Rose Gourmand by Zara is an exact dupe for Rose's Vanille from Mancera and a fraction of the cost. But the next level up, price wise, is Florence by Swiss Arabian. I would go with either of those or the actual thing.
I agree, Roses Vanille is not like Delina exclusif. I have both and I love them both, but they are maybe cousins, not sisters. I have a decant of Intense Cafe and I agree Roses Vanille is a sister to Intense Cafe, almost a twin. As for Florence, thank you for reviewing it- I don't have it but have been wondering if I should buy.
Ok I just put that on. That's my sotd. Thank you!!!! 😘. Yeah I need shaghaf oud. It gives me surge of energy lol. These 3 are so mellow, I lose energy from talking about them
I have Intense Cafe and Florence, and they definitely smell very similar. And yes, I find that both Mancera and Montale lines have a synthetic smell that makes me think they are a bit overpriced, imo
I have both Roses Vanille and Intense cafe. They smell almost the same but i do love Intense Cafe a little more. Roses Vanille for fall and Intense Cafe for winter since its more stronger and more long lasting. In Roses Vanille i dont smell beer but what I do smell is cognac. I smell roses, cognac and vanilla. In Intense Cafe its the same like Roses Vanille only that in that one you can smell a little coffee note. But i love them both and will always have bith in my collection. Thanks for the comparison
Yw dear. Interesting...yeah I can smell cognac. Bitter boozy and sharp. I mentioned I enjoy it during warm weather... Try that, I don't find it cloying
I’m glad you mentioned the comparison of roses vanille vs intense cafe .. because I’m a coffee addict and I get absolutely no coffee in intense cafe lol .. straight sugary roses with vanilla. I love it!
How's the Florence performance compared to Shagaf Oud and Casablanca? Between Casablanca, Shagaf Oud and Florence, which one smells better also perform better?
All great performance 😊. Casablanca If you like apple juice with oud Between shaghaf and Florence, I prefer Florence. Both are rose. Shagaf I find it harder to wear unless special occasion
@@Olliesmom thank you for the info. Just placed an order for Florence and hopefully I don't regret it. Personally I think Casablanca smells better and easier to wear compared to Shagaf Oud, but again I like loud perfume. 😅
I have Florence and intense cafe so I get the chemical smell you are talking about. Do you think the Casablanca has that same chemical smell or is it different?
I love Benlenciage Flora Botanica. It’s a beautiful rose fragrance .You should try it. Great silage and projection. 👍🏻👍🏻Notes: Carnation, Wild Mint, Turkish Rose Essence, Hemp Leaves, Vetiver Roots, White Amber.
I love Roses Vanille, I also have Delina Exclusif which I love, but they don't smell the same at all. But they layer very well. Also Roses Vanille with Nina Ricci L'extase rose absolue layers very well
Roses Vanille has been on my mind nonstop and this video was helpful and I completely agree with that synthetic plastic note, I get that a lot in Montale too, but I can sometimes ignore that note in Mancera, it depends
Have Mancera roses vanille and SA Florence. You're right!! Florence n Mancera roses vanille do smell very alike,lol! I actually couldn't understand why Florence smelled so familiar...you solved that💕👌
spot on here with your review...totally agree...mancera totally does have that plastic hint throughout the range but not offensive..fab video thank you♡
