Mancera Roses Greedy

Mostly the general smell of flowers, without leaning sharp or sweet. Underneath that, smells like food: caramel, chocolate, vanilla, bakery.

It opens on peach, black currant and mandarin orange, moves through rose, flowers and jasmine, and settles on white musk, sugar and vanilla.

• peach: soft and sweet with a fuzzy edge, more like the skin than the juice
• black currant: tart purple fruit with a green, faintly sulphurous edge. Often labelled cassis

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
