Roses Jasmine

I've been sampling a set of Mancera perfumes recently and I must say that I like almost all of them very much. Roses Jasmine, in particular, stands out as my favourite so far. This is to me how the perfect floral bouquet should smell: rose and jasmin playing together in a powerful, yet delicate scent, with no sour smells, weird notes or sharp edges. I'm definitely going for a full bottle of it - perfect scent for the spring. It makes me smile! Second impression, I now have a FB: as many others pointed out, there is a pear note all the way through this perfume timeline. It starts very strong, but after 15-30 min calms down and then stays in harmony with the full composition. It's not a ripened pear, rather a fresh and slightly green one (which is probably the effect of the grass note). The rose and (slightly less) jasmine appear progressively on scene, making a very well-blended composition altogether, which lasts 9+ hours on my skin. Note after one month of wearing this perfume almost on a daily basis: I still like it very much, but my perception of it has quite changed. To me now it just smells like a fresh, fizzy pear juice. I can't really distinguish the flowers any more...maybe my sense of smell is a bit saturated or I just got a bit bored (?) It does not happen to me often to have such a change of mind with a perfume in a short period of time...I'll continue wearing this perfume gladly, but not with the same enthusiasm that I had a month ago. I'll keep this entire timeline written in case it helps other readers, but next time I'll definitely test a perfume for a longer time before writing my review.

During lockdown I got into perfumes big time! I ordered 20 samples from the Mancera website ( Love perfume houses that allow you to try and take your time before you commit to a full bottle!) Roses jasmine was the first one that I instantly loved and ordered a full bottle of. Then I decided to get a back up bottle of ( both 120ml) On me, this is feminine without being too girly. It's a discreet sensual smell and the pear is the most prominent note for the 1st couple of hours. After that, a soft jasmine comes to play and stay while the musk is there till a shower it off. I really love this scent and the lasting power is incredible for something so refined. I find it well blended. I can't pick any of the citrus notes ; the oakmoss is here throughout the wear but it's faint and in the background. This really shines on me during the summer months and when I get hot, it seems to revive itself even at the end of the day. I got a few compliments when I thought it had vanished. Take advantage of the Mancera and Montale website to get to know their perfumes before you buy a full bottle. Mancera is my favourite perfume house. I have so many of their offerings; I'm slowly reviewing them. I have been wearing this one since 2020 and I love it!

CHYPRE-(OUD) with Jasmine & Citrus-Rose-(GERANIUM). Opens with a fresh, citrus-fruity burst of pear, green-grass, lemon & mandarin, that deepens into the floral heart of the titular jasmine & roses accented by orange-blossom & patchouli. This all rests on a base of white-musk, oakmoss & cedar. Oud isn't listed, but I feel it there in the background. The rose here is velvety and leans to the lemon-y rose tones of geranium. Jasmine here brings some grape-leaning tones and embellishes the fruity white-floral aspect. The base here is soft and dusty from the white-musk & oakmoss and over time you get some soft woody facets from cedar. This type of scent could easily read as harsh for me, and yet it doesn't - it's beautifully blended, soft and wearable. Has above average performance for year round wear (although I would be most likely to wear this in spring-summer) with signature Mancera style (and this does have reminders of other Mancera scents). Enjoy!

I’m shocked this is not more universally loved. When I first got a whiff of it I ran to fragrantica expecting to see raves, and while I’m actually drawn to controversial scents I was so shocked by reviews calling it cheap, boring, and basic, I thought maybe I should get to know more about florals before I commit. Smelt it again today after several months, and it is just an instant classic for me. It is nothing revolutionary, but I admire it for being so linear. It’s not trying to be anything else. Sometimes I just want to smell like a basket of flowers, and that is this. The pear note stays for a long time and it’s beautiful smelling the soft roses and jasmine through that layer of fruit. I adore this.

Gorgeous perfume and, granted, "perfumey", so if you have something against that do stay away! Anyway, loads of lemon, mandarine and pear in the opening and especially the lemon and the pear follows into the deep and satisfying musky jasmin grounded in oak moss. Not so much rose, but a nice dose of orange blossom and patchouli, not very earthy. I find the jasmin, the oak moss and the cedar to be what stays the longest and the pear keeps on peeking through. It's a strong and powerful and intoxicating scent, almost brusque, totally in your face, very stylish and I-don't- take-no-for-an-answer fragrance. I don't think it is too sophisticated and I just love it.

Jasmine and rose combined type of scent. Quite strong in the opening... and quickly become softer and smoother after it toned down. I smell something that similiar with Elie Saab Le Parfum Intense, not identical, just a little vibe of ESLPI. Cant tell what it is.. but im thingking of the jasmine and orange blossom. Overal performance is great. Not a beast mode of projection and sillage but its definitely noticeable and last the whole day. You just need couple of application and you are good to go. No need to respray. For me 4-6 sprays are good enough.

Just sampled a decant of roses jasmine, boy oh boy do i love this perfume, the first dominant floral perfume i want to buy as a male, i have always been able to pick out the jasmine note in my fragrances and just thought i might like a jasmine dominant fragrance, yes i do, jasmine,rose and pear fresh sweetness blended perfectly, the jasmine has a dark mysterious edge about it, almost animalic but not, definitely on the pick up list.

Fresh realistic rose petals in pear syrup wrapped up in Mancera’s typical balsamic muskiness. Beautiful opening where the Rose is most prominent but doesn’t seem to last the distance, but the whole delicious development helps carry this fragrance. Good longevity, remnant sprayed on clothes is gorgeous, projects well. Wearing it on a mild winter’s day, and it’s doing its thing beautifully.

Obviously, rose and jasmine are the standout features but pear brings up a close third. I love the opening and it stays fairly linear for the duration. My only complaint is the longevity is not like the typical Mancera. I only get about 6 hours out of it after which it becomes a skin scent. Even on clothes it doesn't last very well. That aside, I still love it.

This perfume gave me headaches at first. Then i waited and waited for months til it macerated perfectly and now has become one of my favorites. Beautiful rose and jasmine fragrance with a burst of pear and dries down to a calming oakmoss. I love layering this with Hermes H24 EDP. They are so good together.

Roses Jasmine Mancera has very strong power, in a good way! :) It has more to it than just roses and jasmine. I can pick up pears rounded off with musk and oakmoss which makes it truly unisex. It has a slightly fruity undertone and it's just lovely. It is a spectacular scent.

this perfume delivers what it name says... bouquet of jasmine and roses. somewhat a little aquatic. fruity kind of sweet. i am so glad this fruity rose doesnt turn sour on my skin. light and translucent, but still rather long lasting. i am enjoying this a lot!

Ah, this is LOVELY 😍 Think Delina without the fruits, but with jasmine and pear. Light, floral, fun and exciting. Full bottle worthy for me!

beautiful jasmine rose combination. sillage not as strong as jasmine absolute, fantastic nonetheless with greater floral variety.

I have to say I'm quite unsure of how I feel about this fragrance. I like it I think????? Let me try to explain I was actually very impressed when I smelled the cap, Fresh jasmine with a hint of rose and a slight fruity something that I thought was lychee but now that I know the notes is probably the combination of pear and citrus. I sprayed it and I disliked it a few minutes in. It wasn't repulsive enough that I'd say I hate it, but the slight sour fruitiness I was initially pleased with disappeared and was replaced by a cloying, synthetic and extremely sweet rose and I'd wager some of the green notes from the oakmoss as well. I decided to keep wearing it just to see if my opinion will change and it did, somewhat. I wore it out a couple of times(before the plague happened) and a lot of my friends and even a few strangers (all ladies) complementing my fragrance. I kept wearing it just to keep testing but whenever I sniff my own wrist I was put off by how see it was. It took me a while until one day I was wearing it in my car and realise the sillage smelled very different from when I smell it up close on my wrist. The sillage is mostly jasmine and pear with a little but of citrus, some of the synthetic sweetness was there but it wasn't cloying at all. Not the most unique fragrance by far but very pleasant and easy, long-lasting pick for a spring/summer day out, just don't put your nose directly to it maybe unless you plan to get a cavity from how sweet the synthetic rose is up close

Mancera is a great house if you have perfume eating skin like mine. This has great projection & longevity and will last all day. I should love Roses Jasmine, but it stays firmly in the “like” category. It is so almost there, but it doesn’t have that special something I’m looking for. I’m finding myself yearning for some vetiver, more rose and jasmine and to amp up the base notes and that chewy Mancera DNA just one more notch. Instead, the pear, orange blossom and lemon notes dominate, and slightly sour the composition, which wouldn’t be a bad thing if there was something more earthy to balance it. The cedar, oakmoss and white musk are a nice anchor; I just wish they were.....more. It is a lovely perfume, just not quite a keeper for me. I do really like it, though, and would keep it if I didn’t have 200+ perfumes in my wardrobe.

I love Mancera. Good longevity and great sillage. Here I find a great mix of dark rose, white flowers, fresh ceder, sweet pear & Musk. 1-2 sprays goes a long way, if you spray more it will be a roomkiller and awful. Mancera does not belong to the cheap brands - but they are worth every penny. Jag älskar Mancera. Bra hållbarhet och rejäl utstrålning. Här finner jag en skön mix av mörka rosor, vita blommor, fräsch ceder, söt päron & musk. 1-2 sprej räcker långt och om du sprejar mer så blir den hemsk. Mancera tillhör inte de billiga märkena men de är prisvärda.

Dang, that pear is STRONG! I wouldn't say this is a fruity fragrance but I'm getting a strong rose and pear with a little jasmine underneath. I was expecting the opposite, a rose and jasmine dominant fragrance. This is quite light and not as long lasting as I was expecting but maybe it'll shine most in the spring. Funny how fragrances smell so different on everyone.

Starts very well with some green, fruity and fresh blend. Almost every Mancera has very good opening. After a few minutes jasmine comes around, then rose joins the party. It is quite aromatic and feminine. Dry down is a bit repulsive for me as i get camphoric nuances with floral notes. Good for many but not my taste.

Big fan of Mancera but just cannot find how to enjoy this Roses Jasmine. It's very synthetic in a negative way. Best way I can describe it on my skin is plasticky and nauseating. Most of the Mancera is synthetic smelling but enjoyable to me. Just not this one. I will keep trying.
