Roses Vanille

Roses Vanille by Mancera is a fragrance that feels like stepping into a dream, soft, sweet, and utterly enchanting. From the very first spritz, the zesty burst of lemon sparkles like sunlight on freshly fallen snow, cutting through the sweetness to create something bright and effervescent. It’s a fleeting introduction, but it lingers just long enough to prepare you for the heart of the perfume where candied rose takes center stage. The rose is so beautiful, so delicately decadent, that it feels like a dessert for the senses. Imagine Turkish Delight dusted with powdered sugar, its sweetness perfectly balanced by the warmth and creaminess of vanilla and cedarwood. It’s heady yet gentle, airy yet bold and somehow manages to wrap you up in its charm without ever feeling overwhelming or cloying. The rose doesn’t scream for attention; it whispers, soft and coquette, like silk brushing against your skin. What makes Roses Vanille truly special to me is its dry down. The vanilla and musk settle into something sublime, soft and powdery, like the scent of spun sugar melting into warm skin. It feels intimate, almost like a second skin but with just enough projection to turn heads. It’s the kind of fragrance that makes people lean closer, drawn in by its warmth and sweetness. It just gets better with time and long lasting, which means a little goes a long way. It’s perfect for those who love fragrances with a touch of whimsy and romance, like candied roses blooming in a fairy tale garden. Some may find the rose a little synthetic, but to my nose it’s pure magic, especially with the lemon note brightening it and keeping it from ever feeling overwhelming. Roses Vanille is the epitome of sweet decadence. It’s a ballerina twirling in a cloud of powdered sugar, a great white swan gracefully gliding across a mirror still lake, its every movement a perfect blend of elegance and quiet power. A head turning blend of elegance and romantic playfulness. It’s coquette, soft, airy and utterly irresistible, perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Despite its unisex label, Roses Vanille leans undeniably feminine in my opinion but its versatility makes it perfect for layering. Layering creates a stunning contrast of sweetness and woody spice, blending feminine softness with masculine depth. I’ve paired it with Kayali Vanilla 28 to amplify the vanilla and musk and the result is nothing short of dreamy sophistication. This is a must have for any coquette or lover of romantic vanilla forward gourmands. If you’re someone who dreams in pastel hues and lives for moments of quiet, sophisticated sweetness, this is a fragrance you’ll want to wear over and over again! One of my favourite purchases of 2024 and in my top 10 this year.

I've had a signature fragrance for years now, and I never thought I would ever find another one that would take my breath away. When I first ordered this fragrance It was a blind buy because I liked the notes and I relied on my intuition. When I first sprayed it I thought, this is nice I can wear this but not sure if I'm in love. I kept trying it again and again and about 3-4 days later I finally got it. It became the most amazing scent that I've tried till this day, and this makes my previous signature fragrance smell like water. I'm in love! I want to bath in this fragrance day and night, sometimes I wake-up in the middle of the night just so I can spray it some more and peacefully go back to sleep. The notes seem a bit boring, but trust me, this fragrance is nothing but, it's truly a hidden masterpiece, I'm surprised that it doesn't have more reviews or it's not as popular as it should be, maybe it's a bit selfish but I hope it stays that way because I want it all for my self :) When you officially spray it on you get a good smell of expensive vanilla, ( not the cheap one they use in mass production perfumes ), then my nose picks up a bit of rosy musk and just a tiny tiny bit of agar wood ( thankfully not much because I personally think agar wood smells like hospital with the mixture of morgue ). Depending on the temperature outside, during the warm weather there is more vanilla, during the cold weather there is a lot of rose ( not the old lady rose, but think of Marie Antoinette in her young days rose ). This takes me to my next point, you can wear this fragrance all year round, a true GEM. Thank you Mancera! EDIT: Forgot to add, on Russian fragrantica Roses Vanille gets compared to Montale's Roses Musk, in the beginning of 3-5 minutes, the smell of Roses Musk resembles Roses Vanille very little, but after 5 minutes Roses Musk becomes quite simple with the smell of pure rose and if the weather is warm it smells very musky not in a good way, but Mancera's Roses Vanille has no such thing, vanilla dominates and it smell more complex than Roses Musk.

This is so so yummy! The jammy, rosey, vanilla perfume of my dreams. It's pretty linear- all I really get throughout the experience is a sweet, jammy, syrupy rose with a sweet vanilla base. The fragrance definitely becomes more vanillic in the dry down on skin. It reminds me of a sweet rose Turkish delight/loukhoum. Although I do not distinctly pick up on the lemon in the opening, there is a slight freshness which I can only attribute to that, which prevents the fragrance from going down the cloying route, as it is very sweet. The scent is also very versatile- I find I can wear it during most occasions. I also find it to be quite adaptable, in the sense that sometimes it leans very syrupy sweet, and other times not so much. Definitely signature scent worthy. The longevity is very good on skin, even better on clothes. Whenever I wear this I always get comments (or complaints?) from my family on how I've "filled up the room". So if you want a sillage star, this is one for you. I love this scent so much that I find myself layering it with almost everything, just so I can always smell it. I'm actually quite surprised I'm not sick of it! Overall would 100% recommend!

Roses Vanille feels like a walk through a serene rose garden on a warm afternoon; airy, romantic, and gently indulgent. It opens with the fresh, delicate scent of blooming roses, soft and elegant without feeling overly sharp. Almost immediately, a smooth vanilla begins to weave through the florals, adding a creamy sweetness that feels comforting - like a subtle dessert note layered beneath the petals. As it develops, a faint woody nuance emerges, grounding the composition and adding depth. This balance between floral freshness and warm sweetness gives the fragrance a cozy yet refined character, lingering like a soft, pleasant memory. Performance is strong, with impressive longevity and a noticeable yet well-balanced projection that never feels overwhelming. Overall, Roses Vanille strikes a beautiful balance between rose and gourmand elements - luxurious, feminine, and inviting. It’s particularly well-suited for cooler weather or evening wear, especially for those who enjoy the interplay of soft florals and creamy sweetness.

I'm surprised to not see Lattafa Noble Blush on the "this reminds me of" list, because to my nose they're very similar - not to a dupe level, but there's a bright, sugary, syrup-like quality to the rose in both of these, and a creamy lactonic undertone that doesn't rise to the extreme of smelling sour or buttery. Noble Blush is my absolute favorite Middle Eastern frag and one of my favorites of all time, but Roses Vanille may dethrone it as my all-time favorite rose. It's smooth, creamy, bright and sweet all at once and just incredibly well-blended. I love roses in real life, but so often in perfumery they go very musty and powdery on me in a way that feels old-fashioned and overbearing; the exception tends to be a sweet vanillic rose gourmand blend. This is not a funeral home rose. This is a light, perfectly sweetened rosewater lemon drop cocktail, and it is gorgeous. This was my first Mancera scent but definitely won't be my last.

This is such a beautiful perfume. I knew I'd love it based on the notes alone but wearing it is better than I imagined. I didn't pick up on any citrus notes, which is fine because I don't need it in this. It's pure rose water at first spray—not too intense, powdery or heady—just perfectly delicate and pink. After about an hour, it gains a sweetness to it that adds just a sprinkle of sugar to the rose water. It's not yet vanilla, but definitely sweetening. Then, at about the five-hour mark, the rose begins to take the backseat while the vanilla and cedar come to the forefront. The sillage is moderate and the longevity is 7+ hours for me. I love rose scents and this did not disappoint. I'm relatively new to the fragrance world and, of the ones I've encountered, many rose perfumes are very powdery. I don't mind powdery roses but it was refreshing to experience this one being much fresher and a little sweeter.

So just know that just become something doesn’t smell good on someone else doesn’t mean that it won’t smell good on you for me. Personally, I get the vanilla a very soft hint of (Rose) and I also get just a tiny bit of lemon coming through and it smells really good and I feel like this is a year-round fragrance for sure because it’s not too heavy but it still has like something to it and that lemon I think is what will help you carry it out through the year. It doesn’t smell cheap on my skin at all. I have many designer and niche fragrances and all I can say is discover what you like and don’t follow trends because you’ll end up getting stuff you don’t like but again don’t be afraid to try new things. ‘ cause there’s things that I’ve purchased that I don’t think I would like to end up falling in love with.! Frangrances should be an extension of yourself so do you!

I usually associate every perfume that i have with one single word. The word for this one, in my view, is INOFENSIVE. And by that i dont mean that its weak or the performance is not good. It is playful, sweet and angelic. I cant really say that i can clearly distinguish the vanilla in this; id describe it as a rose water+sugar. I cant talk much about its performance because i just received it today so i dont have a strong opinion about it yet, but i feel like it was a goooood choice! For me this is suitable to all seasons, moments of the day. So if you re looking for a girly, playful, inofensive, sweet and why not, elegant rose fragrance, give it a try! Btw - it smells 90% like Rose Gourmand from Zara, so if you want to test/smell it somewhere, you can try it there! Im pretty sure the performance is not the same one, but the smell is really close.

I really like this fragrance, delicious type of sweet rose that’s suitable for any season, any occasion, daytime, nighttime, any time. Very versatile, sweet and floral. It has the sweetness found in Xerjoff’s K’Bridge Club and at the same time you get the fresh rose found in Majouri Jour 5 or Alexandre J. Black Muscs. I do like K’Bridge Club a little better as it’s smoother without the citrus, but for the price, I’m happy with Roses Vanille. They smell so similar, main difference is the citrus and the price: paying 90€ for 120ml of Roses Vanille vs 180€ for 50ml of K’Bridge Club. Roses Vanille has better performance too. I absolutely love the minimalistic bottle design and the magnetic cap. The little twist when you close it makes my inner child happy.

I am a lover of all things rose, and all things yummy. This is the love child of a rose and a vanilla bean! Once I sprayed it on myself I couldn't get enough, I was sniffing my own wrist all day like a weirdo! Upon application it is a beautiful blend of soft roses, sweet and musky vanilla, and a tinge of something fruity. (probably the lemon, which is VERY subtle) It's sillage is pretty good, I had coworkers and family compliment me as I walked by! Once it dries down, it is very much pure vanilla, musk, and just oozing with warmth. If you really like gourmands this is an amazing perfume. It lasted on my skin 4+ hours! Overall, I love this perfume and I will continue to sniff myself because of it.

I love this smell, I don't get much lemon at all, can definitely catch on the rose but it's overpowered by the vanilla sweet scent which I appreciate as I'm not a floral perfume type of girl. I personally have only layered this perfume with more woody or oudy scents as it's already a very sweet scent, so be careful when layering with other sweet perfumes. I think it's pretty versatile and I would say can be worn all year round but I'd reach for it less during hot summer days, definitely more feminine in my opinion I have seen men wearing this fragrance and it still works!

I got the ZARA version without ever smelling this one, I just really enjoyed the ZARA scent. After using that one up, I bought this. It actually smells softer and projects less than my ZARA one did. In saying that, I found this for a good price, so the bottle being 120mL is a good thing, means I can spray a bit more when I want to be smelt more, or I can control it if I want to be a bit more subtle, or layer this with something else. I still really enjoy the femininity of this scent and how romantic it is.

Amazing fragrance. top 5 from mancera. It smells exactly like the name, rose and vanilla, and nothing else. such a simple frag you dont get bored of. very strong, lasts all day, projects well, whats not to like? This should be labeled a unisex frag tbh, not every sweet/floral frag needs to have tobacco, leather, oud, or rum/booze in it to be worn by men. this is easily wearable by most men and is a break from disgusting synthetic sweet frags for men like pdm althair or paco rabanne 1 million 10/10

This is just LOVELY... the opening with lemon and the sweet sugar underlying the fresh rose with the creamy candied almost caramelized vanilla flowing through!! Dreamy. Vibes of Gentle Fluidity Gold/Barakkat Gentle Gold with the woody vanilla- both affordable and a phenomenal performer! Even though this has been on the market for almost a decade, it's got such an innovative and inviting character! Even if you are not a floral or rose fan, this beauty will add so much to your collection!

this scent is so beautiful,, I have this in a small tester bottle and im almost out, I seriously have to save up to get the bigger bottle as this smell like pure heaven to me. the musk, the vanilla, the not too overpowering rose smell, its just such a perfect balance and every time I wear it I have my wrist up to my nose the whole time sniffing it. I will say, this scent is not very strong and does not last long on me at all, but regardless I love it. beautiful.

Wowza, this is like BIG! PINK! SUGARY! SWEET! And there is rose in there, but not heavy floral rose, but candy sweet bright pink rose with a big scoop of French vanilla ice cream and a pink frosted sugar cookie with a crown of fluffy pink frosting and sprinkles! I am blown away at how bold and sweet and candy like this is! Really love the sillage and always get compliments on this one!!💗🌹So happy to have the big bottle, I just love this beautiful scent!!

Roses dipped in honey. I thought I disliked sweet fragnances before i blind bought this. Yes its sweet but the blend is so incredible, works on my skin very well, I apply it in the morning and it lasts all day. My nose has gotten quite used to it atp and it feels super natural to wear it, I often get compliments from my girlfriends. This is very much a wintertime/autumn fragnance, I wish it worked for summer because it is so incredibly beautiful.

Beautiful daytime scent! Very feminine! At first I was stressed about it potentially smelling like Lush’s rose jam. But I was pleasantly impressed! At first it’s this beautiful rose scent with a beautiful vanilla. (I don’t really get lemon nor the musk on me..) and later on dries down to a slightly floral but creamy vanilla. The dry down reminds me of Zielinski & Rozen’s vanilla blend! Love it!! Can still smell it on my shirt, 2-3 days later..

@Scentomatography Loved your review, although a tad long it was very spot on and sounded knowledgeable and informative but also entertaining. I was trying to find the words to describe this perfume but I am lacking the knowledge about cedar and it's price point. So i was thinking that it has something dirty and musky or animalic as if sweating bodies after sex smoking a cigaret and the lady is wearing a rose and vanilla perfume. But hey.

To my nose, this is is a lite version of Arabians Tonka, but instead of beeswax, you get a sugary, humid, sticky honey scent. Think of the smell of crystalized honey with an exceptionally well-blended rose note that never becomes realistic but somehow it works. I can't seem to smell this very well, but I think that's a me thing. I am hoping it will become more potent after it matures/oxidizes. I will come back and update.
