So far, I haven't had any connection to Mancera fragrances and found many too simple or with off-notes that developed on my skin. I received Black Vanilla as a sample, found it good on the skin, and sprayed it on my clothes on my left shoulder and then forgot about it. Again and again, a wonderful scent wafted into my nose, making me constantly wonder what it was. Meanwhile, I had tested at least four other fragrances on different spots on my underarms (my sample order had arrived), but it wasn't any of those. None of them smelled like that. And yet, this lovely sweet vanilla scent kept coming back to my nose. As the evening went on, I remembered Black Vanilla again and was very impressed. It had good longevity on my clothes, but could be better on the skin.
