Our take
What does Instant Crush smell like?
Launched in 2019 by the Parisian house Mancera, Instant Crush follows the generous, powerful style the brand is known for. The opening pairs leathery saffron, zingy ginger, bergamot and mandarin for a spiced, bright start. In the heart, rose and jasmine blend with amberwood and patchouli that give it body. The base is a warm caress: creamy sandalwood, oakmoss, musk and vanilla leave an ambery, gently sweet and very long-lasting trail. The whole feels comforting and seductive, designed to be noticed without aggression. On fabric, the amber and vanilla linger well into the next day, long after the saffron has faded.
When to wear it
Wear it for evenings or a date, with a single spray. It suits those who love soft yet powerful ambers.
It belongs to the Oriental / Amber, Woody family. Instant Crush is one of 2 creations by Mancera in our encyclopedia.
