Roses Greedy
Roses Greedy by Mancera is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with mandarin, peach, coconut and blackcurrant, moves into rose, jasmine and watery notes and dries down to amber, vanilla, white musk and benzoin. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Watery Notes A clear, wet freshness. Less salty than a sea note.
Dry-down
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
