“A bouquet of deep red roses placed on a warm vanilla-dusted surface.”
Mancera's 2011 launch — often compared to Montale Intense Cafe as the leaner, more rose-forward alternative. A rose-vanilla feminine with Italian lemon at the top, Turkish rose in the heart, and a vanilla-white musk-cedar base. Performs strongest in fall and winter, leans evening, with strong projection.
