How far Instant Crush spreads
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Emir Super Crush.
Instant Crush price and value
The usual price in Europe is about €143. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Emir Super Crush but less than Roja Dove Roja Amber Aoud Parfum.
For work or for evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Who will like it
The strongest accord is warm spicy (100%), followed by woody and vanilla. You will probably like it if you enjoy warm spicy and woody smells and notes like amberwood and Madagascar vanilla. Less obvious notes include Sicilian mandarin, Egyptian jasmine and sandalwood. Perfume fans rate it 4.28 out of 5.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Mancera Red Tobacco lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like Madagascar vanilla and white musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
