I’m Not That Kind of Person …
that likes green vanilla. No sweetheart, I need that sugary, sweet, turbo vanilla that you can smell from 100 kilometers away!
At least that’s what I thought before I had this beautiful little scent under my nose. Man, is it good!
I let myself be influenced a bit by the lovely Anna and her review of the fragrance and I have to say, I was not disappointed at all.
The scent consists solely of vanilla orchid but smells so wonderfully layered, complex, so perfectly not too sweet, green, delicate, enveloping vanilla, that I haven’t been able to get my nose off my wrist for the past 3 hours.
Never thought it, and yet found it so perfect!

Seduction of the Highest Class
Kiss me! Kiss me with everything you have to offer. Feel free to kiss me every day, you beautiful, creamy, boozy masterpiece.
Wow! Completely blown away by this amazing creation. I keep my nose on my wrist the whole time. Dreamy beautiful.
Creamy musk jasmine. Slightly fruity cranberry and plum with a boozy hint of absinthe (light woodruff vibes).
When the vanilla and delicate tonka bean come through in the dry down, the fragrance is seduction at the highest level. Incredibly good.
H/S maybe not the absolute best, but that doesn't take anything away from the fragrance.

Hold on, Stop!
A little influenced by a lovely perfume influencer, I thought I’d give this one a try.
First sniff, clearly aftershave, shaving lotion. “Puh no, darling, this one is more for you” - “Hey! Hold on! Let’s just take a moment here!”
Dear ladies, hang in there if you think it’s too masculine.
You will be rewarded with airy, powdery freshness and comfort.
Lavender and vanilla in the most beautiful, purest, and freshest form.
A bit of fresh laundry and fabric softener vibes, but in a lovely and pleasant way.
The only downside is the longevity. With many fragrances, I don’t even mind if the sillage isn’t the strongest as long as the longevity is right. Here, however, it could definitely be a bit more, because the scent itself is really worth it.
I smell the fragrance very intensely for about 3-4 hours. After that, unfortunately, it fades quite a bit.
Despite everything, definitely worth a try!

Are you THE Fig Scent?
First of all: No, it is not BUT that doesn't mean this little gem isn't a wonderful fragrance.
I am currently testing various offerings from the brand Profumum Roma and came across Ambrosia. A lovely perfumer included this scent as a little extra and I tested it before the actual fragrance.
The scent opens with a fig that is not overpowering. Pear lingers delicately in the background.
In the dry down, there is light sandalwood and gentle almond, which remains until the end.
The beauty of this fragrance is that you can really smell each individual note. Everything harmonizes very well together. The scent is neither overwhelming nor too sticky. A few spritzes are enough to perceive the fragrance all day long.
Is it THE fig scent for me? No, but as I said, it definitely deserves a little review.

From Cola Bottles and Tonka Beans
First of all, don't worry, the scent won't make you smell like an overly sweet and walking cola bottle all day!
I have to say, I’ve tried quite a few fragrances by now; sure, I’m definitely no pro when it comes to sniffing, but I must say I’ve never smelled anything so cool and unique.
With "Tonka Cola | Mancera," everything is just right! The first spray is definitely cola, cherry cola, cherry cola with a tiny slice of lemon.
After a little while, I no longer perceive the cherry as strongly. It has given way to the tonka bean, which now proudly displays its splendor. Accompanied by a hint of cola and a delicious pinch of cinnamon. Together, it’s mega good! With the nutmeg (which I can definitely smell), it’s the perfect blend.
Sillage and longevity are perfectly fine. Not beast mode with 10-12 hours, but easily 6 hours on the clock.
Clearly, a unique and successful little fragrance.
