I've just been getting into this hobby for the last month and a half or so. I got the Argos sample pack, and I really like that, and I tried some Creed and also PDM Greenley the other day at Nordstrom. That's the extent of my niche fragrance house experience so far. I'm leaning toward ordering Bacio Immortale, from Argos. I got the sample pack to decide which full size bottle to get first.
I agree with u, i told my friend , this is not a BR540 replacement, this is not a dupe, this might be in "the family" as you said and Instant Crush stand on its own. I bought boss bastard, Onyx and Daddy from your sale and it has arrived a week ago, i was impressed that it does not smell like anything i have in my collection. I would like to recommend Crush on me by Unique Luxury, i have a gut feeling that you would enjoy wearing the scent. Cheers from Singapore🇸🇬.
“Formless”, interesting word, I think it captures it accurately. Also, your tattoos are the same color as your eye color, it’s pretty cool and I’m not sure if that’s intentional but it’s pretty neat 👍
I'm on my 2nd bottle of Instant Crush. I think it's SO MUCH better than BR540. It has much more depth to it. The projection, silage, and longevity is 2nd to none. BTW, Mancera is the sister company of Montale, with Pierre Montale as the owner and perfumer for both.
It's crazy that mancera still uses those bags talk about tackie. You think someone that works for the company would say something about putting a stop to those by now. Im going to try this out and buy a bottle i was really surprised Aron liked it.
I am obsessed with this. Everyone was wearing it in Mykonos this summer. When I came back to Manchester I’ve purchased it. I work in a makeup counter in Trafford but I’ve sold so many of this cause everyone is asking me what I’m wearing. I perceive it more linear than Baccarat. It’s very BOOM and it stays there but this performs so much better for much less money. Can’t recommend it enough.
Great Stuff Aaron... much support. I tried this fragrance for the first time today. I gotta say I'd love a version in which you add some amber and more naturals, but this fragrance from Mancera just may not do it for me.
Aaron, can you go over a more in depth note breakdown of your fragrances? I'm curious as to your inspiration for a sent profile of a fragrance and Maybe go over technical things like what a clean skin cord is.
Aaron much love from Amsterdam 🌍 Hope you can do a reaction 2 the beautiful Xerjoff casamorati Dolce Amalfi? 💛 Wanna know what you think.. its one of my favorite parfums in summertime
Aaron's reviews are so in depth. .. He is so knowledgeable about fragrances. I like mancera's instant crush but still prefer baccarat rouge 540 .. Both are amazing. . Keep moving your hands.
@@AaronTerenceHughes me too. I'm curious about something. I'm a recording/mixing engineer with synesthesia (visual). I think part of my success is my ability to "see" the stereo soundscape as a picture. I wonder if you cross senses with your nose.
