Mancera
Rugged, imposing, and central to military history both ancient and modern, the Hindu Kush mountain range in Central Asia is a formidable sight indeed. It's a border not merely between Pakistan and Afghanistan, but between heaven and earth itself. To honor this wild location, Mancera presents a uniquely resinous scent, rich with spice and incense, perfect for the adventurous spirit in all of us.
Hindu Kush opens with a sweet and complex layer of exotic spice, with prominent notes of saffron and clove reinforced with the energy of black pepper and the earthy resinousness of another famed export of the region. A cannabis essential oil harvested from authentic Afghan grown plants. Oud, patchouli and woods dominate the heart, but their heaviest and darkest tones are played down, keeping the robust spiciness at the center of the composition.
A vanilla and musk base works along the same concept, reinforcing the resins and spices without drowning them in overly rich or earthy tones and presenting Hindu Kush as that rarest of oriental fragrances one with more subtlety than opulence. And as a result, it's hard to think of a human being alive that wouldn't smell unbelievable wearing it.

Love the smell. It’s strong feminine vibes for me. Doesn’t last long, but I am a smoker.
This is everything I could want in an incense scent. Not too overwhelming or strong. Just a soft, powdery "I just burned some resin incense in a large room" smell.
Very mature musk scent. Not mature like old lady mature.
I do not like it, reminds me of my moms Jontue perfume from the 80's. Too strong of musk, unpleasant.
Really enjoy the scent.. not for all occasions
this was not for me. i was hoping for sexy, cannabis forward and unisex. instead it gave me a headache and kinda reminded me of my grandpa. it’s got great projection and longevity, which is great if you end up liking it!
First scent I've bought after trying here. Long lasting, evokes emotion and feels a bit mysterious. Not for everyone, but it's my current fave.
Ok this is THE SCENT I was hoping to find. It might not be for everyone. I was looking for something dark, mysterious, seductive and earthy. This is it. Kinda has a hippy vibe to it but sexy at the same time. Oh, and it lasts forever. I can still smell it on me the morning after a night wearing it.
At first, it has a strange strong smell but then it softens and smells very nice. It smells earthy.
I love it. It has muskier notes. But smells very classic.
Love this scent. Reminds me of incense and has a clean patchouli aroma. Lasts a long time & have gotten many compliments on this one!
Not a fan at all. Smells like incense heavy. Not a soothing smell for all day
Hardly smells of cannabis and smells heavily of eastern incense. Dry down is worse than the initial spray
A new favorite!!! Very similar to the smell of incense. Very dark. Smells like a night out. It's described as winter which works I guess but it's kind of fall and winter.
Smells so good and I keep getting compliments on it! Def one of my new favorites!
For a man it’s PERFECT. I little masculine for me, although I love unisex scents that lean a LITTLE masculine. But it’s beside, complex, enveloping, comforting. I love it and will give to my boyfriend (or sneak it for myself if I feel like it)! Prob wouldn’t wear myself to a social gathering just because is a bit too masculine for me. But get it if you’re a man, or as a present for your man!!! Gorgeous.
it smells so so good and you don’t need much to smell for long! the smell is fresh and a little spicy with a warm inviting undertone
It's has a musky, earthly smell, it took me a while to get used to but I really like the scent.
Love this
Very strong the scent is overpowering even if you only spray it once will not be wearing this frangrance.
Smells like an old man.
Smells good not quite the exotic scent I was hoping for
Not for me.
I love it. Its different, unique and a big compliment hitter.
Not my favorite.
Really nice aftershave like this a lot lasts all day a little goes a long way enjoyed this would definitely buy in the future
Smells like very string incense. Intense.
Best. Scent. Ever. This smells nothing like weed, as some reviewers are writing, because that skunk smell is disgusting and this spray is divine. This scent is sexy and rich. I can’t stop smelling myself!!! I’ve been a Scentbox subscriber for a couple of years, and this is my favorite delivery!
Spicy. Strong. I chose this based on the name and description. It was not for me and I can't even tell you why. I didn't hate it but had zero desire to smell it or reapply it ever, so I sent it to my mother in law. She says she loves it.
favorite scent ever
I’m confused by the comments saying it smells like weed. IMO in smells like sweet chemicals? Maybe I’m sniffing too hard but the smell is a little nauseating. Giving it 3 stars bc I’m sure it’s someone’s thing. Just not mine. Very potent, can notice it after hours of wear.
This scent got my boss to ask me "have you been smoking?" at work. While this is not something I would wear by itself, I can say if layered with a sweeter scent (that I also wouldn't wear alone) it becomes the bottom thicker layer of a nice balanced accord.
This smells like a man's fragrance and like someone was burning incense( but not an appealing smell).
Not sure about this one. It reminds me of something, I can't quite place.... fabric softener sheets! That's it but not in a good way.
This is undoubtedly the worst stinky perfume I've ever smelled. And it lasts for-ev-er. I would give 0 stars if I could.
Starts a little sweet, but mellows. Very woody and spicy. A bit more masculine than feminine.
Smells good, but not long lasting.
I chose this based entirely on the scent profiles, without even looking at the name--and so I was quite surprised when I first sprayed it and realized....yeah, it definitely smells like marijuana a little. I had a friend describe it as such, "it smells like a stoner who constantly tries to cover it up by spraying expensive cologne." Despite the clear reference to the devil's lettuce, I've not had anyone complain about it. I've only received compliments up to this point--and I am wearing it at work. So, either corporate America has really relaxed its stance on ganja, or this cologne isn't offensive at all.
I really love this one. It’s very inscence-y and sensual. And it really lasts - the first day I wore it, I got a compliment from a stranger who walked past me and stopped to tell me they loved my perfume. It had been eight hours since I put it on.
Pleasant earthy and spicy scent. Can be a bit overpowering so a little bit goes a long way.
Initially more metro, but after several sprays becomes very masculine. Wonderful scent for my man.
Stellar! Strong scent... lasts , good silage, its now in my top 10 of personal choices amongst my collection.
I really like this! And it lasts forever!
Too musky for me
This was too spicy for my taste. I thought it would dry down and mellow out, but it did not. I think, if you like a big scent that’s bold and spicy and you want to hang out in a ski lodge drinking cognac or something, you’ll probably love this. If you’re shy with your fragrances, skip this one.
It is extremely unusual which I like. Earthy and dark.
This is hands down my favorite scent I’ve gotten so far. It’s got this powerful incense smell. It’s woody and spicy. Masculine but just enough playful femininity to it that I don’t feel weird about wearing it as a woman. It lasts for hours as well, and I have received multiple compliments. This is a great scent for a romantic night in. It’s deep and full of mystery.
I was surprisingly pleased with this fragrance. Spicy and warm.
Yuck! It smells weird and “old” to me. Very strong. Not at all feminine. I think this one will be an exchange.
Hindu Kush is my new favorite fragrance because of the unique smell. It’s sultry scent lingers and wraps me in a warm hug. I grew up in the hippy generation and appreciate the harmony of musky hues reminiscent of incense.
Yum. I loved this scent from the moment I first put it on. I love the musky, vanilla notes. It's very mysterious - and I want a full bottle of it!
Too strong and it just plain stinks. I couldn't get the smell out of my nose.
I would describe this perfume as SPICY. One spray goes a long way and two for me was far too much. Mellows out after a while but very potent upon first spritz. On the more mature side. Not ideal for spring or summer, in my opinion. Nice for fall, lovely for winter. Makes you feel warm.
Very spicy smell on me, a little bit goes a long way. Nice smell for fall evening wear or a boots and jeans day
It’s nice, the opening is spicy but the dry down is a bit mature for me. I like to layer it with other fragrances.
Amazing spicy, smokey, slightly sweet. I get a sweet clove throughout and a beautiful incense fragrance. It leans slightly masculine but I love that in the fall and winter.
Not our most favorite. My husband is a rugged outdoorsy man so I saw it had notes of incense and woods and I was excited— this cologne literally smells like warm incense. Very strong- kinda gave me a headache. The notes are nice, if you do it- one spray is literally enough for all day!
Marking 4 stars because once you spray it, you’re not sure how you feel about it. but after it settles, the scent is great.
Very strong! Vanilla explosion. Does not smell like weed. Vanilla extract all the way
Fire!!!!!!
Nice musk scent.
absolutely love this scent. i prefer unisex, musk scents and this one smells so good.
My absolute favorite scent I have recieved. Long lasting earthy and rich fragrance
Sorry to say I hated it. Very harsh. First one I sent back.
Love it
Starts out fresh , herbal and green. Mellows into a complex spicy dry down. I personally love Mancera, they have great projection and Sillage. You can't beat the longevity, especially if you wear it in your hair.
I love love the smell it's very strong and lasts at least 4 hours that's how long I have been wearing and as the smells has faded it's still a good smell
I love this so much and so does my hubby. It lingers all day long.
Loved this. Woodsy, a little spicy and masculine. Doesnt smell like weed at all but it's a great scent I'm glad I picked it.
Too strong
First spray this stuff is STRONG! It smells very masculine at first but dries down to a musky, almost powdery, spicy incense that is more unisex if not feminine leaning. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it either? I wouldn’t purchase a full size bottle. It does project nicely and lasts all day.
This is my favorite scent since the original Opium. I love exotic fragrances that you don’t smell on everybody. This is a unique and unforgettable scent. Tried to buy here at Scentbox but was unable so found it elsewhere.
I love this!! It's spicy and warm but sweet. Not too feminine. It lasts a long time on me too.
This is wonderful!! Reminds me of an older scent but just a bit different. Absolutely love it ??
This is a very interesting scent. The performance is wild. 2 sprays I was able to leave trails and fill up an entire house and itll easily be smellable on fabrics for well over 24 hours. It's like a warm, spicy, incense-y kind of fragrance that is just intoxicating. Recommend a try.
I really enjoy this perfume. It smells like spices and is very unique to me.
This one is very strong to me. I'm trying to get used to the smell because I really like it, it's just overwhelming. My husband wore it one day and I liked it on him after several hours. He said he liked the smell also but he said it was a lot.
Smelt too generic too me.
smelks great blend if insence musk spice. long lasting. and ive gottrn a lot of compliments when wearing it.
Love the aroma but it fades in about 30 minutes.
Good smell. Very earthy. Took some time to get to like it. But pretty good overall
Spicy and a little green. It's a very nice and unique scent.
Very strong and very spicy. Just not for me
Tried this one for my husband, and he likes it! It is reminiscent of incense with earthier, almost spicy notes. It lasts a long time too.
I’m not one for floral or sweet scents, I like musky and typically more “masculine”. This has some power to it, it is intense. First spray is mildly overwhelming, it mellows but not a ton. It has a very incense like quality and is heady. It lasts the whole day I’m at work and I still smell it faintly through the evening. It’s not something I would wear all the time as it doesn’t seem to mix well with any other scent, even a deodorant or hairspray feels like competition.
