I love this one! It’s decadent to me. I get warm roses and coco powder of the Hershey’s variety! ❤️❤️
ESHArcd – :
I tested this on my wrist last night,so delicious,sexy,sweet and beautiful but it does not last long,still I’m going to buy it
TitMeessoff – :
Wow, this smells really good on my skin. But I get semi-sweet vanilla mixed with peach and light hint of chocolate. Definitely a seductive scent.

So I got this bottle . I spray it and I get an aromatic patchouli chocolate, the rose is there to freshen it up . I kept getting a reminder that damn it ive smelled this before and then it hits me Rochas Man . This is the Niche version of Rochas Man. The top notes are there but they fade away pretty quick what your left with is a sweet chocolaty coffee aroma . I would put the rose in the base but it’s so light it’s almost undetectable, I probably notice it more in the top at first. So to my nose this smells like Rochas Man sweet smooth chocolate vanilla coffee .But this lasts 8 hours plus

Smells like a bar of chocolate at first, then some florals and vanilla join. It’s not bad, but not as gourmand as I would have liked.
Lasts a good while and projection is good.
Like, but not love this one…
badsdarisyday – :
I was expecting something more gourmand, to me its very similar to yves saint laurent manifesto elixir
fin29 – :
On first spritzing, the chocolate is overwhelming. Then a bunch of florals pushed their way in, overpowering the chocolate. Oddly, I get very little rose. It smells way more feminine than masculine. This isn’t bad, but it certainly isn’t what I was expecting. There are too many other notes, vying for attention. In the end, it’s too much for me. Glad I tried first. I’ll stick with my lovely Velvet Vanilla.

You get a blast of chocolate and some rose in the beginning, later this mellows out to be a very syrupy chocolatey glob of fragrance; This doesn’t mean it is not good, but you will wait for some time to really understand the fragrance…all to find out it is more chocolatey sweet than anything.
I think this would suit the ladies more so than the men; wear what you like, IMO it would fit better on a woman.
Great longevity 7/10
Great projection 7/10
Overall nice fragrance…

Here I find a dark, soft and tender chocolate-note wellmixed with roses, violet, musk, vanilla and Blackberry. The Chocolate-note reminds me of the dark chocolate-note in TF Black Orchid – but this one is a bit more tender. I don’t find it overwhelming sweet – I find it just perfect. A parfum to wear almost year around – maybe not the hottest summerdays. In my opinion not unisex but for a daring man I say try – and maybe put a woody scent on layer. Happy to own this one.
Här hittar jag en mörk, mjukvarm chokladnot som är välmixat med ros, viol, musk, vanilj och svartavinbär. Chokladnoten påminner lite om den i TF Black Orchid men här är den mjukare. Tycker inte att den är speciellt söt- jag tycker den är perfekt faktiskt. En doft att bära nästan året runt förutom de allra varmaste sommardagarna. jag tycker denna är feminin men för en modig man så säger jag -prova, gärna med en träig doft lager på lager. Jag e jätteglad över mitt inköp.

An atomic bomb of chocolate..like a belgian chocolate…not a dark chocolate.. Its cool but not sure if I want to smell like a candy bar…verdict is out.
.update: going to layer with angel to bring out chocolate notes. Much better.

Chocolate, Vanilla,Sweet?? Where??
I cannot to smell nothing.Only one generic fresh for summer.This is really horrible, sorry.

Mancera Roses & Chocolate is loyal to its name, but not to a fault, since the rose and chocolate are not each so pronounced to overwhelm. Rather, the violet blends in smoothly and creates a unisex, albeit slightly feminine blend that performs pretty well as an EDP, generally for winter wear, though it’s not so cloying that it couldn’t be used on summer evenings.
This isn’t a fragrance I would often reach for, as the perfect rose/chocolate blend already exists in Tom Ford Noir de Noir, but it’s nonetheless a pleasant deviation from NDN in the addition of violet and a few other elements, such as peach and blackcurrant, though for me, violet represents the main distinguishing characteristic from other similar fragrances, I imagine.
Tempting if on sale again at Notino for under $50 for 120ml, but I doubt I’ll even buy it at that highly discounted price (contra $160 or so retail. Still, a nice entry unlike other rose fragrances I’ve smelled.

on my skin this does not smell like chocolate or roses but a synthethic mess :/

OMG this is amazing. Like an amazing chocolatey fruity dessert with hints of rose. Love!

I LOVE THIS PERFUME.
I used this for the first time today and as soon as I sprayed it I was hit by a screechy medicinal note that alarmed me and my heart sank – stay with me, it does have a happy ending.
Since it’s development, it only took only a few minutes to start it’s evolution, this has developed into beautiful fragrance.
It’s peppery – really deliciously so in fact, rosy with a dry chocolate (dusty chocolate?) note and it’s divine.
It’s not too sweet at all, although it is sweet, it stops just short of tooth-achingly sweet thanks to the dark chocolate and pepper.
Well balanced, fantastic blend of notes and a really good chocolate fragrance (I love gourmands).
jenea1 – :
I find it vaguely chocolatey and rather rosey, I definitely sense something a little similar to YSL Manifesto as well which I am not crazy for. Had I not known this was called Roses & Chocolate I don’t think my mind would have gone there.
hoteterseDutt – :
Wow,this is beautiful… my first time that I feel a Mancera perfume. Chocolate is evident,cocoa powder,with a sweet and a bit dark. Violet gives a bit of mystique, the rose is there but in a light way in my opinion… seductive scent, unique and sweet and knows also be dark. In its complexity is perfectly versatile, huge sillage and longevity … I recommend to all who love the gourmand, and fragrances with chocolate notes..I like it!

Is it you who smell so yummy?? What are you wearing?? These are just two of at least 6-7 comments on this Mancera creation in a mere hour. I smell chocolate and roses and more roses and even more chocolate after that. The scent does not develop further than these two notes on me, but I do not care! I get what I want-a good, beautiful, not oily and headache-creating roses and a good, yummy “real” chocolate.
Wow! Just wow! Oh, and staying power is notable! A good one if you are new to Mancera line.
casualties – :
Scent – peach rose, bergamot & chocolate.
Season/Time of Day – I prefer to use this one in the colder months, day or night.
Projection – I didn’t get noticed, I didn’t get a compliment.
Longevity – I get 8hrs consistently.

I’ve had a sample of this for a number of months, but used it only to test on my arm and never gave it a full wearing. I opted to buy a bottle about ten days ago after being on the fence for awhile. I am happy to report that this is much nicer when you can wear multiple sprays than the small amount one sprays when testing. I wore it to a crowded club with loud music and gyrating women. I got asked no less than eight times what I was wearing, in some cases “is that you who smells so good?” All eight were complete strangers, but a few didn’t remain strangers for long. Some were there with dates, others not. Some pulled out their phones and asked me to type in the name of the scent. I danced with three of the eight. Got some digits. All of the above is not to express my romantic prowess as much as it is to say that I am naming Roses & Chocolate as my new #1 clubbing scent. I knew women liked rose and chocolate as notes on men, because I have gotten positive feedback when I wear Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir and Montale’s Chocolate Greedy. But the results were never as stellar as with Roses & Chocolate. To my nose Chocolate Greedy and Noir de Noir are the better scents, but who am I to argue with success? Roses & Chocolate cut thru all the surrounding fragrances with ease. I am enthralled with its performance. Bravo, Pierre Mancera! By the way, does any one else here suspect that when Pierre Mancera shaves he sees Pierre Montale staring back at him in the mirror? I don’t care about this fictitious charade. Pete Mancera-Montale has redeemed himself with this one.

When I sprayed this fragrance, I only saw about roses, but the chocolate note was so obvious, that it’s full name wasn’t a surpise.
It starts from chocolate note with a hint of roses. The chocolote note is bright, but not too heavy. Only unfortunately later it becomes peachy.
I like the thing that this fragrance has a perfumised chocolate, not like food. More chocolate than in Thierry Mugler “Angel” but something like this. I mean not like a real food.
First I liked more Roses Greedy, but I wasn’t need it, because I have more interesting roses fragrances. But Roses Chocolate doesn’t go out of my head because its chocolate note. I think that I will buy a bottle soon or lately:) Because to smell roses with chocolate – mmm…
Fire_DoG – :
This smells to me like YSL’s Manifesto overlain with the chocolate smell of scratch n’ sniff chocolate chip cookie stickers, if you ever smelled those as a kid.
It’s rather pungent at the opening with mostly that musky sweet blackcurrant/vanilla synthetic blend of manifesto after a big burst of the ‘chocolate’ sticker. Not what I was expecting and I feel pretty neutral towards it. Projection seems very big though so that’s a + if you enjoy it!
Beeklymaymncdkye – :
I 1st get a very strong and deep, very realistic chocolate from an unsprayed vial stopper.
Unfortunately for me on spraying I then quickly get a ‘muddled note’ effect of the chocolate with it’s natural strong bitter-sweetness replaced by a semi-syntheic medly of dark greens and florals that turned out nauseating and a touch powdery.
These namely being the mandarin, violets offset by some very faint and airy peach and rose leaves. But the mandarin and violets came off pretty strong on me,, the chocolate lacked depth and punch/ or just outright extreme sweetness that I was after.
Obviously it turned into something very smoothed out and nice later on but I was hoping for something more dedicated to the Chocolate. I very much was after more blackcurrant and rose for maybe a raisin-bar/Turkish-delight kind of oddly-involving mix-up but sadly none of that happened.
It strongly took off and stayed in the orange/violets powder with hints of faint peachy, rose Wispa snack bar in the background. Nice but on the wrong side of the note pyramid for me.
I like Mancera for trying something a little different but sadly mandarin always somehow turns out to be a cloying affair on me,, and the violet didn’t help so this was a pass for me in the end.
But I knew I had to approach this 1 with a bit more caution than the easy-going Aventus-alike C Boise.
My rating: 5/10.
Quality: 8/10.

Floral chocolate. Rally great dark chocolate notes here! Not too much rose, only on the beginning. This is not casual gourmand fragrance. It feels like a classical mix. Somewhat reminds me of Angel, maybe because of the chocolate part.
donpakas – :
It opens with…chocolate!
I can smell some flowers but they are still unrecognizable. Maybe the rose and the peach makes me think of jasmine.
Its a different fragrance to have. People will smell chocolate on you, no doubt about it, but t still has a powdery/floral background.
At times it has the heaviness of perfumes from the 80’s, at other times it smells like a fun novelty fragrance.
sjyyufjmaqf – :
This is a very pleasant fruity chocolate mix. It smells like what a block of milk chocolate with fruit and nut bits tastes like. On me the fruit is more obvious than the roses. Its smooth without any rough edges and doesn’t have any hidden surprises during its lifetime on me. Gourmand/chocolate lovers should be very happy with this scent. I find this to be a much more realistic chocolate bar scent than Rose Rebelle, without the weird plastic note in RR and not as overwhelmingly sweet as Montale’s Chocolate Greedy. Sillage is rather quiet for me and longevity moderate.
hobrefleemo – :
On my skin this perfume is very, very similar to Mon Précieux Nectar which I love and own, a delicious gourmand scent with predominating caramel and vanilla notes. The rose is barely perceptible on my skin.
Honestly if you have one you don’t need the other.
usenueoxini – :
A very interesting scent. It’s powerful and longlasting. It’s one of the best rendition of chocolate note, nothing to share with most chocolate scents around. The accord with rose is just perfect, a very well balanced gourmand. I’m not sure I would wear it on a long term or constant basis, but it’s surely a very high quality and original perfume. My bf gave it thumb down. Tastes are tastes, but if you’re looking for a scent that keeps you captivated look no further and test it (before buying). Not for faint wallpaper flowers.
pompyifr129bedyWelty – :
proof is in the pudding. It should come with a warning label that says “If you wear this perfume, beware of neck-sniffing men who WILL steal a kiss”
welkom0 – :
I received a sample today- I really like it! The chocolate is so real smelling yet you can smell the flowers coming through. Very nice!
aam1979 – :
I bought it and now i think its too strong .. Does anyone know how can i calm down the rose and bring up the chocolate its way too strong. I was trying to play and make it more like chocolate Greedy from Montale and was wondering if anyone knew how i can block out the strong florals or at least pacify them a bit..
seg1978 – :
I’m very excited to have discovered Mancera, its so far the best niche scent line next to Serge Lutens imo… simply because i love their different woody creations. Plus i find it more unisex than some others. However, this little beauty is different one, very pretty, and one of the most beautiful chocolate, delicious for these special nights you literally want to smell good enought to eat 😉
