Roses Vanille by Mancera

It’s my first Mancera and already my favourite. Ideal for fresh or cold days, though it’s not overwhelming at night in exceptional cases. It’s a Felicia: pink rose with liquor, lemon and vanilla. I love it, it’s unique and exquisite. I bought it blind and will buy it again every time it runs out.

Long-lasting, different and special. My most unique and distinct fragrance.

Very feminine and elegant. A sharp opening from the roses and lime. In its evolution, there’s a soft rose, a little sweet (not cloying at all) and very pleasant.

This is ‘the market in recent years’. A safe bet, an easy and rich scent with few additives. Although the brand designed it as feminine, it’s totally unisex. In my experience, it’s the perfume from the brand I’ve liked the most.

For me, it’s a totally unisex scent with good performance, although a bit heavy for very hot days. It smells rich, like burnt vanilla with a touch of oud at the end. Good longevity and sillage. Only for those who love the sweet stuff; although no one says it, Rich Warm Addictive by Zara is its clone.

Spraying it on, it instantly brought back memories of that old Mario Badescu rose spray.

A pity I didn’t like it, despite trying it at different times seeking more potency. The rose is very synthetic and tiresome; this house’s fixatives give off a plastic, artificial scent that I simply can’t stand. The main rose fails to deliver properly. It has beastly longevity but leaves a heavy trail. It reminds me of a dried flower room spray. It is sweet, linear, and one-dimensional, with many copies on the market. It gave me a headache, so I gifted it and asked the recipient not to wear it when I was around.

There is no point with this perfume; I gave it several chances and it is not for me. It reminds me of dried flowers for arrangements, which makes me hate it. I don’t sense the vanilla or a juicy rose, which is a shame as it has tremendous projection and lasts hours (10 hours). You can tell it has high-quality construction, but I just can’t handle it.

I haven’t liked it much. I love Turkish rose, but this perfume seemed like a known scent to me, even reminiscent of the typical rose with oud found in Arab perfumes, although that note isn’t marked, it has a hint that reminded me of it. It is potent, undoubtedly.

Are you interested? Go to Zara, try Rose Gourmand, watch out, let it dry, and if the sweet reminiscence catches you (as it did for me), jump without a parachute if your budget allows. Pierre Montale is very French here: seductive fragrances that shout sexuality. But today, in ‘what elegance France has’, we have someone kind, sweet, tender, unforgettable, and addictive. Want to get someone in a mood? Smell like Roses Vanille. Imagine someone you know in a strange place, like a dentist’s waiting room or a bank queue; that person has been with you for 10 minutes and has branded themselves on your soul forever. You will become a textbook stalker on social media searching for that person. Roses Vanille seems like another sweet rose fragrance, yes… But as minutes pass, it acquires something special. You have to wait 30 minutes to understand the comparison: remember those aromatic cards that were collected, the ‘rarities’ in blue or pink tones with bucolic drawings of children, animals, and flower baskets? I never knew anyone with those; they were like a shooting star; from time to time someone had 1 or 2 and you were capable of giving them 5 of yours in exchange. Roses Vanille smells like that card, pure droga. You pass your nose over it again and again, hooked, it is what you desire with this creation. I see it as a signature fragrance for the opposite of what I read above: super suitable, creative. If you are a classic lady or gentleman and wear it, it will be fine pastry for a lifelong cream, do not do it, it emits something too unique for someone discreet. I feel it is a beautiful, mocking irony towards classism; it is for wearing with a torn grunge jumper, not with a Chanel-style two-piece. Possible signature fragrance? Yes, I am very grunge, compose, and sing in the band ‘Feral Orphans’, some songs already smelled like Roses Vanille before I knew it. If you are going to give it a turn, buy it blind, it does not matter if the rose doesn’t drive you crazy, as in my case. It is the smell of sweet and dusty vanilla from those cards. If you are going to be repellent, hyper-polished, I would say skip it and look for something more seductive like Francesca Bianchi fragrances, because there is nothing worse than being redundant. Scent 9/10, Longevity 10/10, Sillage 7/10, Value/Quality 6/10, Packaging 5/10. Would I buy again? 120 ml, when I run out we will see if I haven’t got bored, for now I would say yes.

Super delicious! On my skin, it smells like a rose bathed in honeyed vanilla. It’s sweet, elegant, and sophisticated. The longevity is extreme 💐🍯✨

I love, love, love it ❤️. On me, the vanilla and roses come through. What a beauty, very similar to Gentle Fluidity Gold by Francis Kurkdjian but much more long-lasting. I adored it.

How is it possible that I can like a perfume with roses as the protagonist? I’m blown away. I usually struggle with that note, but I really like this one! 😱 It smells sweet, aldehydic, creamy and very vanilla, but on me the rose predominates. They are aldehydic roses, freshly cut with heaps of sugar. After a few hours, it settles into a vanilla with melted sugar. For me, it borders on gourmand; I imagine a custard cream with rose petals sprinkled on top, or even Turkish delights. It’s feminine, playful and very sensual. Great longevity with a high trail. I also tried some dupe alternatives and they were quite good, although the longevity and intensity are slightly lesser. I wouldn’t buy Roses Vanille as it makes me feel a bit nauseous (roses do that to me) and it doesn’t captivate me enough, but it’s a charming perfume.

Mancera perfumes are divine to me, but this one is femininity and sensuality in their purest form. I’ve had similar perfumes before and I’ve always loved the combination of roses and vanilla, but this Mancera is exceptional. You can really smell the rose with the vanilla and the sugar… a true delight. The trail and projection are very wide; with just a few sprays you have enough to take on governments. Even after washing my clothes, I can still detect the scent.

It has become one of my favourites. I resisted owning it because it became popular among reviewers and there was a sense that you had to have it. In the end, I gave in to all the reviews and bought it, and it has fallen in love with me. It’s an incredible scent, sweet rose, clean, new doll… incredible. I have the original and some dupes. If you like perfumes that smell of sweet, clean roses, you can’t be without this wonder. When I don’t know what fragrance to use, I reach for Roses Vanilla… it’s a sure bet. I also sometimes layer it with Intense Café… and I get an olfactive bomb!!🤩🤩🤩
