Out of mancera perfumes that I tried – including vanille aoud, choco velvet, cedrat boise, red tobacco this one I like the most. To me it smells just so seductive and pleasant, playful and classy at the same time. I am not sure what you are used to but the longevity is great on this one. Been 10 hours, still smell it on my wrist, although by now its a skin scent.

One of my favourite chypre oriental niche frags! I hope to buy another before 2018 is over!
ramus – :
The Mancera fragrance that demonstrated the obvious Mancera DNA that’s shared across so many of their fragrances. Not sure I like the vulgarity of this one, reminds me of a hospital compound, it has a bullish medicinal quality lacking in Aoud Sand Roses.
Please admins, if you’re going to publish your site in English, then just follow some basic grammatical rules….if the word or adjective starts with a vowel, use “an” instead of “a”. At the very least it will give your description above some credibility, no one wants to read “a Oriental….”

For a plush, leathery, jammy unisex rose, it doesn’t get much better than this.
tolya4 – :
First impression: It has a very harsh opening, and in heart notes I can’t detect any fragrance on my hand. It was very close to my skin and I was pretty disappointed with this then in base notes it starts blooms and I would say it’s very beautiful in base notes very creamy sandalwood and musky Base notes. The best base notes in my collection is of myrrhe imperial(one of my favourites) and then this one has best dry down I smell. Very elegant and luxurious.
Longevity is good I can smell it projects close to my body for around 4-5 hours and after that it becomes skins scent. The projection is not very beastly it remains in you body circle which I believe is good thing
Spensiofekise – :
This is beautiful…What I imagine an opulent palace on the outskirts of Istanbul would smell like. The opening is a little pungent and medicinal, but I still kind of like it. Once that fades, it is a woodsy rose with some patchouli and leather thrown in. It’s really well blended and smooth.
It lasts a really long time and you will feel enveloped by this scent after just two sprays. Words like ‘sophisticated’ and ‘luxurious’ come to mind when I think of Black Line. Love this stuff.

This is very close to Amouage’s Journey Man/ Woman with worse performance (Amouage is a beast). If you are into florals try it.
Agigiptubpats – :
Black line by Mancera is fantastic! I will admit though it takes a person that’s going to give it a chance for it you to fall in love with it. The opening is not killer for me, a bit sharp. I still really do like it though. The beauty comes in the mid/dry down. It starts with a rose/patchouli combo with oud in the background. Not a very feminine rose, but an airy rose that just floats beautifully around you as you wear it.
I will say my FAVORITE part is the drydown. It’s such a development from the opening which makes me appreciate the complexity even more. Love this stuff!
Longevity is all day/all night, you don’t have to worry about it going away. It will last and it will project
dimax – :
I usually hate most rose fragrances, but I really like this scent. I don’t notice a huge difference between the initial smell and the drydown, unlike a lot of other people. I enjoy it equally at the start and an hour or more later.
I like this much more than Amouage Lyric Man or some of the rose-heavy Maison Francis Kurkdjian oud perfumes. Those may be more complex, subtle scents, but I don’t care – this smells way better to me.
The rose in this is not a heavy, suffocating rose like in so many other rose forward scents. You can smell this yet still breathe properly. I’m talking about aesthetics, not allergies.
And I don’t feel that it is a predominantly feminine scent. Most other rose scents that are labelled either unisex or for men end up being too feminine for my nose (eg Amouage Lyric Man). This one is just fine for men, I feel.
leksev068 – :
Not bad. I do not like the opening too loud… but after a couple of minutes it calms when the amber and the rose begin to look. Beautiful and sophisticated in the drydown, with the white moss very prominent. It’s familiar this scent, I think I try it again in the winter.
Sillage: 8.5/10
Longevity: 9/10
Scent: 8./10
Overall: 8./10
Anaeneini – :
Rich scent, starts a medicinal syrup, then evolves into a sensual performance with pacthouli knocking on the door and receiving roses with open arms, and then the leather bravely becomes the main host, taking that dark moment of perfume.
I value this:
Smell: 9/10
Projection: 9/10
Longevity: 9.5/10

Nice scent thats about it, pretty straight forward that works. What i get is a medicinal opening (as most with all montales and manceras frags) this stays for awhile then it settles down. I dont know about the spicy notes on top as i dont get this at all ?? Leather is what i get with medicinal backround. When frag settles down i do sense the middle notes everything is there, but its not over powering each other; they are all blended well together.
Base is woody with a hint of musc. Over all a good scent and very safe if you can get pass the opening which i do. I dont find this unisex it leans towards more on the masculine side as its dark scent. scent break down; medicinal leather; leathery rosey; woody musky. It is worth a try.
Performance is solid by the way mod to heavy projection with atleast 8hrs of staying power.
pompylhv397intitytek – :
Great creation. A soft patchouli-Rose combo with a slight soapy touch that make it very easy to wear.
If you like the Patchouli-Rose combo but you find that most of them are a little heavies and more associated to cold weather, this is a great and versatile choice.
Great performance indeed.
Punkk – :
Love the house Montale/Mancera… I own 12 in total from the range this one is not for me sorry it lacks character.
Mafia300 – :
i don’t get the love for this. Perhaps my nose is not sophisticated enough. To me it smells like a mid 40’s Avon Lady whose at your house pitching products to your mom. I don’t see how a man can wear this, and I wear some very unisex stuff. I guess i just don’t get it. I LOVE Cedrat Bose, and Sand Aoud. I had high hopes for this, but never have i been so shockingly disappointed.
Jui4an – :
A dry austere rose blooming on the edge of a baking hot desert. Crunchy notes like grains of sand (leather, spices, guaiac wood) contrast with sweet rose, sandalwood and Amber.
The overall effect is dry, not sweet or jammy. It makes me think of a super-heated wind blowing off the desert and encountering floral gardens full of roses.
This is suitable for both genders, especially lovers of rose and woods.
The person who compared this to Black Aoud needs to smell more perfumes before making arbitrary comparison. Just because these two both contain rose doesn’t mean they have any relationship with each other (apart from the fact that Montale and Mancera are sister-brands within the same umbrella company). Comparing this fragrance to Black Aoud is like saying a Bugatti is like a Ferrari, simply because they both have a steering wheel.
abosolaev – :
Before I go any further, I would just like to state that I am by no means a fan of rose in General, with a few odd exceptions and this is definitly one of them!
Upon first spray you are indeed hit with a big blast of sweet rose. My least favourite part and I do wish it was toned down a bit, but this quickly dissipates and the leather and patchouli begin to overshadow it fairly quickly. Animalic? Maybe a slight touch but certainly nothing aggressive or over the top. In the dry down the amber, white musk and sandalwood oddly enough give this an almost fresh appeal. I would say this is similar to Indonesian Oud but without the bergamot and strong oud note. One of the best I’ve tried from Mancera, a fairly forgettable house IMHO.
BART639 – :
I think I may be starting to prefer this to Black Aoud. The patchouli-guaiac-rose is really smooth, sexy, and masculine. The fragrance achieves balance much quicker than Black Aoud, which seems to see-saw between the equally loud rose-aoud notes.
I would not be surprised if this was intended as a superior successor to Black Aoud. I really think a case could be made for it.

Love and addictive at first sniff !!!!! My Holy Grail cologne !
М.И.Х.А. – :
Went to Selfridges to try this today.
I originally went in to buy Ateliers – Oud Saphir but ended up trying Black Line while waiting for my Saphir to be customised.
I have to say that it is up there in terms of the quality I look for.
I will be adding this to my private collection very soon.
8.5/10

this review is about black to black.. didnt find it on fragrantica data base.. and i wanted to rview it.. for its one of the best mancers has to offer when it comes to oud connotation’s
its a lovelly oud.. a true oud.. an oud that reminds me of real pure oud.. that cost 1000 $ per 12 ml tolas..real indian oud ..rarelly found from local producers ..
this perfume is deep ..inscensy.. oriental.. indian.. it has an opulencey.. it has a magical side.. that keeps developing and changing with time.. and on different people..
its a full mysterious perfume.. fit for a king or a queen..
it reminds me of some of the special blends from abdulsaamd algourashy and junaid and ajmal.. its more arabian in essense and personality.. yet with a lighter crispier more attuned to the non oud users.. its a perfect softer oud.. that is inoffensive..compared to the real oud..its almost sweet.. its woods y.. amber y.. a bit musky..alot inscensy almost resinous.. with a hint of rose.. that brighten every.. oud composition ..hints of patchulie and warm spicesness ..balsamic relaxing intoxicating.. ..invigorating..a winter.. night ..perfume.. fit for special occasions.. or just to fall asleep in ..a vail of holly smokiness ..of incensy ..dreamy.. whiffs of bliss…its almost lemony in the top notes.. its almost translucent.. its simply something to be treasured.. it is(oud ) an acquired smell.. oud is not the easiest of smells to fall in love with.. if you ve never smelled it befor..but this is as nice.. and as clean ..and as pefect.. as oud can get ..and as sophisticated.. and refined.. and simply wondrous.. an oud has ever been made.. for mass production ..it has the vibe of old school local perfumers who just blend natural raw materials.. and give you 6 ml half a tola ..or 12 ml of a whole tola.. or even quarter a tola of this heavenly bliss.. elixir of life ..less than a drop from the needle like debar will last weeks on your clothes and hair ..even if you wash it..a perfect layering perfume ..a perfect perfume used with bakhour and incense..a dream perfume from the past that bridged the future..

Leather, rose and patchouli. A mixture overwhelming. Pungent and sensual, delicate and charming. One of the best creations of Mancera.

First of all this is EDP. So, the “long lasting” was expected. I have to admit, that for those guys, who pay much attention for the longevity, this one is the Champion, for sure; you can smell it within 12 hours without quality decreasing – the same smell as at the beginning. What it was surprising – I spayed on my wrist, it’s clear I washed my hands, but I could feel amber and pachouli, spicy notes may be – almost 24 hours after first spray, of course it was not the same how it should smell, nonetheless…
This EDP is masculine for sure, however they say Unisex.
I do not want to describe the notes, they all “sound” good, playing Solo time to time. Great orchestra! You won’t be disappointed and, the most probably, will fall in love with this masterpiece.
Don’t be afraid – this is not heavy frag, it’s not overwhelming, not over-spicy, not over-patchouly, not over-amber. Black Line is very elegant scent, perfectly blended, suitable for the day (office) and for the night (theatre), definitely for cool weather/time. If you wear with casual it would be also great, brutal, sexy.
It reminds me Aoud Shafran from Montale (it was one company in the past before divorce), but more soft, greater number of notes, more stable and long lasting. Projection is great, exactly how it should be with man’s frag.
In short – beautiful masculine EDP. The bottle is perfectly crafted, if it’s important for someone…
I think, it can be Signature frag. It’s really Niche perfume.
