MANCERA Roses Greedy Eau de Parfum

This perfume is a safe "crowd-pleaser": you get noticed, it is not boring nor similar to anything else. You can really stand out of the crowd. I Think it is safe blind buy as well, both for those who like rose and those who really don't care about the rose (like me).

For me this is a White-floral category scent: yes, you get a rose, but it is so gentle and almost innocent. Then you get some soft and feminine jasmine in the background (I hate jasmin after wearing Serge Lutens A la nuit). I feel the blackcurrant which gives a bit of zingy feeling to the scent. It is absolutely Beautiful, sensitive fragrance, very office friendly as well. Great longevity as well.

It reminds me of the latest Burberry London scent, but more round, soft and gentle. While BL can cost you 25€ and Mancera 80€, I would still prefer Mancera.

People need to get their noses checked! The only common thing Greedy Roses has with Roses musk is that both have the same perfumer, P.Montale. Other than that Greedy Roses is a beautiful fruity floral creation that shares common traits with Dior's J'adore and Juicy Couture, only that GR is rounder, well-balanced and more refined. No one will get offend even if your overspray(HUGE LASTING POWER+PROJECTION), on the contrary, you will make your presence noticeable in the most elegant, feminine and playful way. Crazy compliment getter.
Roses Greedy could easily become a best-seller- its beautiful.

A sweet, jammy rose on steroids... and I love it. This was a rare love-at-first-sniff, and from a blind buy, no less, after reading all the reviews here.
I wouldn't call this fragrance particularly complex, but such a beauty doesn't have to be. The word that comes to mind when I put this on is "exuberant." Obviously rose is the star, and it's the prettiest rose on its rosiest day, anchored by musk and amber, and a hint of vanilla. I also can detect the blackcurrant in this... I think it's what lends some of the sweet jamminess. The base notes never take over, they just hold the balloon string in the background. Somehow there is also a sharp alcohol-y edge (not in an unpleasant way) that reminds me of Not a Perfume by Juliette Has a Gun. Must be ambrox... ISO E Super? It lends a bit of bite to this otherwise very sweet and round perfume. However, that note in particular reacts differently with everyone's chemistry, making me wonder how this smells on others.

I wore this to a brunch on Sunday and a man I know exclaimed how good I smelled, and actually came back to give me a hug so he could smell me again. "Smell her!" he directed everyone at the table. It made me laugh, and I was reminded what a pleasure it is to wear a smell you honestly love that others also enjoy because it really works with your chemistry. This is that scent for me. I can see this becoming a signature scent - it's already a star in my collection.

*edited to add: this smells so extremely similar to Montale's Roses Musk. It makes sense since Pierre Montale nosed them both. This is exactly the same rose but RM is - surprise - slightly more musky.

First things first, the bottle is amazing! Very high quality packaging, I love that.

The smell is very floral fruity gourmand, but not like your usual cheap smelling mass production floral fruity ( Prada Candy, latest releases from Gucci, any type of celebrity perfumes which are great air fresheners, or Victoria Secrete perfumes which are even more cheaper kind of air fresheners etc ). No, this is a very sophisticated Floral Fruity Gourmand. You don't smell much rose in here, but more of a Jasmine mixed with vanilla, amber and musk. It's quite long lasting, even for me because my skin eats perfume in minutes, any perfume, but this one I can hold for about 2-3 hours on my wrist ( other perfume is less than an hour, even the niche kind ).

My first impressions of this perfume is that it reminded me a bit of the first Juicy Couture perfume, but more fruity and sensual, not as harsh as Juicy. But I've noticed this with other Mancera perfumes, in the beginning they remind you of something, but after several days of use you realize that they are a completely incredible perfumes and nothing resembles their smells. I've had that impression with Roses Vanille ( by Mancera ) in the beginning as well, then I just fell head over heels in LOVE with it and it became my signature, just gorgeous smell.

I live in US so these are hard to find, I found a couple of websites and I've been ordering from them( which are much more expensive than they usually are ) . I intend to collect most of the Mancera line, I already have three perfumes by them and ordered blind, loved all three, and now ordering my second bottle of Roses Vanille.

Mancera definitely is a very strong house, I have a feeling once more people discover this brand, it will become way more popular and more expensive.

I love Mancera more than Montale, I've tried several Montale fragrances and they just didn't do anything for me, and I had no staying power from Montale. But Mancera, just WOW!

Wow! This really hit my brain while I was at Exsence 2013, so you figure out how many great perfumes I had around. No matter, Roses Greedy won over many!
I didn't expect such a rich note list because it smells very balanced and very well blended. Of course, it smells rose most of all, but it's such a divine fresh-cut sensual and even spiritual rose!
Nothing like any other typical musty rose-scent or too fresh summer rose, this is THE ROSE for modern demanding yet romantic times.
I kept sniffing my hand all the time and I was in a bliss. Long lasting too, quite radiant but never invadent.
