Mancera

Roses Vanille EDP

2011

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, evening, 9-10 hours with strong projection.

The take

What works

  • Rose-vanilla combination is crowd-pleasing and genuinely excellent
  • Excellent longevity for a floral
  • Great compliment-getter across genders

Trade-offs

  • Skews feminine despite unisex billing
  • Not adventurous enough for serious niche collectors
