Just love the opening and mid notes. It’s crazy how I get subtle woody and leathery notes from it apart from the dominating lemony and fruity notes. Smells really really nice to me at least.
@@ChadSecrets definitely! 💯 The only area it lacks a bit in is its performance. Also, it’s great how you are active and engage with the comments. I hope you keep growing 💯 All the best!
The first time I smelled this, it gave me headaches, I really though I wasted my money. But then I tried it again a week later and I was surprised of how good it is. On my skin at least the smoky aspect is very prominent. Thanks Chad.
I was not blown away with this one at first. This new batch didn't smell good until a month later to me but now i really like it! Thank you for watching!
Great review. Definitely agree, nothing like Aventus. I have both, & I’d personally reach for Creed before this. For me, I get a 🍋 dominant scent. I picture me snacking on a piece of lemon cake, or pastry.
Not gonna lie i hated it the first time i tried it. Was about to give it away until a friend said let it sit for a few weeks and retry it. Well only twi weeks later i used it again and man that stuff is awesome. This is worth the price.Every penny
I was really disappointed when I first tried my new bottle of cedrat Boise. Anyhow, I stored it with my other citrus perfumes as I brought out the Winter fragrances. As Spring is approaching I recently wore CB as my scent of the day. Well, what a difference in performance! Defo a keeper now it has decent longevity. Defo let your bottle macerate.
I used to think the whole maturation argument was totally bogus. Having owned a bottle of Cedrat Boise for a year I’m blown away with how much this has changed. It is so rich now that I can’t wear it is in heat. It’s a completely different fragrance. Absolutely fantastic and one for life for me.
I just got it today and i love the opening, its sooo good but being the first fragrance that i have with leather it might take me some time to get used to as it seems a little to strong.
That's understandable. I feel like the leather in this is well balanced, so you will get used to it quickly. Im not the biggest leather fan myself, but i did not get bothered by it here 😁
I'm a middle aged woman and I LOVE this fragrance! It has become my daily wear! I get tons of compliments from men AND women! I'm a sucker for citrusy masculine leaning scents and this fits the bill perfectly! (P.S. I just ordered a second bottle with the new magnetic cap so I'm hoping the formula is the same )
That is awesome to hear. Doesn't matter who wears it, its a confidence booster for sure. I bet it works perfectly for you. There are some female marketed fragrances i enjoy to wear that just smell amazing
Hey man I just have to say this is one of the most well done reviews I have ever watched for a single fragrance. The editing, points brought up, and thoroughness were next level. I’ve watched hundreds at this point and would put this one in the top 3. You sir, have just earned yourself a subscriber
When it comes to performance I think it has a lot to do with the better atomiser. With the crappy old bottles you got coughed on a small area, and when you smell there of course it's stronger because there's a ton of oil on a single spot. And it lasts because it cannot evaporate. With the pressurized atomiser you get a very even spread on a larger area with the same amount of oil. While it may seem that on the skin it's weaker, it can project in the air this way much better. You know, where it's supposed to be .
I’ve owned this for 2 years. Bought it because of what I’ve heard on line. Didn’t really dig it. Wasn’t really that strong or memorable. I tried it last week for the hell of it. I really like this scent. It’s pretty good. Haven’t stopped wearing it. It gets compliments. Maybe it macerated. I don’t know lol
After trying the Cedrat Boise and Aventus back to back, I can say that Cedrat Boise is no clone of the Aventus because it is more imposing than the Aventus. The one I received was also a magnetic cap.
@@ChadSecretsso I tested the entire sample now and it’s def a buy. Really smooth citrus basket like opening and dries down into this light leather/suede with some woods, sweetness and a touch moss like greenery. Now I’m debating if I need to buy Eros energy or if I should pass on it. Sorta redundant but it’s so much more heavy bright citrus with less supporting notes which makes it more summer casual where Cedrat Boise is more spring and can dress up a some. Decisions 😂
I've been binge watching your videos and I can say they're made so great, it's very formal yet still fun engaging. The editting is nice, a short shots of the ingredients to the actual thing is so good. The pronunciation is on point! Keep working hard, you earned a sub I'll be watching more of your video! And I'm planning to get my first niche as a student, gonna earn for it this is on my radar as well as with Mancera Instant Crush. Thanks for the review!
i find this one very similar to Terre D'Hermes edt! im only choosing one of them so im at crossroads now. TDH seem to have weak longevity on my skin tho
After the first half hour to 45 minutes it does smell creed aventus , but, softter and with a little twist. Take quite a while to go through the dry down projections. But worth its price for sure.
@@ChadSecrets I just sprayed it on my forearm almost 2 hours ago and at least to me it starts out a softer aventus. It's starting to shift through it's dry downs now so I'll wait and see what it morphs into. But definitely a high quality frag for sure.
same here lol, been hesitant as well to buy Instant Crush, just because of what people say . do you have Instant Crush? and if you do would you say the reformulation rumors are true?
Nah dont belive that reformulation rumor. Its just new bottle style and they are producing the fragrances quicker so they need a little time to "macerate" Its a bit feminine leaning if you are okay with that
@@ChadSecrets you have same taste as mine on fragrances. Thats why i started following your content. Great videos…keep going. Can you do a full review on Lemale Elixir pls??
Im working on that review for sure 👌 And i dont personally think it would be best for that weather outside it could be a bit much. Something like versace man eau fraiche would be great!
If a fragrance tends to induce anosmia does that negatively impact how you score the fragrance? I wear fragrances because I enjoy smelling good - but with Boise I stop smelling it not long after application.
I've watched all the reviewers with similar taste as mine on this but never really ( I NEED THIS) fragrance... That being said ,last night I got a discount code for $65. I picked one up from JS for a dumb reach as I didn't need a beast mode and preferred fresh over intence for my preference.. And the price was good !!!
I finally found good decant of Cedrat Boise after previously got low performance ones. I like the freshness and uplifting scents. I also bought decant of the CB Intense, but I think I got bad decant since it gave low performance. Or maybe got nose blind. Which one do you prefer, CB or CB Intense?
sweet black currant , undertoned lemon and cedar present but thats it high class granpa smell in a way, its good but not great aventus way better. also nothing like aventus at all at all
This one is fresher and more seasonally versatile. The intense is darker with heavier oud and leather. I haven't sat with it long enough to notice any other differences in terms of performance yet, though
Hey, how long ago did you buy it? And did you buy from FragranceBuy as you said, or from PerfumeOnline as in the screenshot picture you've shown? I'm asking because I just bought one from PerfumeOnline and the last review mentions screwcap top, so I was hoping for that. Thanks in advance
@@ChadSecrets yeah I figured but considering that someone left a review in 2023 mentioning they got an older version, I'll keep hoping for now haha. Cheers man
Hey Chad, keep up the good work man, i never comment on anything for any reason but your channel is really good, straight to the point, nice humour, well edited and honest. Have you ever tried dior homme sport 2021?, i have several niche and designer fragrances and for me that one is a 10/10 and one of my most complimented fragrances by women, a review on that one might be good. keep it up brother, love to see the channel grow💪🏻
Hey, thank you for your support. That means a lot to me! I try my best to improve where i can! I have tried that fragrance and really like it. I plan to get a bottle soon for that warmer weather. I will make a review of it soon!
Fantastic video, but I don't believe that "maceration" is a real phenomenon with fragrances. The 2022 magnetic-cap batch that I have definitely performs worse. It's pretty bad, actually. That being said, I actually think it's a better-blended fragrance. So there are some pros and some cons with this one, IMO.
Well, that's fine. You dont have to believe in it, but i have experienced this many times with my fragrances. Including with this one 🤷♂️ My batch personally is anything but bad and has actually gotten stronger and darker in color since this review. That being said, it could be a quality control issue with this one. Thanks for watching!
@ChadSecrets The fragrance itself is really nice, and again, it seems to be better-blended than the older batches. It's just the performance that I'd describe as below-average and certainly worse than in previous batches. But, I'm always open to having my mind changed, and I don't plan on selling the bottle. We'll see if it gets better with age.
I got two crew cap bottles of the Red Tobacco, but I don't know if they are early or late versions of the screw caps, as I assume there are different batches made before they changed to the magnetic cap. I have heard rumours the 2019 bottles had gotten toned down a little, and the magnetic caps came sometimes in 2020. Sometimes a reformulation can be good and sometimes bad and even really bad, making them unrecognisable -- in which they should NOT call it by the same name !
Completely agree. My red tobacco still very potent. I may do a video comparing them in future just to make sure. Sometimes fragrances are left unrecognizable by reformulation left smelling like a cheap rack store clone of the original. It's unfortunate
I brought Red tobacco 3-4months ago and received one with screw cap. It was not that strong for first few days. I left in the shelf few weeks and got it macerated. Oh man…it is nuclear now 🔥
@@firozjebbar3516 interesting ! Maybe Mancera sometimes still uses the screw cap when filling up new bottled juices ? Also great advice about the macerating, as I have heard about this process before.
Do you buy full bottles all the time or do you get samples? Shipping costs from US sites on samples just kills me. Trying to find a Canadian decanter for cedrat Boise has been tough.
Check Colognedecanted. He is a fellow content creator that decants out of canada. Myself i usually just buy the full bottles blindly, which i would not recommend
There's a nasty note to it that turns me off. And I still couldn't understand what people find in common between Cedrat and Aventus, completely different scents
Definitely, they are different. It's in the style of aventus but you are right. And not all scents are for everyone. I understand if you don't like it 😁
I agree, I get it too. In my case I feel it dries my throat, I swear to God. Although I l'm spraying this, it feels like I'm drinking it, can't reality explain it. Every single time I, spray this I get something quite synthetic that I find annoying, but I ignore it for the first 30 min and then I get to enjoy it.
I just bought it the day before yesterday and there is something that makes me feel sick toy stomach in it and whatever the note is that smells off, it's also in 724 by MFK
This gave me polo green vibes ngl wonderful opening but I did not enjoy the drydown very ashtray like I’m gonna let it macerate for a week or two and decide if I want to return it. (Costco 90 day return policy babyyyyy)
@@ChadSecrets hey chad ik its only been a day but my bottle of cedrat boise has already lost that prominent smokiness and I get a lot more vanilla out of it to me it smells like polo green’s spiciness mixed with jpg le male elixirs’s honey tobacco note I can’t really differentiate notes that much but the smell still definitely has that mature vibe to it but now has this playfulness of a young man. One spray on my left wrist in the morning at 9am i was able to smell the sweet woodiness throughout the day and its 6pm as of right now still going strong. I’m exited to see what its like after next week.
I just bought my cedrat boise,2023 batch it's only been 2 days since I used it, projection and longevity is above average 4-5hours only do you think i want to sit it for a couple months to perform?
@ravengalang490 In my experience, the juice color will get darker, and performance will improve. Let it sit a bit, but just enjoy it and feel it improve over time!
I got my mancera yesterday, december 21 batch I tested some testers from 23 It lasts like 5,6 hours on my hand, and even 12h later I can smell it When i spray it on my shirt, i feel it projecting for 4 hours
I have the intense version of it and I have an question about it. There’s a bunch of sediment stuff in it and I know that may be normal with it being a parfum, but is it normal that it all settles down at the bottom of the fragrance?
hey so im looking into trying it, and might buy a sample. or would you say its a safe blind buy and just buy a bottle (theres a few online that arent too expensive)
Id say its a pretty safe blind buy since its mass appealing. Its strong though for a freshie so start light. Id suggest looking for a screw cap option first
23i244k/i (2023 September) version is totally crap performer, like some clone for example lattafa fakher. become a skin scent really fast. it was ok if it was date scent like LNDL. your version is 2023 April.
It’s pronounced Cedrat Boy Zee. I bought a full bottle last year. Loved it for a month until it started making me nauseous. It would be great if not for the heavy handed leather. The dry down becomes way too leathery.
@@ChadSecrets it’s a problem that goes back to my childhood. I associate leather with being car sick in my dad’s car from the smell of the leather seats.
@@ChadSecrets Hey chad, my cedrat also have some numbers on box. and Below the perfume bottle. So I can be calm that it is original? smells also lasts about 6-7 hours with my hand but its geeting weaker after 3-4 h
Do not buy!!! One of the biggest disappointments I have experienced. If I had to describe the contents of the bottle in one word, I would choose the word: nothing!! And this is nothing very expensive...
Spray that LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE to make me pronounce CEDRAT BOISE correctly!
Just love the opening and mid notes. It’s crazy how I get subtle woody and leathery notes from it apart from the dominating lemony and fruity notes. Smells really really nice to me at least.
It is a very good fragrance and smells expensive. The price is also very good!
@@ChadSecrets definitely! 💯

Exact same for me, that smoky muskiness keeps me sniffing and sniffing myself!
The smoky aspect is what keeps me wearing it…if this wasn’t smoky it would be too feminine for me personally.
Great review. Definitely agree, nothing like Aventus. I have both, & I’d personally reach for Creed before this. For me, I get a 🍋 dominant scent. I picture me snacking on a piece of lemon cake, or pastry.
Over time, mine has changed to less lemon smell. It gets richer smelling
Not gonna lie i hated it the first time i tried it. Was about to give it away until a friend said let it sit for a few weeks and retry it. Well only twi weeks later i used it again and man that stuff is awesome.
This is worth the price.Every penny
Is that true I bought one and it has a really harsh opening like rubbing alcohol. I'm not sure I got a fake but it's like that.
Just got mine yesterday and I wasn’t crazy about it either in the beginning . A few hrs later I smelled it on my skin and I changed my mind.
@@amazingworld9574Every fragrance smells like alcohol at least for the first 30 seconds or so... why? Because it's literally made with alcohol.
Very true. It smelled like cigagretts at first. Spray 10 times then lit it sit for two weeks.
Its much better afterwards.
most underrated fragrance youtuber, straight into the point and honest reviews, keep up the grind
I appreciate that a lot. Thank you 🙏
My bottle of club de unit intense found the floor so used the opportunity to get myself an upgrade to citrate Boise hahaha great review!

100% this. It's crazy how mine even shifted in scent profile after i came back to it after a while
Received mine yesterday an I tell you this scent is awesome, definitely getting a back up bottle
I love this stuff. I'm tearing through the bottle
What can you say about the performance? Do you think it's kinda weak?
@vanhelsing1143 imo definitely not weak. It only got stronger over time. I will let others weigh in though 😁
@@ChadSecrets what batch do you have? I think the newer batches are the only one availble here in the philippines
@@vanhelsing1143 he shows the batch code in the video. I just got my bottle 3 days ago and it's the same batch.

Your production quality is superb
Thank you! I try my best 😁
When it comes to performance I think it has a lot to do with the better atomiser. With the crappy old bottles you got coughed on a small area, and when you smell there of course it's stronger because there's a ton of oil on a single spot. And it lasts because it cannot evaporate.
With the pressurized atomiser you get a very even spread on a larger area with the same amount of oil. While it may seem that on the skin it's weaker, it can project in the air this way much better. You know, where it's supposed to be .
Thats a very good observation. You might be right about that
Been wanting to pull the trigger on this for a while. I live in Florida so I think this, over the intense would fit well.
Thats a very good choice. I have worn this in Miami and it was great
I’ve owned this for 2 years. Bought it because of what I’ve heard on line. Didn’t really dig it. Wasn’t really that strong or memorable. I tried it last week for the hell of it. I really like this scent. It’s pretty good. Haven’t stopped wearing it. It gets compliments. Maybe it macerated. I don’t know lol
It's actually weird because i wasn't impressed at first with my bottle, but as it sat around and got stronger, it also got better
@@ChadSecrets same here 💯
If you’re looking to try another Mancera I would highly recommend Aoud Lemon Mint. It is a SUPERIOR fragrance!
I really look forward to finally trying this one out. Looks like something I would really like !
Also give Sicily and Amber fever a try! Amber fever to me is manceras BEST gourmand. This stuff is so smooth and boozy and creamy!
After trying the Cedrat Boise and Aventus back to back, I can say that Cedrat Boise is no clone of the Aventus because it is more imposing than the Aventus. The one I received was also a magnetic cap.
I definitely prefer this to Aventus
What year?
Got the same batch. Fruity opening with slight smooth citrus. Drydown is mostly woods and vanilla. $80 on Jomashop
That's a pretty great price! You liking it?
Love it.
100% video true!! Cedrat boise is masterpiece!!!
It is amazing!
I am not the biggest fan of this fragrance but there is indeed quality to it. Enjoyed the video though.

If a fragrance tends to induce anosmia does that negatively impact how you score the fragrance? I wear fragrances because I enjoy smelling good - but with Boise I stop smelling it not long after application.
I dont let it affect the score because i usually expect it from stronger scents. Ill just test other ways
if i am to buy cedrat boise and wait a month or 2, does the projection and longevity improve with the scent profile?
Yes it does 👌
I've watched all the reviewers with similar taste as mine on this but never really ( I NEED THIS) fragrance... That being said ,last night I got a discount code for $65.

That price is VERY good. For that kind of quality i would say a steal
2 weeks of maceration would be enough for reformulated one or a month?
It doesn't really need to macerate at all. It will just continually get stronger and richer. 2 weeks should be enough, though!

sweet black currant , undertoned lemon and cedar present but thats it high class granpa smell in a way, its good but not great aventus way better. also nothing like aventus at all at all
To each their own. I would take this over a modern aventus batch anyday

Sometimes a reformulation can be good and sometimes bad and even really bad, making them unrecognisable -- in which they should NOT call it by the same name !
Completely agree. My red tobacco still very potent. I may do a video comparing them in future just to make sure. Sometimes fragrances are left unrecognizable by reformulation left smelling like a cheap rack store clone of the original. It's unfortunate
I brought Red tobacco 3-4months ago and received one with screw cap. It was not that strong for first few days. I left in the shelf few weeks and got it macerated. Oh man…it is nuclear now 🔥
@@firozjebbar3516 interesting ! Maybe Mancera sometimes still uses the screw cap when filling up new bottled juices ? Also great advice about the macerating, as I have heard about this process before.
Do you buy full bottles all the time or do you get samples? Shipping costs from US sites on samples just kills me. Trying to find a Canadian decanter for cedrat Boise has been tough.
Check Colognedecanted. He is a fellow content creator that decants out of canada. Myself i usually just buy the full bottles blindly, which i would not recommend
Great recommendation thanks! Any more tips you have are appreciated
There's a nasty note to it that turns me off. And I still couldn't understand what people find in common between Cedrat and Aventus, completely different scents
Definitely, they are different. It's in the style of aventus but you are right. And not all scents are for everyone. I understand if you don't like it 😁
I agree, I get it too. In my case I feel it dries my throat, I swear to God. Although I l'm spraying this, it feels like I'm drinking it, can't reality explain it. Every single time I, spray this I get something quite synthetic that I find annoying, but I ignore it for the first 30 min and then I get to enjoy it.
I really like this scent, sadly there is some note that choke me the first minutes. So I rubbed after spray on my arms.
I just bought it the day before yesterday and there is something that makes me feel sick toy stomach in it and whatever the note is that smells off, it's also in 724 by MFK
Got a sample of Cedrat and It smells like Club De Nuit to me, I agree tho, there’s something about it that turns me off initially
This gave me polo green vibes ngl wonderful opening but I did not enjoy the drydown very ashtray like I’m gonna let it macerate for a week or two and decide if I want to return it. (Costco 90 day return policy babyyyyy)
Costco has amazing return policy. Let me know if it grows on you as it did for me!
@@ChadSecrets hey chad ik its only been a day but my bottle of cedrat boise has already lost that prominent smokiness and I get a lot more vanilla out of it to me it smells like polo green’s spiciness mixed with jpg le male elixirs’s honey tobacco note I can’t really differentiate notes that much but the smell still definitely has that mature vibe to it but now has this playfulness of a young man. One spray on my left wrist in the morning at 9am i was able to smell the sweet woodiness throughout the day and its 6pm as of right now still going strong. I’m exited to see what its like after next week.
And that's the interesting thing about fragrances. Everyone will perceive them differently. That sounds like pretty good longevity to me!
Nice videooo,can you make a video on azzaro the most wanted edp ?
I can definetly do it! Thanks for the suggestion
How many days did you rest your cedrat boise
A couple months
I just bought my cedrat boise,2023 batch it's only been 2 days since I used it, projection and longevity is above average 4-5hours only do you think i want to sit it for a couple months to perform?
@ravengalang490 In my experience, the juice color will get darker, and performance will improve. Let it sit a bit, but just enjoy it and feel it improve over time!
Thankyou i will do🤘its very hot on our country i think its 47c🥵
What would you say your favorite Mancera frag overall is?
I really need ti think about that. Its possibly this one!
I got my mancera yesterday, december 21 batch
I tested some testers from 23
It lasts like 5,6 hours on my hand, and even 12h later I can smell it
When i spray it on my shirt, i feel it projecting for 4 hours
Its a very good fragrance i like it a lot
this one or cedrat boise intense?
This one for year-round versatility
@@ChadSecretswhat about the intense version?
@@suiiiiiiiiii4780 What about it
@@ChadSecretsYou answered my question in the video i commented before watching that part thank you
Is it good for teenagers, you said it was for 25+
It's not very youthful tbh. Its more grown and masculine smelling. If you like the sound of it though dont listen to me. Wear what you like!
Any similar fragrances that are a bit more youthful?@@ChadSecrets
Intense is better😄
Best as versatile? 🤔
Thoughts on 2022 batch?
I gave you my thoughts on my 2022 batch 😅
@@ChadSecretsthe bottle on the vid is 2022? Wow thanks!
I have the 2022 batch... u too? Hows the perfomance?
@@rooksreview very good especially when it already macerated
I have the intense version of it and I have an question about it. There’s a bunch of sediment stuff in it and I know that may be normal with it being a parfum, but is it normal that it all settles down at the bottom of the fragrance?
I can not speak for the intense. But I know fragrances that have high concentrations that is possible at the bottom!
@@ChadSecrets yeah I think it may be normal, thank you for replying!!
Is it safe for blind buy?
Nothing is unfortunately
Bro, can you make a review of Ra'ed Silver by Lattafa, I think it's a clone of something 🤔
I will be releasing a lot of clone reviews this upcoming year. Thanks for the suggestion. i can do that! 👍
@@ChadSecrets Thanks Bro, much appreciated 👍 keep video going 😎
Nice video. Earned a sub
Thank you for subscribing 🙏
My gfs favorite on me. Its one of the few she wont let me get rid of (i love it too though so i dont mind)
I also prefer the screw cap
hey so im looking into trying it, and might buy a sample. or would you say its a safe blind buy and just buy a bottle (theres a few online that arent too expensive)
Id say its a pretty safe blind buy since its mass appealing. Its strong though for a freshie so start light. Id suggest looking for a screw cap option first
If the woody smell was less, it smells like 80% Aventus
I think personally they are quite different but to each their own! Way better price value than aventus for sure
Mine is ungodly smoky
I cant wear it
Really? Does smoke usually pop on your skin or just with this?
@@ChadSecrets just with this. its only after a good 3 hours has gone by and it smells like i sat downwind of a smokey, slightly wet campfire.
This or cdnim le?
Well they are different scent profiles but i think i prefer this one personally
23i244k/i (2023 September) version is totally crap performer, like some clone for example lattafa fakher. become a skin scent really fast. it was ok if it was date scent like LNDL.
your version is 2023 April.
They need a bit of time to mature and they become stronger.
I bought a tester of it.
Smells similar to Boucheron initially.
Really? Ill need to dive more into the Boucherons!
Which Boucheron would that be?, Pease enlighten us
Boucheron eau de toilette pour homme
It’s pronounced Cedrat Boy Zee. I bought a full bottle last year. Loved it for a month until it started making me nauseous. It would be great if not for the heavy handed leather. The dry down becomes way too leathery.
It all comes down to the person wearing it, i guess. I found it very nice! I still have yet to find a scent that makes me nauseous, though
@@ChadSecrets it’s a problem that goes back to my childhood. I associate leather with being car sick in my dad’s car from the smell of the leather seats.
So Saydrah buozey
Please answer 🙏🏼
Sorry, answer what
@@ChadSecrets Hey chad, my cedrat also have some numbers on box. and
Below the perfume bottle.
So I can be calm that it is original? smells also lasts about 6-7 hours with my hand but its geeting weaker after 3-4 h
Also the smell can be felt on the clothes for several days

This is so overrated imo. I don't really like it. I've worn it maybe 10 times, I'll let it chill for another 6 months and come back to it.
I personally really like this one. But its not for everyone
I just dont get this smell.. i find it very overated
@@tlo03 thats okay!
White musk😭😭😭😭
Lol 🤣
How can a woman wear this?
Anyone can wear what they want. Nobody is stopping them 😁
hahahaha that white musk
Haha 😂
Do not buy!!! One of the biggest disappointments I have experienced. If I had to describe the contents of the bottle in one word, I would choose the word: nothing!! And this is nothing very expensive...
You buy a fake or something?
Smells like an ashtray. I really don’t know what yall are smoking.
Naw it doesnt lol
Bro got jokes put Elon Musk for white Musk😂😂
Haha, i slipped it in there 😅
😊
😁
don’t buy new batches shit
I have a newer batch. And can say that newer batches are fine
How long did you macerate this when you said “let it sit for a bit”? Just curious.. 🤔🤌
I noticed it got stronger after a month or so. Could be less but thats how long i let mine sit
