Can Intense Cedrat Boise De-Throne Its Older Brother?

Designer fragrances are designed to be appealing to the masses and, while all of them are unique and good in their own right, they can be affordable to buy (depending on where you look) and mostly easy to like. This is not the case with niche fragrances. The pure definition of niche is “denoting products, services, or interests that appeal to a small, specialized section of the population.”. They are fragrances that are crafted by companies who are primarily creating only fragrances as opposed to designer houses who create fragrances as just another facet of their brand.

Cedrat (meaning “the citron tree”) Boise (meaning “wooded”) by Mancera was released in 20...
