Rich toffee vanilla with a pink pepper and fruit undercurrent. It gets musky flowery — the rose is clearly present and definitely has a good deal going on. It might be too much for me, but it’s so pretty and yummy that I’m going to have to revisit next fall when I’m more in the mood for a fruity scent to make up my mind.

It’s like everyone described below, bright fruity, sweet, floralish and long lasting on me. However I do have add that this has a thick syrup like texture with the fruit, sugar, florals all together linearly for about five hours. I would have preferred to have more expression or variety in the base.

To me, this starts with tart, transparent and light raspberries (or a combination of pink berries). A moment later the raspberries turn to blackcurrants and melon bordering on overripe, giving this an aquatic fruity feel, very succulent and sweet. As it dries down, the warm vanilla notes make their appearance. The sweet fruits and vanilla together with the dewy, fresh rose, this is a sweet rose jam scent with many sides to explore. Reminds me alot of Fancy, as someone further down mentioned, but this is more mature and with a fresher character, whereas Fancy is sweeter.

OH MY HEAVENS! Here we have a love at first sniff. A perfume to renew your love of fragrance if you’ve become a little jaded.
The opening has a freshness (pink berries?) and a brightness that makes it “cristal”. You can’t tell that the flower is rose, it’s so well blended with the vanilla and amber. The whole composition is, in fact, so expertly blended that the individual notes are hard to pick out. It just comes across as effortless.
I generally wear perfumes based upon my mood, not time of day, outfit etc., but this is a special occasion perfume IMO. worthy of a bride on her wedding day.

I have tried some roses by now, and this is by far the best one for me. It’s a beautiful, sweet rose with a touch of gourmand notes but not so much that it becomes edible. And it’s not citrusy, watery or ozonic. And it doesn’t come with brances and twigs. And it doesn’t come with church going ladies either. It’s delicate: a little sweet, lightly spicy rose which has a fresh and airy feel to it despite it’s gourmand notes. It’s so well balanced and a beautiful and in a class of its own. I’d really want it if it wasn’t so darn expensive. Love it! <3
edit: tuberose and jasmine is missing in the note line up above, according to Micallefs homepage.

Rose lovers or those who love the scent of a rose, but rose notes in perfume can be tricky — this is one to try.
Incredibly well made, beautiful rose dominant scent. The rose is strong but it is fresh, dewy, smooth and pleasing. It is perfectly balanced with a nice vanilla and sweetness that is gorgeous and at the same time almost subdued and easy to wear.
I notice the pink pepper and cinnamon in it almost equally which stuck around for the almost the whole day. They sit in the background and are not too much. Kind of just at the sidelines supporting the heart of the scent. The musk is definitely noticeable. The musk w/ the vanilla and rose gives the fragrance a sort of Mancera does rose notes feel. The toffee and amber based adds a sweetness to it but it is not sticky sweet or too foody gourmand.
The top notes and the rose stuck with me for a long long time – 10 hours easy. It took HOURS to just smell a base of vanilla amber sweet at the end, the next day I could still smell it vaguely.
The sent is amazingly strong in terms of longevity and quite a bit of sillage, yet is not too over powering or cloying.

Starts very sweet and sugary on my skin. The pepper is also prominent, giving a slight spicy note to the sweetness. Then ambroxan notes, and rose. It is a soft and sweet rose. The vanilla becomes more and more prominent turning this scent almost into a gourmand.
Sillage and longevity are moderate on me.
I’m not a fan of ambroxan or rose, but I enjoy the sweetness of the vanilla toffee notes. The rose lingers in the background. Very beautiful scent, but not my thing.

I am officially in love and I would imagine this is what classy upmarket love affair smells like. I can picture myself wearing long red velvet robe and gliding across the polished ballroom floor with a handsome rich man. I am the star of the show and I am untouchable.
On the first sniff I get heavy, sweet bulgarian rose oil scent straight away, blended really smoothly with luscious creamy vanilla and buttery toffee. The longevity and projection are pretty good, even just dabbed on.
Sure, it is very sweet, but it is intoxicating heavy sweetness, oozing richness and warmth. I am not sure this would work on a hot sunny day but today is a cold, freezing, grey day and it fits the mood superbly.
I wish this wasn’t so expensive and I really hope one day (soon) I could own this stunner.

I can tell that it’s a fragrance of great quality. I sprayed it on at the duty free shop a good 10 hours ago, and after a flight, it is still going full blast on me. I enjoyed it at the beginning but cannot wait to scrub it off. Somewhere during the flight, I started wondering “what’s THAT SMELL?!” It was me. The perfume has gone sour.
lounsespoinue – :
Just received this in a swap/sale (thanks!) & I’ll be honest; my initial impression was a bit disappointed. I was expecting more of a powerful rose-candy vibe due to the Mancera Roses Vanille comparison and on me all I get are the toffee and vanilla at first.
BUT… then a slight musky warmth with amber makes its appearance underneath all the sweetness and the initial almost too syrupy vibe is toned down into more warmth. But still, alas, almost no rose to be found on me.
THEN I had a brilliant idea: layer with Stella McCartney! Stella’s always been gorgeous but a bit too one dimensional to me. And VOILA! Now it does indeed smell like the Mancera, which I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to bathe in or take a bite of. Delish. I highly recommend this combo to others like myself who want a more gourmand-floral.

super soft and sweet vanilla perfume its just prefect

I tried this today and I was taken. Even more I liked a black version I cannot remember the name.
This is an extremely good vanilla with rose and toffee. It smells attractive and addictive with a great quality level. Not much going on here but what goes really goes. I don’t think it smells like some celeb scent, because none of those possess the strenght and purity of this vanilla. It doesn’t smell complicated, basically a great gourmand without falling into the synthetic vanilla vat. It’s gourmand but not too foody or candy. Both vanilla and rose make a soft yet intense fragrance, sweet without being sickening, just balanced. Probably not worthy its price, not even for the beautiful jeweled bottle, nonetheless lovely. It keeps melting with my skin and becoming warmer and even more addictive.

People are going to want to smack me for this, but it reminds me of Jessica Simpson Fancy. Don’t get me wrong, I would MUCH rather have this frag, and I am anxiously awaiting the day when I can finally buy a full bottle. But especially at first spray, very reminiscent of Fancy. It doesn’t have the horrible rancid fruit smell that Fancy does, thank god, but the sweet, vanilla/caramelly heavy smell along with a bit of fruit is there.
The pink berries note isn’t listed here but my sample card had the note pyramid and pink berries is one of the top notes, it doesn’t last very long but it is quite prevalent for the first 3-5 minutes. I am REALLY not a fan of rose but this is the first perfume I have ever loved that has rose in the notes. It is definitely there throughout, but it is very light and it keeps it from being TOO over the top sweet, in my opinion.
For the most part, this is a syrupy-sweet frag with a bit of rose to tone it down and make sure it isn’t too young, I really feel like this is perfectly blended. Like I said, I am going to shell out the [probably] $225 to buy this for sure, I check luckyscent every day waiting for it to arrive 🙂 If you like gourmands, you will most likely like this. Oh, and the scent lasts hours, which is beyond a miracle for me… one spray on top of my hand lasted me practically 8 hours. To put the awesomeness in perspective for you, most perfumes last 2-4 hours on me, and I spray 5-7 sprays. You want this perfume.
