Holidays works great in the high heat and will transport you to a tropical destination with its upscale suntan lotion vibe. I’m a male and in my opinion, after using it for over two weeks this scent is totally unisex and not overly sweet as others have said, but to each his own.
Mancera’s quality shines through with its 8-10 hours performance on my skin, but spray places further away from the nose like below the neck because it is strong and packs a punch. I love to layer this with other complimenting scents such as Bvlgari’s Acqua Amara, Guerlain’s Eau de Boise or even Creed’s Virgin Island Water which morphs it into an even more delicious complex scent. I’m sure there are many summer citrus based fragrances in your collection that you could blend this with so why not give it a try : )?

Holidays is a very nice tropical perfume.
This perfume is a lovely beachy quality combined w coconut/tiare (monoi), ylang-ylang (quite noticeable) and aquatic notes.
When I first got this fragrance, I liked, but there was something that seemed off putting. After letting it “rest” and acclimatize, this perfume went from hedging on dislike to definite LOVE.
It is perfect for summer, as performance is very nice in hot hot heat.

I have to echo what others have said, this leans feminine and not unisex. It’s a very pleasant coconut and floral scent, with touches of aquatics, citrus and vanilla. It’s quite sweet, not cloying but would appeal to the younger crowd. This is the smell of sun screen lotion through and through, giving it a beach vibe.

Holidays is a floral feminine aromatic. I get a heavily sweetened tiare flower, jasmine, and coconut cream as the primary attributes here. The jasmine is clearly distinguishable, although it isn’t listed anywhere. The orientation here is strongly feminine, and the fragrance projects quite strongly for a few hours.
The sea notes, vanilla, and sandalwood seem to makeup the background. They add a light bit of texture, character, and abrasiveness to the primary aroma. The aroma is very remincient of Hollywood Royale by Juicy Couture, which Holidays could easily be considered a contemporary of.
The fragrance is a bit simple, but for its qualities does one thing well; project a strong sense of femininity. It’s not especially bad in any way, but if anything I think it should have been a more complex (or at least unique) version of its contemporary coming from a “higher-end” house such as Mancera.
It should have also been presented explicitly for women as well, as this is definitely not for men in the slightest.

I got a sample of this from a forum member and I have to echo what miggs80 said. It’s totally femme. This was made to smell exactly like a coconut/floral women’s sun lotion. And it does smell exactly like that. I can’t see many men wanting to wear this.
Does it have appeal? Sure, some. But it’s very specifically a beachy, lotiony scent for women. If that’s what you’re looking for, look no further. This is the epitome of that type of air.

A new love having recently discovered Mancera via their Travel Kit. As a devoted floral fanatic, I credit Mancera with the monumental task of converting me to vanilla in perfumery, a note I’ve hitherto been repulsed by. But really, Mancera do vanilla in a way I’ve never smelt it done before, not overwhelming or cloying in the slightest and blended so beautifully. This and Black Vanilla are both utterly delectable, indescribably delicious scents.
Holidays is fairly linear to my nose, it opens with a very creamy, tropical, coconut note and is soon joined by a lush garden full of exotic flowers and it stays that way throughout. It has depth though, depth and body, a thickness that’s almost oily (in a good way) and means it lingers in my skin unlike some other perfumes in this genre (I’m looking at you Bronze Goddess).
Yes it’s simplistic in its composition, yes it’s youthful and optimistic, but at the same time it has a universal appeal that I can’t imagine anyone finding unattractive.
An absolute contender for best summer fragrance in my collection – and I have well over a hundred perfumes.
Well done Mancera.

This is 100% feminine and made for young teenage girls and under. It’s absurd that this is labeled as unisex. Mancera Holidays gives off the same youthful extremely girly vibe as the Justin Bieber perfume I bought for my 9 year old daughter. If you’re wanting to buy a fragrance for a young girl this is perfect. If you’re over 18 or buying for a male you should look elsewhere. Not even the most metrosexual guy could pull this completely feminine fragrance off.

After testing this fragrance. This has a coconut bomb notes to it. First initial spray reminds me of that women expensive lotion. Really great scent. I do detect the sea notes at the background as it dries down its still linger their and a touch of vanilla. Great fragrance from mancera. Though it can be feminine at the beginning but as it settle down it becomes magnificent. Love this juice. Great for early spring like cool early spring breezy type.
Will update soon after full wearing.

Its very long lasting fragrance. The coconut stays forever on my skin and its like oil that never goes away even if I get it wet with water. Its very strong for 3 hours but not overpowering. Projection is really good in this one. One spray can get you noticed. 2 sprays is enough for a whole day. staying power longevity 12 hours or more.

I received six samples of the newsiest scents from Mancera in a drawing from Beverly HIlls Perfumery. This is the first one I am trying out after some convincing from another member.
I have only had it on for a few hours so I will have to come back and update later.
The opening is BIG on Tiare and Coconut for sure. It does remind me a lot of coconut scented sunscreen from my childhood. Pretty creamy and smooth! I am getting a fair amount of vanilla but it is not overly sweet. Right not it does remind me a little of Intense Tiare from Montale. I do not recall getting any bergamot in the opening at all.
Smooth Creamy Coconut. A little floral and sweet. Great unisex beach scent.
More to come later after another wearing
