Silver Blue
Silver Blue by Mancera is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, absinthe and cardamom, moves into toffee, patchouli, cinnamon and labdanum and dries down to oakmoss, amber, white musk and sandalwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Absinthe Bitter wormwood and anise. Green, boozy and slightly wicked.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Toffee Buttery burnt sugar. Denser and chewier than caramel.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
