Musk of Flowers

I'm a big fan of Mancera fragrances so I jumped on an offer to buy Musk of Flowers at a really deep discount; less expensive than many designers and their fragrances perform extremely well and kick like a mule on my skin. Plus, I have three grown daughters who love borrowing stuff from my Scent Armory when they visit, along with gal pals, so what the heck. I love smelling Musk of Flowers on the ladies. Although it has a somewhat typical sweet, floral, fruity, musky vibe that has been done thousands of times before, MOF has excellent performance while maintaining a smooth, quality allure. It lasts 12+ hours, almost fills a room when first applied, and leaves a nice scent trail for 4-5 hours before becoming a personal scent. I mainly get white floral, musk and a dark rose from this scent that is wrapped in a blanketed of fruity-sweet sugar accords. Loud white floral and/or rose fragrances are often difficult for me to handle, but I liked this one immediately....but ladies, be careful on the trigger because this fragrances performs well and one or two too many sprays can take you from smelling Babe-a-licious to smelling like, "...that annoying perfume lady." For example, one spray (just one) of Vintage Kouros under my t-shirt and I'm being told how great I smell, while three sprays of Vintage Kouros on my exposed skin and people are wishing me dead. One or sprays of Musk of Flowers under the shirt/blouse is plenty. Overally, I really enjoy smelling this one on the ladies and it seems like versatile fragrances...just as long as you go easy on the trigger.

I'm going to just go ahead and leave the least helpful review ever. This smells like my first grade librarian and makes me think of Carole King singing Chicken Soup With Rice! The scent of this was like getting walloped with a cotton baseball bat of a memory! I don't know what ms librarian 1986 was wearing but I have been looking for something that smells like it literally ever since. Here goes more vague unhelpfulness: I smell flowers but I don't know what kind, definitely NOT carnations but with a spicy edge that's like carnations. And then the drydown is a hint of that floral mix perfectly blended with rich musk, clinging to the roof of your mouth feeling, thick and lovely. Sadly this is totally muted on me! Faint and skin-scent and done after a couple of hours. I think that's just me though, lots of scents that are known for big projection and longevity are just not that way for me.

Love it! I blind bought Musk of Flowers after much research and I was even more impressed by it when I got it. It is more of a sophisticated floral with a bright openning rather than a girly fruity floral scent. If you like fragrances such as Gabrielle Essence, Jadore Absolu or Jadore Infinissime then you might like this. It has a bit of a sweet, golden,musky feel to it. It is very versatile and could be a signature scent. I get over 8 hours on my skin and longer on clothes. Projection is about an arm's length. I bought this and Choco Violet together and I find I'm reaching more for Musk of Flowers (although they are very different fragrances). I would rate it 8/10.

The opening is a burst of white floral and citrus, very pleasant, very spring summery feel, then swiftly joined by soft powdery Musc. The dry down reminds of a floral scented bar of soap and of powder rooms in vintage restaurants... there is a hint of metallic that replaces the citrus. The floral quality lingers. The scent lasts very long on my skin but the sillage is so-so. It’s a nice floral skin scent to add to my collection and quite the value for the price (considering the niche quality. Impressed!

This is a pleasant floral. It's light and feminine. If you like the typical bright floral fragrances with a touch of elegance, you will like this one. Not too strong but not weak. You're not going to choke people out, but people will smell it if they hug you or make it their business to sniff you. It's a floral that most people would agree smells good. Simple but has that floral magic that makes it quite nice.

Deliciously bright overture of fruits & florals. Sweet, tart, sparkling. Drydown tames this, becoming uncharacteristically softer (for Mancera), tamping down the fruit song while retaining the lovely florals. A fluffy musk moves into the mid, delicately coating gossamer petals of a ghost rose as she peeks shyly through other heady blossoms & blooms. I like this one.

Musk of Flowers is one of my favorites! I smell citrus, peach and roses straight away... Then a seamless accord of lots of sandalwood, rose, jasmine and musk.. I think this is one Mancera's best blended. You really can't pick out individual notes besides a very smooth rose. Love to wear it.

i put this on my shirt a week ago and i'm still getting waves of it ,,, very very high quality roses and musk ,,, completely Unisex 10/10

This is a very pretty & heavy hitter of a scent! I really enjoy it! I love how mancera's fragrances are unisex, but you do need to be careful some are more masculine & some more feminine! This is definitely more towards the feminine side, but I like this over the roses & chocolate, which has no staying power on my skin. I find it hard to believe its made by mancera, when most of there scents last forever, maybe it's suppose to be one of there skin scents? I also prefer the scent of musk of flowers over the roses chocolate! Which now I'm glad I purchased testers before blind buying the roses chocolate, that's $160 I just saved towards a bottle of musk of flowers :)

A very clean and soft muskscent. Lovely. I can also smell an airy wiff of jasmin, rose and sandalwood - but they are pale. The musk is gorgeous - and a scent perfect for layering. To me a bit unisex -towards female. En Väldigt ren och mjuk muskdoft. Underbar. jag kan oxå fånga upp en lätt luftig mix av jasmin, ros och sandelträ men de är rätt bleak. Musken är ljuvlig och en doft perfekt att ha lager på lager med andra dofter. Lite unisexdoft som drar lite åt det feminina hållet.

Update: the longer this is on the skin, an oud or cedar comes through & makes it masculine :( almost all the mancera's so far have been masculine, except the Roses Vanille, my search continues, I haven't given up yet! There's a few more mancera's I haven't tried yet! I will update again, so at least some of us ladies can enjoy maybe a couple of the mancera's, soo unfair!

The epitome of the smell of flowers in my opinion. Some my think it smells synthetic.. I see why, yet I do not feel the same way. Good silliage. Longevtiy wise I'd spray it before going to work and it would stay on my clothes all day. I can also smell it when I wear the same top couple days later (I spray a rich amount though, think 8 sprays).

Poetic and very feminine. There are all the ingredients for a luxurious perfume for women of great elegance. Bravo Mancera!

A tart and fruity opening that just reminded me of sour candies! Grapefruit, pineapple, orange, lemon, peach... in a patch or bottle of perfume? 10 minutes later the heart notes appears... it becomes kind of powdery-creamy with the jasmine and orange blossom. Not my style, I personally preferred the sweet sourness at the opening. The fruity warm notes are still there, and I’m still not able to pick any rose nor violet, probably very subtle. The musk however is indeed present and enveloping all the notes. The floral and musky dry-down reminds me a little bit to one of the Miss Dior mixed with a scented sunscreen, not what I was hoping for. The creaminess disappears on and off, something I noticed with a few perfumes from this brand. After a few hours I get a beautiful floral musk. Lovely, a “happy scent” for summertime in the style of Mancera. _____ Projection, sillage, longevity : 8/10 Originality, presentation : 6.5/10 Quality, value : 6.5/10 7/10

I'd say that the "flowers" in the name are a huge exaggeration - I can only smell rose. Aside from that, there is musk and a bit of sandalwood, which together smells exactly like rose potpourri. On my skin it did not develop, and I definitely did not smell any citrus notes. For my untrained nose it is just a heavy grandma-ish rose+musk scent, and the fact that I'm trying it in the summer makes it insufferable. Additionally, when I sprayed it on my wrist, it left an oily residue, like a lot of Montales - which is not that strange since they are basically the same company.

I smell...mostly flowers (especially rose), a little bitters from grapefruit, and cedar which is there all throughout. As for fruit, I'm not getting anything maybe in my nose it's blocked out by the rose? It does have a masculine feel. Unfortunately, this one's a stomach churner for me although it's not really terrible.

A loud fruity floral that yells P-E-R-F-U-M-E. It’s that stereotypical scent that someone you know wears too much of — an immense, cloying, wall of “flower." The sheer volume and density of this should win an award, and you’d have to be a real asshole to wear more than a single spray in public. It’s a bowl of syrupy fruits topped with sugar cubes that's met with a blast of every floral air freshener ever created, all over a milky, inflated galaxolide base. It’s like olfactory obesity. To be fair, it’s not awful, but it is generic-loud and quite predictable. I guess the selling point here is that it’s about four times the volume of something from the Macy’s counter. If you remember the scene in Total Recall where Ronny Cox gets sucked out of an airlock and his head distends and then explodes, wearing Musk of Flowers is a bit like that. Exhausting for the wearer and anyone in their vicinity.

Dated grannyish rose, with a submissive secondary floral bouquet, atop a heavily sugared coupe of sweet notes (and from what I can tell—is actually like a sour black musk underneath). It's a really heady, vintage style that I find as hard to enjoy as all heady floral musks out there. There aren't many uses for this one that I can think of. Seems like a blend that was just thrown out there hoping to get by on nuance of being heavily sugared. The underlying mélange is really combative though, and whatever musk was used here was a poor choice. It almost seems like a distributor's technique (seeking to push some less desirable ingredient, by sneaking it into a fragrance, then exploiting the storefront for the stock cash).

Musk of flowers was a blind buy, I purely went off the name favouring that alone... it was nothing like I imagined, Much more mature and zingy than I expected I instantly get a strong pungent whiff of grapefruit and wood notes when I first spritz myself then the jasmine reveals herself and boy does she like to party It settles great on my skin (I find any perfumes with musk do that), and the rose is very delicate but definitely there The scent develops as you go about your day which makes it a perfect day time wear

This was an affordable online blind buy in 2023. I didn’t like the opening at first so I didn’t wear it that much. By spring of 2025 something told me to revisit the fragrance and I am glad that I did. It’s a fresh, light and slightly sweet floral, clean musk scent that really blossoms in spring/summer of the year. I get all day wear (10+ hours) and I would recommend this for anyone who is looking to add an “easy reach” to their fragrance collection.

This is the weakest Mancera I’ve smelled; usually this house is nuclear. It’s very soft and quite musky, with grapefruit. There is a light touch of rose that comes forward in time. I can barely smell anything else. Its very close to the skin, but it is sensual. Someone entered original formula Miss Dior Cherie as similar. I have them side by side, and beyond a couple of notes, I’m not getting what that person was smelling. These are very different.

This is a fruity fresh sweet fragrance. Initial burst of grapefruit and idk if it’s pineapple but it is not just grapefruit. Then it dries down to this powdery sweet fresh scent . I wouldn’t say I smell rose or jasmine particularly. This definitely wearable and fresh .

Rose loukoum, imagine Turkish delight light, grapefruit, base on violet and musk..... It's a radiant scent u can get wave of Indol make it even more sparkling. Amazing scent very optimistic and uplifting all the way radiant. Quality Stunning. Very innovative too x

This is a very nice scent. Musk that feels like clean skin and a gorgeous mix of white flowers and fresh fruity notes. Feminine, smooth, uplifting. Projects very well and it is longlasting. Very good!

I agree it is much alike Miss Dior Cherie 👍🏼💯 More soft, and greipfruit is quite dominant at the beginning. Between those two i choose Mancera.

I love this but it is on the lighter side. It's a sparkling floral musk.
