Fragrance sample rebottled by independent bottler Tiny Fragrances from the genuine product, entirely independent of the original manufacturer. Somewhere waaaay underneath the nose hair-singing burnt chemical was the faintest trace of rose, kind of. I thought I’d give a sample a try since I LOVE vanilla, but it’s definitely on the back-burner here.

It has this powderiness that burns my throat as time goes by, I had experienced this before with Lancôme’s La Nuit Trésor that used to be my signature scent.

This is very unfortunate and I can only use it to quickly spritz my knees before meetings with my closest friends. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third party advertisers. Mancera Roses Vanille Eau de Parfum will remind you of the sweet taste of Turkish delight, also known as lokum.

I have never smelled anything like it and I usually stay away from rose, but the rose here is far enough in the background that I don’t notice it too much. My husband, who rarely notices my perfume, always says how good I smell when I wear this (or any of its similar iterations), that I smell edible. Sure, it’s tenacious, but so is Passion by Buble, which was for me a similar disappointment in this genre. Such a paradox - in my opinion, Mansera is more noble and richer than Montale, despite these two brands being twin brothers. Overall this is lovely, and would be a great scent for Valentine's Day or anytime through the winter or spring - but it's too soft IMO and not memorable enough for my taste.

Roses Vanille eau de parfum includes floral infusions of lemon of calabre, morning dew, rose loukoum, cedar wood, vanilla sugar and white musk to create a fragrance that is fresh and sweet. After three days, I took it out, and the scent was just like I had sprayed it a couple of hours ago!

I'm looking forward to experiencing this scent's performance over the coming Spring and Summer months! The performance doesn't even come close to the beast that everyone described it as (but maybe I am just going nose blind?The lasting power is good, and actually the longest out of the three, but I don't get monstrous sillage or anything. This starts out with a burst of rose oil - not the greenery of the roses, but the fragrant, sweet center of the flower. Now that I've had my sample for a year I think it's definetly developed, it's a lot more sweeter and the vanilla definitely stands out a bit more compared to rose gourmand. But smelling it last night on my hand gave me the idea to scent some unscented body butter with several drops of Tanasuk.
