Amber Crush

Some perfumes shout. Amber Crush isn't one of them. It just quietly refuses to leave.

The first few minutes are saffron and ginger: warm, a little spicy, the kind of opening you catch on the back of your own hand. Then it softens. Rose and amber move in, and underneath everything sits vanilla and musk, the part still on your scarf the next morning.

Our Creation of Mancera's Instant Crush. We didn't copy it. We took the idea people fell for and rebuilt it to live in the Gulf: an eau de parfum at 25 to 30% oil, made to hold up through the heat, the car, the office AC and a long day.

We make it here in the UAE with oils from France and Switzerland. Have it as a 50ml or 100ml spray, or a 10ml roll-on oil if you'd rather skip the alcohol.

Wear it in the evening. It suits company.

What does Instant Crush smell like?

Warm and sweet, built around amber and vanilla, with saffron and a little spice up top and rose in the middle. Amber Crush follows that same direction in our own blend.

How long will it last?

It's a full eau de parfum at 25 to 30% concentration, made for strong performance. How long it lasts depends on your skin, the weather and how much you apply, and it holds longer on clothing than on skin.

Is Amber Crush for men or women?

Either. The saffron keeps it warm, the vanilla keeps it smooth, and it settles a little differently on everyone. Most people just wear what they like.

How should I apply it?

One spray on each pulse point: neck and chest, inner wrists, shoulders, and behind the ears. Fragrance holds better on moisturised skin, so just after a shower works well.
