Final Thoughts
This perfume was a blind buy, and I don’t usually gravitate to rose scents, but I do like this one. It is a jammy, musky rose as opposed to the typical mature floral roses, which is probably thanks to the vanilla note; The rose is definitely synthetic, so stay away if you prefer a natural rose scent. I do not pick up on the lemon note; I only get a syrupy sweet rose and Turkish delight. Although it is rose heavy, the scales tip more on the gourmand side of floral gourmand due to how sweet it is, but there is no denying the presence of the floral notes.
The house of Mancera is known for having beast mode fragrances, and this perfume definitely has the Mancera DNA present as it is very long-lasting. It lasts a couple days on clothes and all day on the skin. Over sprayers should be wary of this one. This perfume works best in colder seasons, so I pull it out in winter, but I also appreciate it on a chilly spring evening.
This is definitely more of a feminine scent; however, its muskiness and smokiness give it a sultry vibe instead of a flirty, girly vibe. It could work as a unisex scent depending on personal tastes, and Mancera has marketed it as unisex.
To wrap up, this scent is rich, decadent, sweet and sultry all in one. It is definitely one for the gourmand lovers instead of the floral lovers. This scent will be perfect if you have been looking for a jammy rose with elements of musk that mature up the smell. It is an attention-grabbing, long-lasting scent that will last you all day with just a couple sprays but stay away if you are not a fan of sweet sce
Until next time,
