I reviewed Black Vanilla. Gotta tell ya...My mouth flew open when you said it didn't last long. Two hours???? Holy smoke! Easily, and consistently 10-12 hours on my skin! I can still still smell it after a shower!
At first I thought I was anosmic to it, so I asked the people around me if they could smell it and they couldn't either. I think my skin must not like that particular scent. LOL
@@MandyDavisMUA Maybe its expired, or has been exposed to light or heat...that fragrance is BEASTLY and I rarely find a perfume my skin doesn't devour in 3 hours, or less.
@@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens Not sure. I bought it straight from them and used it upon arrival. All of my scents are stored in dark, cool places. I am sure it's just my skin. Everyone's chemistry is different, and I have beast fragrances that I can only spray two sprays of and know people who have said they can't smell it themselves. The complexities of fragrance....
My Mancera favorites: 1) Roses and Chocolate 2) Instant Crush 3) Purple Flowers 4) Velvet Vanilla 5) Black Vanilla I was in the Mancera/Montale shop in Paris in fall 2019. I haven't smelled any of the releases after that date. Thanks for making this video. These are affordable but I love the nuclear projection and longevity!
I'm a big lover of Mancera and was shocked that you didn't like Wild Cherry. I absolutely love it. I understand what you said about the opening. The opening is a bit harsh and soury indeed, but after a little while it really opens up on me and it doesn't feel as harsh and up my face anymore. Love the dry down on it. My absolute fave has to be Aoud Café. It was my first Mancera and really started the addiction for Mancera.
Please try to mix it with Wild Candy or Velvet Vanilla. I was mixing it with Velvet Vanilla, just tried Wild Candy and it’s pure heaven. It makes the cough syrup vibe of Wild Candy disappear and it’s this gorgeous gourmand thing that I didn’t think was even possible. The two wilds mixed together might be my new signature fragrance ❤❤❤.
Yes, I have Intense Cafe, so that is the only reason I haven't gotten the Roses Vanille yet. I haven't smelled Gold Incense. I will have to look that one up!
coco vanille, aoud orchid and black vanilla are my absolute favvveessss. sometimes i find myself smelling my wrist through the day when wearing the aoud orchid especially. it smells so good
I only trust your taste in fragrance from now on. I tried so many scents based on some of the big name and flashy perfume guys and gals and I was always disappointed because what they liked I hated. Your Mancera picks are exactly how I feel about them. On your recommendation I bought Red Tobacco for my husband, Instant Crush and Velvet Vanilla & Instant Crush for me and I promise those are all we have been wearing for the past 4 months. I parked my Baccarat, though I absolutely love it, it’s too expensive to use everyday and your picks allow me to stand out, feel luxurious without spending too much! Keep making these amazing vids!!❤❤❤
I bought 9 Mancera decants for my wife and.... Yeah..... Choco Violet was by far the most offensive of them all, to my nose. She's heading home from work now to check them all out. I bought Holidays Jardin Exclusif Aoud Vanille Choco Violet Black Gold Roses Vanille Roses Greedy Instant Crush. I've only smelled them on scent strips, but many of them seem to have an "air freshener" quality to them. IDK. Maybe once they dry down they'll be more palatable. I got all those Mancera decants because I bought Red Tobacco. First a decant, then a bottle. I am absolutely OBSESSED with that fragrance. These perfumes don't measure up to that, but I'm sure they'll dry down into very nice scents on her.
I watch a lot of perfume reviewers. Happen to stumble upon yours today. I really liked your straight forward delivery, and detailed explanation of scents. Very well done. Oh, most appreciate you getting right to the point😀
I'm so interested in Mancera. I have Instant Crush and Holidays. I'm waiting on Black Vanilla and Juicy Flowers. I gave away Kumkat Woods and Pink Prestigium I sent back. But I'm definitely buying more!!!! Hope they don't disappoint. I totally agree with you, This house is beast mode and their fragrances SLAY!! Alot of reviews say Juicy Flowers and Jardin Exclusif smell almost identical.
Jardin means garden. I'm sure you can see the similarity when you look at the words. As to how to pronounce it reasonably well... take "shar" from shard and combine it with "den" from denizen. Glad you like Red Tobacco. I like it, just like Instant Crush. There are plenty of Mancera's I've got interest in.
Great video! Never get boring from start to end, Have you tried Roses Greedy? What do you think? You mentioned liking peach notes, and this fragrance has them. (My sister is turning 39 on march 22 and I would like to gift her a Mancera just don’t know which one any recommendation?
Thanks for your recommendation about Velvet Vanilla. It was a love at first sniff! Just simply spraying it puts a smile on my face and it really elevates my mood.
I got the seven piece tester set and have tried three. My favorite so far is Sicily then Black gold and finally Rose vanilla. I enjoy them all, looking forward to trying the rest!
Love Mancera Holiday , but my favorite house is Parfume de Marly . Have you tried any of them ? I am in love with almost all the fragrances, and they last a long time . My favorites are all 3 Delinas , Cassili, and Meliora…💕
Would love to see your ‘love these notes’ video! I would also love to see a ‘these are affordable perfumes that smell expensive’ type video!! Also - do you have any Montale perfumes? I have intense cafe and it’s soooo good!!!
Hello there from Dominican Republic. I LIKED YOUR LITTLE EXPLANATION OF ROYAL VANILLA vs INSTANT CRUSH. I will like to see a deepest review of both, because I have some olfactive contradictions, hehehe, with them. I will try to explain myself. I got a decant of ROYAL VANILLA and at first I found it kind of medicinal, but interesting. Then the drydown caught me to the point of getting the 60ml bottle, the cheaper could I find. However, I had doubts because I noticed different scent from that of the decant... Someday, after viewed some Mancera reviews, I bought a decant of INSTANT CRUSH, and curiously, this aroma I perceived it almost identical to my 60ml bottle of ROYAL VANILLA. I just bought two 120ml bottles of the INSTANT CRUSH (one for me and one for sale) and I'm going to compare it to my 60ml bottle of RV
I am dying to try Choco Violet, mainly because of you :) I currently have Roses Vanille, Black vanilla, Velvet Vanilla and Vanille Exclusif. I love them all but I think my absolute favourite would be vanille exclusif. Non Mancera related, you NEED to try EBK’s Ruby N Vanilla! Omg it is my current obession. SO good! 🙏
Are vanille exclusif and black vanilla different enough to get have both? I have black vanilla and not sure if I should get other different mancera vanilla’s
@@2AbleFly tough question. They are different yes, but I can’t quite tell where the difference lies exactly. I think that the black vanilla is more floral and the exclusif is sweeter.
I am trying to decide between Velvet vanilla and exclusif 😌 The notes looks so damn delicious on exclusif but from what I’ve read and heard, more people enjoy the velvet better. Any inputs?
I have 2 Manceras , instant crush and royal vanilla, 2 Montales queen of roses and intense cafe which is the only one I won’t repurchase, next I’m getting wild python and Cedric Boise , I purchased the 200ml bottle of BR540 and instant crush has a similar vibe but like $550 cheaper
According to mancera Royal vanilla has: HEAD NOTES Citrus Fruits, Rose Water, Pink Rhubarb Leaves. HEART NOTES Caramel, Rose Petals, Violet, Orange Blossom. BASE NOTES Amber, White Musk, Vanilla & Patchouli leaves.

Yeah, I have found this to be the case with many of the perfume houses and beauty in general really. I am not sure if most of it is actual supply issues or just because everyone is doing it, so it seems to be expected. Not fun though.
Mancera is becoming one of my favorite houses. I would love to get my nose on Choco Violette it’s not something I would get but your review is making me really want to try it! Instant crush is definitely full bottle worthy
My favorites are coco vanille...instant crush..roses vanille is a bomb...i also love intense cafe from Montale. Can you review them next?? Great review btw
Thank you for the great video, So far I have tried choco Violette, which I like, and vanilla exclusive, Which I also like. I just ordered samples of holiday and velvet vanilla And I really look forward to getting them. I’ve been ordering my samples from Scent Split, they carry all of the Mancera perfumes and you can get them in 1 mil, 2 mil, 5 mil and 9 mil size samples. ! if I decide to buy a large bottle I will definitely use your link
I own Vanilla Exclusive as well and I love it. My first time I wore it in summer I was disappointed. However when I tried it during winter season I was amazed. I got 12 compliments everywhere I went that day.
Thank you Mandy… I think you just helped me decide which I’m going to sample --first velvet vanilla and choco Violet are definitely on top of the list. If you happen to read this comment could you please tell me what shade your eyeshadow is? I have similar coloring and would like a simple eye to do an all over color. It’s beautiful on you!😊❤️
You are so welcome! I can't remember exactly, but I am 90% sure that I was wearing the jane iredale blush in "Sheer Honey" on my eyes with a brown shadow as liner. That blush is one of my VERY favorite colors to use on my eyes. :)
I have your top 4 and I adore them too, my favourite is one that is very rarely talked about Aoud Black Candy. It’s liquorice heavy with a green salty twist so beware if that’s a deal breaker, I blind bought it because I was curious. I feel fierce when I wear it.
I also have wild cherry and agree with you on it as well. I have found a way to wear it that minimizes the cough syrup scent, yet still allows the cherry note to stay prominent. I go outside about 10 to 20 minutes before I have to leave the house, if I’m wearing it out. I spray about 3 sprays in a cloud downwards and in front of me then step into the fragrance cloud. I know it’s ridiculous, but I have a 120 ml bottle lol. I only wear it in late fall and winter because it’s way too strong in the heat.
When I first got Coco Vanille I sprayed 6 sprays forearms, neck and shirt. I go with Denise to the market 3 hours later and one of the butchers behind the meat counter said, “wow ! What is that perfume? It’s sweet like cotton candy. I love it!” He was looking at Denise. She told him it was me. He and talked about it for awhile. He’s this big muscular retired Army veteran. I’m former Air Force. At the end of our conversation he asked me where I got it and how much. This scent in my opinion is good by itself but a great one to blend as well. Super uncomplicated vanilla and coconut. I wear this to bed a lot. It’s a comforting scent. It would be interesting to see what Chad thinks of the scent trail you would leave behind in an outdoor situation.
You do such a superb job in describing these - I really want choc violet and velvet vanilla. Your makeup looks so stunning here - I hope you will do a tutorial on this look. LOVE.
I have 4 full bottles (your #2-4) and Roses Vanille. I think I’m going to have to try your #1. Roses Vanille is so beautiful…yes it is super similar to Intense Cafe but I still love having both. Thanks for this roundup. Can’t wait to try your favorite.
I still want Roses Vanille even though I have Intense Cafe too! I also have Tiziana Terenzi Delox which is also similar but the coffee note is a little more amped up.
The best form of expression on Mancera for woman, professional, honest and excellent English . KUDO to your video! Rose Vanille I found the main flower extremely synthetic, a big turn-off . To me , non-natural ingredients for parfum industry only work with lychee n all sugary notes ( gourmand) , no way flowers . This scent remains nice fragrance but cheap to me, kinda pillow/ bedroom spray quality. Does Velvet Vanilla share the same synthetic vibe in all flowers as the one I had ?
Thanks so much for this review! I will definitely be getting the travel spray set! Do you know if Mancera will give you a discount if you order full sized bottles? You know how xerjoff gives you a credit from the trial size toward the purchase of a full size. Anyway I am new to your channel and you do a fantastic job of explaining the notes in detail! ♥️👌🔥
You are so welcome! To my knowledge, you don't get any kind of discount code with the travel set that other companies sometimes do. I didn't anyways. Thanks so much for watching!
Recently got Cedrat Boise, it's just sublime, I love it. I see Black Vanilla is on sale but I'm really not sure as a blind buy, I hear the opening is very feminine
I just saw you yesterday on the live with Abby. I’m so glad I did! And I’m ordering the Choco Violet today. Well a sample of it first. Can’t wait to smell it. I’ve been looking for a violet scent. I’m not a huge lover of chocolate scents but I do want to at least smell this. It’s very intriguing as you talk about it. 😊
I literally watched a lot of videos to see what people compared the velvet vanilla to because I just knew I had it already and you hit it right on the money when you said Angelique noir!!!
Hey how are you? Did you tried Feminity by Mancera? Its my favorite from the house, there is something about it that i 🤍 LOVE so much! Also the Tonka Cola, Coco Vanille, Amber Fever and Holiday i love so much. Also didn't like Jardin Exclusif (sold mine) Much love from Amsterdam 🌏🩷
I haven't tried that one, but I have it on my "to try" list and want to get my nose on it for sure. I have a decant of Tonka Cola and do enjoy that one too. xoxo
I've been waiting for this video. Thank you! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Choco Violet. I think it is my fav of all my perfumes. Smooth is the perfect word for it. Nothing harsh about it. I also LOVE LOVE Velvet Vanilla. I blind purchased both of these and so glad I did. My next will be Holidays.
Brenda, don’t you think Choco Violet more masculine than feminine? There are so many reviews saying that that I’m afraid to blind buy it and be disappointed. The only chocolate smell that I know and like is Prada Candy Night.
@@deiaasd I don't get that at all. I love it on my skin and so does my husband. But then I don't really think about masculine or feminine. I judge if I like it by how it smells on me. I haven't smells Prada Candy Night. That one probably isn't for me because of the Patchouli which gives me a headache. See if you can get a sample before you spend $$$ for a bottle. I did just blind buy Holidays and not quite sure how I feel about it. It doesn't smell like a vacation in a bottle on me. Someone said it smells like a Pina Colada and I don't get anything remotely like that on my skin LOL We shall see on that one.
So sorry the Holidays isn't working out for you. It's crazy how skin reacts differently to scents. But I am SO happy that you are loving the Choco Violet. It's so unique and I love it so much!
These are new to me. I love ouds but also white florals lol- but not together. I have been looking for a return to the big scents of the 90's. Mancera looks very promising to me.
@@MandyDavisMUA I got my perfumes. I looooove Instant Crush and Choco Violette. They are beast and last til the next day even after I showered. The Chocolate Greedy is just okay, it's more powdery after 20 mintues and turned to a skin scent. The other 2 are back up bottle worthy. Thanks for your review!
I have been binge watching your fragrance videos. I love Mancera as well. I own 3 Holidays being my favourite and Velvet Vanilla next but mine does not have the magnetic lid. Lastly I really like Roses Vanille. So enjoyed this I need to purchase more I’m always researching them. So many to choose from. This helps
I have a sample of Roses Vanille...it's super similar to Intense Cafe from Montale which I have, so I haven't purchased that one yet, but I love the smell! Glad this was helpful!
Mind sharing what you have on your lips in this video? Awesome review/round up. I've really gotten into fragrance in the past year. Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews is such a nice channel.
Sure! It's the jane iredale play on lip color in Saucy and the jane iredale gloss in Soft Peach. He really does have a great channel...lots of great information!
Hi!🙂 I just found your channel today and I was watching a different video But I saw the Bible verse come out in your intro and I had to take a double take because I have that verse as a tattoo!! LOVE THAT!! I was curious if it came out in other videos which it did! Thats so awesome!! So I had to subscribe! Looking forward to watching your content! This video especially caught my eye. 😉
Hey Mandy!! I purchased Holidays and love it but not sure why it doesn't last that long on me. But that's ok... it's so good. Not Mancera but finally tried Ellis B Salt and Myth. OMG LOVE!
Have you’ve tried Lemon mint Mancera? I’m mainly a 1 or 2 fragrance person and I only buy cheapies, but I found expensive ones are way more worth it to purchase 1 or 2 then 5 cheap ones. I’m a guy btw just for reference on lemon mint
I have and it wasn't my fave, but that is probably because I am not a huge citrus person. I know a ton of people love it, and if you are a freshie lover, you would likely really enjoy it.
Did anyone ever tell you that you look a lot like Busy Philipps? Am I the only one? :D Was just watching a movie with her in it, and immediately thought of you
Omg Black Vanilla on my skin lasts my whole work shift. The only mancera that doesn’t last for me, is Amber Fever, I spray it and literally in 20 minutes, it’s gone.
I so wish Black Vanilla lasted on me. I had a sample of Amber Fever, and I do remember having that same issue. I love the smell but it didn't have that Mancera longevity for me.
I have Instant crush and been looking for a beast mode fragrance to add to my collection. Would you say choco violet is beast mode? The notes sound so interesting, but I wonder if thats a safe blind buy lol😂 also ‘the aoud’ and ‘gold intensitive aoud’ sound interesting…
I hope you would also do Montale one of these days. My Mancera faves are: Velvet Vanilla Roses Vanille Choco Violette Instant Crush Gold Prestigium Red Tobacco Holidays Pearl Musky Garden Purple Flowers Amber Fever Musk of Flowers
I only have Velvet Vanilla and my most expensive perfume is Angelica Noir by Guerlain and I can see how you can say they are similar but not really. AN smells amazing on clothes. It’s a great vanilla and Mancera Velvet Vanilla lasts forever on my skin but it just never felt complete. The dry down is so delicious but the other day I ordered Geneva Chocolate by Belayered and with my MACERA velvet Vanilla it kicks it up a notch. The dry down smells like this smoky dusty chocolate that I want to lick my arm. Lol.
New sub here! I'm gonna get a sample set! You look so pretty and id LOVE to know EVERY product and the colors you're wearing here...if you have the time and remember! 😂We have similar coloring and I need this makeup look!
Thank you so much! I can't remember everything, but I know the blush is jane iredale "Sheer Honey". That is also all I have on my eyes. And if I remember correctly, I am wearing the jane iredale liquid minerals topped with their purepressed base, their bronzer and their shadow in "allure" as my highlight. :)
I reviewed Black Vanilla. Gotta tell ya...My mouth flew open when you said it didn't last long. Two hours???? Holy smoke! Easily, and consistently 10-12 hours on my skin! I can still still smell it after a shower!
At first I thought I was anosmic to it, so I asked the people around me if they could smell it and they couldn't either. I think my skin must not like that particular scent. LOL
i have wild cherry of Mancera but its not long lasting😢
@@MandyDavisMUA Maybe its expired, or has been exposed to light or heat...that fragrance is BEASTLY and I rarely find a perfume my skin doesn't devour in 3 hours, or less.

I recently tried Mancera for the first time and ordered the Velvet Vanilla and Wow.... simply Beautiful! Definitely excited to try more

You look gorgeous! Makeup is so soft & pretty. I need to get Velvet vanilla sounds sooo good
It's so good! And thank you so much!
I adore Roses Vanille but it’s nearly identical to Montale’s Intense Cafe. I also have and love Gold Incense.
Yes, I have Intense Cafe, so that is the only reason I haven't gotten the Roses Vanille yet. I haven't smelled Gold Incense. I will have to look that one up!
For me black vanilla last until the other day!I love it
I totally agree. I wear it everyday and I love it!
Yes. I think she has a compromised bottle.
roses vanille is 10000% my favorite. my signature scent (one of a couple). it’s addicting.
I do love that one. I have had a few samples of it.
@@MandyDavisMUA your video has definitely convinced me to get a sample of choco violette! sounds so interesting.
Have you smelled Black Vanilla? I see it in sale but not sure about blind buying, it's unisex but people saying bit too feminine for guy's
coco vanille, aoud orchid and black vanilla are my absolute favvveessss. sometimes i find myself smelling my wrist through the day when wearing the aoud orchid especially. it smells so good
Yes! So good! I just added Lovely Garden to my Mancera collection, and I love it!

Oh this makes me so happy! I wore Velvet Vanilla yesterday. It never, EVER, lets me down. I am so glad you love it too!
I wore velvet vanilla today for the first time, love love it! Hubs said it was nice….a couple hours later he said it was really pretty. Win! Buy it!
Yay!! So glad you found a love.
Thanks for your review. From Pierre Montale I discovered that there are 83 Mancera's and 150 Montales', I'm hoping Montale does sample sets too!
I bought 9 Mancera decants for my wife and.... Yeah..... Choco Violet was by far the most offensive of them all, to my nose. She's heading home from work now to check them all out. I bought
Holidays
Jardin Exclusif
Aoud Vanille

Same here. I been eyeing Juicy Flowers since I saw the new fragrance from Mancera website.
Just bought my first Mancera perfume (Holidays) thank to your recommandation - and I love it so much! Just up my alley!
Oh I love to hear that!!!
Jardin means garden. I'm sure you can see the similarity when you look at the words. As to how to pronounce it reasonably well... take "shar" from shard and combine it with "den" from denizen.

Love Mancera Holiday , but my favorite house is Parfume de Marly . Have you tried any of them ? I am in love with almost all the fragrances, and they last a long time . My favorites are all 3 Delinas , Cassili, and Meliora…💕
I have a sample of Herrod which I LOVE! I can't get into the Delina scents for some reason. I do want to try Safanad soon.
Try Aoud lemon mint. Its one of a kind and its not really lemony. The jasmine in the middle shines and it is a classy, fresh, and deep scent.
Aoud Vanille is my current favorite from Mancera, followed by Red Tobacco, and Cedrat Boise.
I need to try Aoud Vanille. I have used samples of Cedrat Boise, and I do love that one as well.
Beast mode 15h so loud vanilla ,bomb
Would love to see your ‘love these notes’ video! I would also love to see a ‘these are affordable perfumes that smell expensive’ type video!!
Also - do you have any Montale perfumes? I have intense cafe and it’s soooo good!!!
Thanks for the suggestions Rachelle! I only have intense cafe from Montale and then some sampler sets. :)
I've recently bought roses vanille and I absolutely love it.
That's a very pretty one!
What a great way to start my day, Mandy & coffee! Blessings.

My favorites are coco vanille...instant crush..roses vanille is a bomb...i also love intense cafe from Montale. Can you review them next?? Great review btw
I really want coco vanille. I have some decants and samples of the rest. I will add that to my list. :)
Try mancera Rose's vanille. And montale intense tiare. Both are beautiful
Thanks! I have Intense Cafe from Montale and I have always heard that and Roses Vanille are dupes, but I need to get a sample and see.
@@MandyDavisMUA ok. Try intense tiare. By montale. If u like mancera holidays u will love tiare. Those 2gether are BETTER than tom ford Solei Blanc:)
Thank you for the great video, So far I have tried choco Violette, which I like, and vanilla exclusive, Which I also like. I just ordered samples of holiday and velvet vanilla And I really look forward to getting them. I’ve been ordering my samples from Scent Split, they carry all of the Mancera perfumes and you can get them in 1 mil, 2 mil, 5 mil and 9 mil size samples. ! if I decide to buy a large bottle I will definitely use your link
Oh awesome! Thanks for sharing Gail!
I own Vanilla Exclusive as well and I love it. My first time I wore it in summer I was disappointed. However when I tried it during winter season I was amazed. I got 12 compliments everywhere I went that day.
Just received a bottle of Choco Violette and my wife LOVES it. Thank you for the recommendation
I love to hear that!! It's SOOO good!
Thank you Mandy… I think you just helped me decide which I’m going to sample --first velvet vanilla and choco Violet are definitely on top of the list. If you happen to read this comment could you please tell me what shade your eyeshadow is? I have similar coloring and would like a simple eye to do an all over color. It’s beautiful on you!😊❤️
You are so welcome! I can't remember exactly, but I am 90% sure that I was wearing the jane iredale blush in "Sheer Honey" on my eyes with a brown shadow as liner. That blush is one of my VERY favorite colors to use on my eyes. :)
I have your top 4 and I adore them too, my favourite is one that is very rarely talked about Aoud Black Candy. It’s liquorice heavy with a green salty twist so beware if that’s a deal breaker, I blind bought it because I was curious. I feel fierce when I wear it.
I also have wild cherry and agree with you on it as well. I have found a way to wear it that minimizes the cough syrup scent, yet still allows the cherry note to stay prominent. I go outside about 10 to 20 minutes before I have to leave the house, if I’m wearing it out. I spray about 3 sprays in a cloud downwards and in front of me then step into the fragrance cloud. I know it’s ridiculous, but I have a 120 ml bottle lol. I only wear it in late fall and winter because it’s way too strong in the heat.
Thank you for the tips on Wild Cherry...I will have to try a sample of the Aoud Black Candy for sure!
@@MandyDavisMUA Try mixing it with a sweet vanilla or tuberose too, I’ve even mixed it with choco violet and it’s been really yummy
I love roses greedy and Aoud orchid
Red Tobacco
2019 version of Black to Black
Choco Violette
Coco Vanille
Rose Vanille
Cedrat Boise
Instant Crush
Love them all. Getting more.
Coco Vanille is next on my list. I can't believe I don't have it!
When I first got Coco Vanille I sprayed 6 sprays forearms, neck and shirt. I go with Denise to the market 3 hours later and one of the butchers behind the meat counter said, “wow ! What is that perfume? It’s sweet like cotton candy. I love it!”
He was looking at Denise. She told him it was me. He and talked about it for awhile. He’s this big muscular retired Army veteran. I’m former Air Force. At the end of our conversation he asked me where I got it and how much.
This scent in my opinion is good by itself but a great one to blend as well. Super uncomplicated vanilla and coconut. I wear this to bed a lot. It’s a comforting scent. It would be interesting to see what Chad thinks of the scent trail you would leave behind in an outdoor situation.
You do such a superb job in describing these - I really want choc violet and velvet vanilla. Your makeup looks so stunning here - I hope you will do a tutorial on this look. LOVE.
Thank you so much! I will for sure do a tutorial on this look.
I love Mancera fragrances. I have tried Choco Violet, Coco Vanille. I want to try try several others. Thanks for the review.
You are so welcome!
My first time watching you. Thanks for not wasting time but getting right to the point. You are not flattering the perfumes, extra thanks for that!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!
I have 4 full bottles (your #2-4) and Roses Vanille. I think I’m going to have to try your #1. Roses Vanille is so beautiful…yes it is super similar to Intense Cafe but I still love having both. Thanks for this roundup. Can’t wait to try your favorite.
I still want Roses Vanille even though I have Intense Cafe too! I also have Tiziana Terenzi Delox which is also similar but the coffee note is a little more amped up.
@@coraw3942 I just got Delox. Couldn’t help myself 😂
You are so welcome! I have Intense Cafe as well, which is the only reason I haven't gotten Roses Vanille. They both smell so good!
The best form of expression on Mancera for woman, professional, honest and excellent English . KUDO to your video! Rose Vanille I found the main flower extremely synthetic, a big turn-off . To me , non-natural ingredients for parfum industry only work with lychee n all sugary notes ( gourmand) , no way flowers . This scent remains nice fragrance but cheap to me, kinda pillow/ bedroom spray quality. Does Velvet Vanilla share the same synthetic vibe in all flowers as the one I had ?
Thank you so much! I don't find Velvet Vanilla to be near as synthetic as some of the other ones I have tried....my nose REALLY loves it. xoxo
Love the Mancera...thank you for this video...please can you tell me what brand is your lipstick...LOVE it!!
Thanks so much for this review! I will definitely be getting the travel spray set! Do you know if Mancera will give you a discount if you order full sized bottles? You know how xerjoff gives you a credit from the trial size toward the purchase of a full size. Anyway I am new to your channel and you do a fantastic job of explaining the notes in detail! ♥️👌🔥
You are so welcome! To my knowledge, you don't get any kind of discount code with the travel set that other companies sometimes do. I didn't anyways. Thanks so much for watching!
@@MandyDavisMUA ok great thanks for getting back to me so soon. 😁
You got me into the Guerlain brand… now I’m going to have to go check out Mancera 😆.
LOL...it's a slippery slope when you start getting into fragrance.
Great video thank you! Absolutely love Mancera! Favorites are Roses Vanille & Sicily
Thank you Elizabeth!
Hola guapa, tengo muchos favoritos,entre ellos Coco vanille y tengo casi todos los que tienes tú, Mancera Pearl,me encanta.
The make up is stunning 🎉
Thank you so much!
Instant crush same vibes as kenzo world, chloe nomade - cookedbfruits and aromatics/ bit of wood
Recently got Cedrat Boise, it's just sublime, I love it. I see Black Vanilla is on sale but I'm really not sure as a blind buy, I hear the opening is very feminine
I also love Cedrat Boise. I have tried that since filming this video.
I just saw you yesterday on the live with Abby. I’m so glad I did! And I’m ordering the Choco Violet today. Well a sample of it first. Can’t wait to smell it. I’ve been looking for a violet scent. I’m not a huge lover of chocolate scents but I do want to at least smell this. It’s very intriguing as you talk about it. 😊
Oh yay!! Please let me know what you think of it!
Red Tobacco 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite is Hindu Kush...Choco Violet sounds amazing...I'm really loving chocolate fragrances right now.
I haven't tried Hindu Kush yet....I'll add that to my list. Thanks!
If you love choco than by Chocolate Greedy by montale..
It stayes for days!!
Grtz from Amsterdam
I literally watched a lot of videos to see what people compared the velvet vanilla to because I just knew I had it already and you hit it right on the money when you said Angelique noir!!!
Yes!! They are definitely not dupes, but they trigger the same "something" to my nose for sure!
Hey how are you?
Did you tried Feminity by Mancera?
Its my favorite from the house, there is something about it that i 🤍 LOVE so much!
Also the Tonka Cola, Coco Vanille, Amber Fever and Holiday i love so much.
Also didn't like Jardin Exclusif (sold mine)
Much love from Amsterdam 🌏🩷
I haven't tried that one, but I have it on my "to try" list and want to get my nose on it for sure. I have a decant of Tonka Cola and do enjoy that one too. xoxo
I've been waiting for this video. Thank you! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Choco Violet. I think it is my fav of all my perfumes. Smooth is the perfect word for it. Nothing harsh about it. I also LOVE LOVE Velvet Vanilla. I blind purchased both of these and so glad I did. My next will be Holidays.
Brenda, don’t you think Choco Violet more masculine than feminine? There are so many reviews saying that that I’m afraid to blind buy it and be disappointed. The only chocolate smell that I know and like is Prada Candy Night.
@@deiaasd I don't get that at all. I love it on my skin and so does my husband. But then I don't really think about masculine or feminine. I judge if I like it by how it smells on me. I haven't smells Prada Candy Night. That one probably isn't for me because of the Patchouli which gives me a headache. See if you can get a sample before you spend $$$ for a bottle. I did just blind buy Holidays and not quite sure how I feel about it. It doesn't smell like a vacation in a bottle on me. Someone said it smells like a Pina Colada and I don't get anything remotely like that on my skin LOL We shall see on that one.
@@brendaf1033 thank u so much for answering 🥰
@@deiaasd You are welcome. Let me know if you decide to get a sample and what are your thoughts.
So sorry the Holidays isn't working out for you. It's crazy how skin reacts differently to scents. But I am SO happy that you are loving the Choco Violet. It's so unique and I love it so much!
Great review on mancera perfumes
Dying to wear Red Tabacco, anything daring and strong is for me 😉
You would love it then!! I was just given a coupon code for twistedlily.com if you wanted to get a discount on it. :) MANDY10 for 10% off
These are new to me. I love ouds but also white florals lol- but not together. I have been looking for a return to the big scents of the 90's. Mancera looks very promising to me.
I think you would love them! Let me know if you end up trying anything from the line.
Red Tobacco is the best.💯👌🏾
I'd like to get Instant Crush and Choco Violet. Is the rose very prominent in Instant Crush? I'm not a rose fan. Thank you!
I am not a rose fan either and I don't find the rose to be too rosey if that makes sense. Hope this helps!
@@MandyDavisMUA I got my perfumes. I looooove Instant Crush and Choco Violette. They are beast and last til the next day even after I showered. The Chocolate Greedy is just okay, it's more powdery after 20 mintues and turned to a skin scent. The other 2 are back up bottle worthy. Thanks for your review!
"I'm from Nashville not France" I mean Epic take down! Lady, I'm Colombian raised in Jersey and I'm not from France either. I totally understand. LOL
LOL...there are just some things I will never be able to pronounce.
Please tell me is Choco violet more spring/summer or fall/winter fragrance?
For me, it is year round, but if you had to pick, I would say fall/winter.
I have been binge watching your fragrance videos. I love Mancera as well. I own 3 Holidays being my favourite and Velvet Vanilla next but mine does not have the magnetic lid. Lastly I really like Roses Vanille. So enjoyed this I need to purchase more I’m always researching them. So many to choose from. This helps
I have a sample of Roses Vanille...it's super similar to Intense Cafe from Montale which I have, so I haven't purchased that one yet, but I love the smell! Glad this was helpful!
Great review!!! Im just getting into Mancera and trying to see which I want next. Thanks for helping
You are so welcome!
Great video you answered most of my unasked question thanks but I was thinking you might mentioned cedriat Boise
I don't have that one, sorry!
Hi Mandy, in your opinion what would be the best Mancera Vanilla fragrance for a guy? I adore vanilla
If you like Patchouli, I would look into Royal Vanilla. I think you would love it!
Mind sharing what you have on your lips in this video?
Awesome review/round up. I've really gotten into fragrance in the past year. Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews is such a nice channel.
Sure! It's the jane iredale play on lip color in Saucy and the jane iredale gloss in Soft Peach. He really does have a great channel...lots of great information!
Hi!🙂 I just found your channel today and I was watching a different video But I saw the Bible verse come out in your intro and I had to take a double take because I have that verse as a tattoo!! LOVE THAT!! I was curious if it came out in other videos which it did! Thats so awesome!! So I had to subscribe! Looking forward to watching your content! This video especially caught my eye. 😉
Oh I love this...thank you so much!
Please tell me is Velvet vanilla all year around perfume, or just for warm weather?
Velvet Vanilla is year round for me.
@@MandyDavisMUA ok, thank you very much.
Hey Mandy!! I purchased Holidays and love it but not sure why it doesn't last that long on me. But that's ok... it's so good. Not Mancera but finally tried Ellis B Salt and Myth. OMG LOVE!
Oh that's a bummer! I haven't tried salt, but I want to try it. I have BEE from Ellis B and LOVE it!
Surprised that cedrat Boise isn’t on here but I will be looking into getting samples on the ones that got my attention from your description. Thanks 🙂
I don't have that one, but I know it is well loved.
Have you’ve tried Lemon mint Mancera? I’m mainly a 1 or 2 fragrance person and I only buy cheapies, but I found expensive ones are way more worth it to purchase 1 or 2 then 5 cheap ones. I’m a guy btw just for reference on lemon mint
I have and it wasn't my fave, but that is probably because I am not a huge citrus person. I know a ton of people love it, and if you are a freshie lover, you would likely really enjoy it.
@@MandyDavisMUA awesome, thank you :)
I purchased choco violet directly from the Mancera website because it sounded so good but it makes me nauseous for some reason :(
Sorry to hear that.
I love Red Tobacco!
It's so good!!
Hi Mandy, can I ask you what nail polish are you wearing.? Thank you 😊
Hi there! I wish I could remember. I get dip manicures, and I rarely pay attention to the brand or color name. So sorry!
Is Choco Violet for both genders?
Recently received instant crush, I absolutely love it ❤ thanks bought it after watching your review
Oh yay! So glad you love it!
Yeeees!! At first sniff i thought this would be my signature scent! ☺️ Need to sub now 🤭😍
What would?
Did anyone ever tell you that you look a lot like Busy Philipps? Am I the only one? :D Was just watching a movie with her in it, and immediately thought of you
I have heard that from two other people. I have heard her and Priscilla Presley (pre surgery) the most.
How do you order from selfridges I thought they only deliver to UK
They deliver internationally and if you pay $55/year you get free shipping on all purchases to the states.
the first time you said "Jardin" you pronounced it perfectly (spanish for "garden")
Thank you!
Omg Black Vanilla on my skin lasts my whole work shift. The only mancera that doesn’t last for me, is Amber Fever, I spray it and literally in 20 minutes, it’s gone.
I so wish Black Vanilla lasted on me. I had a sample of Amber Fever, and I do remember having that same issue. I love the smell but it didn't have that Mancera longevity for me.
Great video, may I ask what kind of lipstick do you wear here? It looks beautiful 👍
Thank you! This is actually a gloss from jane iredale that has been sadly discontinued.
I just bought instant crush, it’s ok I wear it both seasons summer and winter?
For sure! You wear what you want, when you want. I think it would be great in all seasons.
Thanks for da reply.🙏
Mancera are better than perfumes like prada, dior, narciso rodriguez that we can find at sephora ?
They aren't necessarily better as in how they smell...that will just come down to personal preference. But I do find they last longer overall.
@@MandyDavisMUA that what i notice they smell very longer compare to sephora perfumes
I have Instant crush and been looking for a beast mode fragrance to add to my collection.
Would you say choco violet is beast mode? The notes sound so interesting, but I wonder if thats a safe blind buy lol😂 also ‘the aoud’ and ‘gold intensitive aoud’ sound interesting…
I think if you spray a good bit of it, it definitely could be for sure. It is so beautiful!
I purchased chocolate vanille straight from Mancera website and didn't like it. It makes me nauseous for some reason
I need one that's flowery and summery. Most of these are heavy
I feel like Mancera as a whole is a pretty heavy house. Holidays is summery, but not so much floral.
I hope you would also do Montale one of these days. My Mancera faves are:
Velvet Vanilla
Roses Vanille
Choco Violette
Instant Crush
Gold Prestigium
Red Tobacco
Holidays
Pearl
Musky Garden
Purple Flowers
Amber Fever
Musk of Flowers
I only have Velvet Vanilla and my most expensive perfume is Angelica Noir by Guerlain and I can see how you can say they are similar but not really. AN smells amazing on clothes. It’s a great vanilla and Mancera Velvet Vanilla lasts forever on my skin but it just never felt complete. The dry down is so delicious but the other day I ordered Geneva Chocolate by Belayered and with my MACERA velvet Vanilla it kicks it up a notch. The dry down smells like this smoky dusty chocolate that I want to lick my arm. Lol.
Sounds delish!
Have u tried monatle intense tiare yet? Where did u get the 5 travel spray set? A
Saks? Lmk. Thx!
I haven't..I need to look into that. I got the travel set from the Mancera website. :)
@@MandyDavisMUA thank u so much for responding!!
I wonder where Aoud Vanille fits into your rankings of Mancera collection?
I don't have that one, but I want it!
Great video Mandy :-))) I have not tried this brand yet!! The Holiday sent i think i would try first :-)) oxoxox
Thanks Linda!
I would LOVE if you would review Jo Malone ❤️
Thanks for the suggestion Susannah! I have a couple of their fragrances. I want to get some of the newer, more intense versions.
New sub here! I'm gonna get a sample set! You look so pretty and id LOVE to know EVERY product and the colors you're wearing here...if you have the time and remember! 😂We have similar coloring and I need this makeup look!
Thank you so much! I can't remember everything, but I know the blush is jane iredale "Sheer Honey". That is also all I have on my eyes. And if I remember correctly, I am wearing the jane iredale liquid minerals topped with their purepressed base, their bronzer and their shadow in "allure" as my highlight. :)
Ok you’ve sold me on your top 2
