Fresh Floral Vanilla
I really enjoyed my decant. This fragrance is a burst of fresh airy fruit in the opening. The heart is a lovely mysterious floral bouquet that sharpens the focus and leads to a flowery creamy bed of vanilla. Not overly gourmand but something more elegant and flirty. A bright yet sensual floral vanilla great for daily wear.

I find it a pity that some are so negative here... but everything is a matter of taste, one appeals to the scent and the other just not . I find the scent has something fresh and clean-feminine , when I wear the and after half an hour come back to my office it smells very tasty, like a very good and expensive candied French treat , my colleagues like the scent when they come to my office, the hold up longer .... Scent lasts well and lets the rose come to the fore a bit but such a fresh wild grown over which you have poured coconut milk and lightly powdered over with some good vanilla. Is for me a feminine cuddly fragrance with good recognition effect, a few sprays are enough. I like it and Black stands for me not necessarily as dark but as an "uncolor" can be any direction , light clear and pure , or very dark deep mysterious seductive , depends on the woman who wears it and what else she wears , nice golden bag as packaging . I have received positive feedback when I wear it therefore for me a good purchase decision.

Why so underrated?
I think the fragrance is somewhat underrated here. The name says it all. To me, it smells like dark vanilla. I don't notice anything fruity like peach or stewed fruit. Coconut is also barely perceptible here.
I find a solid, beautiful and above all long-lasting vanilla fragrance. Not too gourmand, not too youthful. Just right for me. Wearable in everyday life as well as when going out. Although it would be rather too boozy for partying.
Like all Manceras, I find the bottle beautiful and of high quality. I love this dark bottle with golden details.
For me as a gourmand lover, it hit the mark.

Compliments guarantee
The first time I smelled Mancera's Black Vanilla was in a department store near Stuttgart, where they have almost all the varieties of this brand. I must have tested 15 Manceras, but one kept poking me in the nose. I kept smelling the back of my hand. It started off slightly peachy with a vanilla-coconut cream note. There's something special about it that I can't quite identify. The development of the fragrance towards a rich vanilla with the other notes in the background takes quite a long time, the longevity on my skin is out of this world. The sillage too, you definitely stand out - in a positive way. Mancera Black Vanilla is the fragrance that has earned me the most compliments by far. I remember at my employer's Christmas party, I was asked more than 10 times that evening whether I smelled so good. Another moment that is etched in my memory was when I was on a weekend trip with my friends in Prague. Two of my colleagues ordered this fragrance straight away after the first evening. They didn't let up until I told them the name of the perfume. The next day, we explored Prague's nightlife and ended up at Carbaret. Very beautiful women were dancing "lightly" clothed and we watched the show with interest. It was a Thursday, the place doesn't get really full until the weekend, we were sitting in the front line and during the break in the show two of these lovely ladies came up to me and my buddy. And it had to come as it must, we got talking and the lady asked me what kind of perfume I was wearing. And she also ordered it online on her cell phone, which she had conjured up from somewhere. I've never experienced anything like that before, but it was definitely funny. Situations like that burn themselves into your memory. And I have to say, I always get compliments when I apply the fragrance. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful Mancera perfumes and one with the most beautiful vanilla note. Flies completely under the radar. Try it out, you won't regret it.

A feast for the nose
When the initially very fruity scent hit my nose for the first time, I was blown away. The development towards a vanilla bomb is a picturesque journey, like through a candy factory. This fragrance is simply outstanding. I am blown away by this sugar sweet scent. A real magnet for chaiyas, I can guarantee you that.
