Mancera Velvet Vanilla

Mostly creamy heady flowers like jasmine and gardenia, rich and full. Underneath that, sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard.

It opens on pear, angelica and black currant, moves through tuberose, jasmine and neroli, and settles on vanilla and white musk.

• pear: light watery sweetness with a green crispness
• 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.
