Mancera
Black Vanilla by Mancera is a milky floral vanilla that soothes rather than challenges, which is exactly what we all need every now and then. Soft hints of blackcurrants, coconut, and peach cast a gauzy veil of fruit over the vanilla accord, itself sheer and barely sweet, like coconut milk put through a milk frother. The juicy berries and peach lend a discreetly flirtatious vibe, but in general, the lack of syrupy sweetness marks this out as a refined, grown up vanilla scent.
In time, a powdery rose emerges from the peachy, berried vanilla froth, creamy puffs of jasmine petals and candied violet trailing soon after. The florals, diffused in an enormous cloud of soapy white musk, feel more like a swirl of expensive cosmetic powder than freshly cut flowers, giving the scent a distinctly clean, feminine vibe. In terms of sillage and longevity, Black Vanilla lasts the day, but is soft rather than loud.
Despite the name, therefore, Black Vanilla is truly a perfect fragrance for days when you need your scent to stay low key but still smell amazing. Gently feminine, its cluster of powdery flowers, musk, and lightly frothed vanilla coconut milk feels more like a perfect veil of milky, floral lotion rather than a full on perfume.

I actually used my points to get a second atomizer of this scent. Very vanilla but a clean dry vanilla. Soft and feminine. I'm in love.
Fantastic. Great unusiex fragrance for men's as it's sweet but also masculine
Wasn't one of my favorites, but I'm glad I got to try it. Can't put my finger on what it was I didn't care for
I did not like this at all. I get mostly sweet powdery florals. I normally like florals, but not these. I just get a headache from it. I wouldn't call this a gourmand. The vanilla isn't warm and creamy. However, it's super strong and lasts a long time, so that's a plus if you like it.
This might be one of my favorite I have gotten!
Subtle not strong, but pleasant smell
Delicious with some fruity notes that smell a bit like lychee to me!
I think this is a beautiful scent. It’s vanilla forward without being sickening sweet. I just wish the longevity was there.
very vanilla, its smokey and calm. kind of sweet but not heavy. I like it, it doesn't smell gross when it settles into like fabric
Second time getting this. My teenage daughter love it. Is just perfect for young people not to strong and last a good time.
I had to fan the areas I sprayed on me because it was so strong, but after the smell settled it turned lovely. You can smell the vanilla for sure.
Strong spice with a hint of fruitiness.
This is very pleasant.
I love the smell of vanilla
Very vanilla smelling. Didn't love it didn't hate it.
This one is not my fav…I thought it would be gourmand and sweet but it’s more woody.
I absolutely love this fragrance! The deep smell of vanilla is mesmerizing!
I did not like this. This is the last Mancera fragrance I try. They all have this super weird note that ruins the whole thing and I can’t figure out what it is. It’s a very synthetic overly sweet note that doesn’t fit (and I LOVE sweet).
It’s sweet first spray as it drys down its vanilla and floral very strong powdery but very nice after sprayed my wrist and I could smell for while
I love the smell and it last for me.
Personally not my style. Very strong and clean ,soapy smelling. I was hoping more of a spicy vanilla smell. It smells very much like a floral mix.
Scent is warm and cozy. Lasted all day. Got lots of compliments
I love a good vanilla & this is a good one! Nice light vanilla good layering fragrance. I can smell the vanilla off the top, after 5mins it dries down into a rose/powder scent which is still nice just not the notes I was really hoping to smell. I'm still searching for a good peachy , fruity scent. This is can layer so I consider it a great scent for that!
I love! It’s not straight vanilla but if you love vanilla you will love this - great night time fragrance
If you like musky vanilla this one is definitely for you. I enjoyed wearing this scent.
It’s pretty but very powdery. Def get all the flowers in there, and sweet (but lite) vanilla. Personally, I’m not big on the powdery scents, so this one isn’t for me.
Smells like old lady to me
Not what I was expecting, but I really like it. It is on my top list of scents I've received.
A sweet, floral bomb of a fragrance that lasts a long time on skin. The jasmine, rose, and violet comes through whereby the musk never rears its head, or at least the way in which I expected.
I love this scent!
I didn’t know I was a vanilla fan until this fragrance. I really truly enjoyed wearing this. I wasn’t sure what I was getting with the first initial sprays but I fell in love in the dry down. The performance was excellent. This was very long lasting on me and I got compliments! I immediately tried to buy the big bottle but it wasn’t available on this site so I went to Fragrance.net. I bought the big bottle and it arrived in 3 days. It smells even better from the bottle than the atomizer. 4 out of 5.
I really like it.. One of my favorite ones I tried so far
I normally like most vanilla fragrances. However, This one seemed a bit too mature for my liking.
smells amazing but the vanilla is overwhelming.
I'm loving this from one spray. If you're a fan of vanilla this is for you.
The vanilla is overwhelming. I thought it smelled like women's perfume.
Solid 4. I really like this one. Florally vanilla, not too sweet.
Loved this fragrance!
I am obsessed with anything vanilla so I had to try this one! It is absolutely delicious, I am 100% buying the full size bottle! This is definitely signature scent worthy! If you love vanilla, you will love love love this one!
Very strong and long lasting I would not bye the big bottle
This is the best vanilla scent. It's not a super sweet vanilla its very warm. Comparable to the Billie Eilish scent.
Nice warm scent, but I prefer cocoa vanille
a soft vanilla that is builable & somewhat long lasting
Smells great, lasts forever
I would describe it as a peppery spicy vanilla. It’s real nice but it’s not an everyday perfume. You have to be in the mood to wear this and it leans towards a night time fragrance. It’s one of those perfumes that smell better the longer you wear it.
Love this!!! This is the vanilla I crave and cannot get enough of! I would definitely buy a full size bottle of this myself, and I would strongly recommend this scent to any vanilla lover!
Not for me
Initial spray has a hint of vanilla with flowers. Dries down to 98% floral, 2% vanilla IMO. I can't imagine any man wanting to smell like this. I barely do. I prefer a gourmand scent, and have always been a huge fan of vanilla. This fragrance is not gourmand, nor vanilla. It's pure floral. It's been on my wrists a few hours now, I still smell it but I did reapply just to examine the initial wet fresh spray scent again. Nope, still floral! If you like floral, this could be for you.
This makes me smell positively edible!
Smells very perfumy at first then settles into a warm vanilla scent that lasts for awhile
Nothing of what was described in many reviews. I was excited to try this because it was a dry down of vanilla cake and I did not get any Gourmand or anything similar.
Love it
LOVE IT! I want this as one of my Signature Scents...seriously. It's a warm, vanilla fronted scent that is reminiscent of sensual, humid nights with your lover...dripping fruit juices on each other and licking it up. Or languishing on a tropical beach at night, drinking fruit juices from coconuts as the vanilla-violet breeze blows through your hair. Definitely for a more sophisticated woman. A warm, creamy, vanilla flavor, tempered with juicy fruits and light florals, making feel accessible but still rich. Recommend 10/10
Wow, this is warm and exotic and vanilla done right. It's not overly sweet and it's definitely sexy!
I love this scent, to me it's a warm vanilla scent, and its so yummy. Its like walking into a bakery on a cool day.
Nice vanilla powdery scent love it
Love the scent!! Very sweet and sensual
Musky sweet smell
Very soft and it doesn't last
My favorite so far! Getting a big bottle
Smells great
Woodsy scent that dries down fresh and almost powdery. It’s beautiful!
more like a perfume than a cologne, lasts very long tho
Really great sultry deep smelling fragrance!
Smells amazing
It was too strong for me. I usually love scents with vanilla, but this one just didn't work for me. Gave it to a friend who loved it.
This is a long lasting classic fragrance, it has a beautiful well rounded vanilla scent and really wears well.
Gorgeous scent!! Almost perfect ??
I really love this fragrance. It for sure has a baby powder/vanilla tone to it. So if you don't care for that combo, you will hate this one. I however, do love those scents. It last me for the entire day with just two small sprays. I have gotten tons of complements from the ladies. Would recomend
Love it! My new go to fragrance! Sweet and not too strong but stays with me all day.
Very unique. I don't like much vanilla flavoured scent but this one is great. Not very lasting though. Scent was gone after an hour
Vanilla and powdery scent
A different scent than i have smelled, but I like it. The vanilla part is not overwhelming. Not overly sweet.
Too strong
I don't know why really but I don't care for this scent.
My first return... I just couldn't do it. At times I would get a whiff of a sweet vanilla, but other times I would get a sunscreen smell.
Long lasting but a bit too powdery for me. Gives me a headache after a bit unfortunately.
Love this fragrance. I have received so many compliments. It is soft and sits close to the skin but when warm leaves a nice soft vanilla fragrance in your wake.
Smells good but a little strong for my taste
I love it, it’s sort of like a floral vanilla combo.
It smelt nice but wasn't quite what you want to smell like, it was almost like a light chocolate smell
I love this fragrance. It's the perfect vanilla.
Probably the best scent I’ve gotten so far. It’s a beautiful vanilla with a heavier almost woody note. It lasts fairly long too. Happy to add to my collection.
Deliciosa aroma que me encanto digamos que adicta el olfato ..es una deliciosa sensación de relax
Sweet powdery vanilla scent that is long lasting. I’ll use to layer. I’ve worn it twice alone and the complexity comes out more when it’s on my skin.
love the smell
This is VERY vanilla forward. At first, it seemed very youthful, almost too much so. When it's on your skin, you can smell the beautiful complex notes.
It’s smells okay but it’s not all that it’s kinda strong to me the smell doesn’t last long
Smells like weird cheap gummy candy with vanilla on top
It's warm . But also smells very delicious.
Love the fragrance, lasts quite awhile.
Overall a good smell. It’s a little strong on the violet and smells a bit like alcohol, especially when first applied but really settles out to a nice sweetness throughout the day
A little "old lady", as some would say, but I love older scents, this one included. It's warm and inviting.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE VANILLA! In a pleasant way though it’s very unique I actually had to try it a few times before I came to the conclusion I like it! Longevity is amazing.
Warm and spicy. A perfect winter scent. Dries down to a wonderful warm scent. Starts off strong and more masculine. Wasn't sure at first but ended up really liking it.
I really liked this scent. However it did not last very long as i would have hoped.
It’s not bad but nothing special. Kinda basic
While I actually liked the fragrance on initial test, and my husband and mother also rated their favorite out of the 3 I ordered, it gave me a terrible headache. I had to take a shower within 45 minutes to try and ease the discomfort. But saying that, even after a shower I had a hint of musky vanilla lingering which was quite pleasant. Had it not caused such a strong reaction I would have loved it.
Some kind of smell that I couldn't handle I'm not very picky either :( I didn't get vanilla.
The most complimented scent I've worn from scent box.
Spicy long lasting scent gives a feeling of warmth on a cold winter's day
A basic but nice scent. I don't love it but I'm not disappointed either.
I actually loved this smell on my husband. He smells like home when wearing it. Very comforting.
Smells a bit cheap and like something I would have worn in high school. Not my favorite
I received so many compliments on this fragrance!!! It’s one I plan on purchasing soon!
I love Vanilla but this was way too strong...
way too strong and masculine
This is the best vanilla perfume I've ever smelled! It's not too perfumie, but at the same time has the hint of perfume. It's soft but lasts all day long. The floral in this isn't as strong as the vanilla, and its not over powering. It smells clean,yummy, and sexy. I will be buying some of this soon. A new favorite for sure!
I love the subtlety and longevity of this fragrance.
May be considered a younger perfume. It is like a floral vanilla. Good for everyday or to stash in your purse!
One of my favorites so far!
this one smells good but its super strong. usually i like strong perfumes but this one is overbearing
Very powdery. Not much of a vanilla scent at all on me. Smelled very...old lady.
Softer vanilla scent, not bad but not my favorite
POWERFUL. would be amazing if it didn't have such an intensity
It smells of vanilla baked goods. Great for a younger person or anyone fond of sweet grandmotherly fragrances.
Too overpowering. Gave me a headache
One of my favorites
LOVE the smell.. although my 8 year old snatched it lol!!
Literally lasts all day! I love it
I love it! Lasts all day. Not overbearing.
I love this. It smells like a cotton candy cupcake on me!
I did not love this scent..the smell of Musk was too strong.
Beautiful sent the notes are very delightful and I’m happy with this purchase.
This scent is great! It’s sweet but still has that warm smell that vanilla gives off without being over powering
Not my scent
Smells like doll heads.
This has become my absolute favorite and I WILL be purchasing a full bottle. Has stayed on when out all night and through concerts! The perfect balance of peach and vanilla.
Remimds me of cotton candy
Holy moly. When I sprayed it, The only thing that would come to mind is a Baby Wipe. This fragrance is just not for me.
If you love vanilla, when I first sprayed it I wasn't sure on the scent but after a couple mins it's wonderful.
It smells very nice but unfortunately it has an ingredient that I’m allergic to because it gave me a rash around my neck and arms.??
This definitely is more masculine and I donr get vanilla at all, its strong and a little nauseating
One of best scent ever...….absolutely love this
I don't like this smell. To much vanilla but the background smell is great.
Smells good, lasts a couple hours, but not sure if it’s a must have for me.
Overall has a sexy vanilla floral scent. Not overpowering. Something you’d wear on date night
Very woodsy vanilla. Strong.
It's okay. A little musky for my liking but it's not a bad scent
I'd prefer the vanilla to be stronger but overall I like it.
Love this perfume! Smells amazing!
one of my favorite scents i have received. I got so many compliments when wearing it. loved that it was a nice mix between a feminine and masculine scent, leaned more to the feminine side but still musky enough that it wasn't too much for my liking.
The vanilla scent is to strong for me, I was hoping to like it but no.
Smells really nice. The actual bottle runs for $160 though, so that changes things. :(
don't care for it at all!!
A lovely scent, but it reminded me of the hair grease blue magic. Very disappointed I wanted to really like this scent.
It smells like more of a scent for an older person.
Has a hint of vanilla, but hated the smell.
Love this scent! Warm and subtlety sweet! At first when putting on it does seem a bit strong scent wise, but I feel like it dries down quickly and beautifully, and the scent really lasts.
Love it
The vanilla scent is too strong. I’m not a fan.
Smells decent a little sweet. I let my younger daughter wear it since it was a little too sweet and sugary smelling.
Absolutely love. definitely leans a little bit more masculine but 100% I'd wear it daily if my fiance didn't want to. Lovely vanilla scent but definitely has like a deeper almost "musky" scent somewhere in the background. Seemed to last longer on him than it did me so not sure if I just got more accustomed to it but definitely would repurchase.
It’s a regular vanilla scent. Nothing too wonderful about it. It kinda feels a little like air refresher to me.
Yum! This is a sexy, sophisticated vanilla, with a little edge. I think this is one of my favorite Vanilla perfumes. It's an interesting blend, and has nice longevity.
I like the way the perfume feels on my skin, it has a smooth texture, different than most perfumes. At first it is strong, very floral, almost overwhelming and then dies down to a sweet, lasting vanilla. I would purchase a bottle
It’s not bad but not a show stopper either. Basic vanilla smell but it works well with my skin chemistry. I agree that it does not last long, 4-5 hours.
Clean with a slight musk
Not for me
Was not my flavor. To musky
Smells lovely but doesn't last all day. I like that it's not intensely sweet smelling either
I really like it. But it is a basic warm vanilla. It doesn't last all day. I would say 4 to 5 hours.
It’s alright just kinda a basic vanilla scent.
It reminded me of Vanilla Fields, not my favorite.
It's very soft and pretty. It's a definite reorder item.
Love this scent!
It's a warm and non offensive scent that I could wear at work. But more so during cooler weather. Reminds me of a long list of vanilla scents without being too sweet or floral. The only thing I don't like is it reminds me a lot of Bath and Body Works room sprays.
This perfume lingers nicely around you but won't be overpowering, unless you spray way too much. This perfume also last quite a long time, around 10ish hours for me. I got this right before summer but would personally wear this during the winter or a cool/rainy spring or fall day. It is definitely a bit more powdery and floral than I thought it would be but not in a bad way. On me the perfume leans a bit sweet, not in a sugar cube way, but more of a sweet vanilla hard candy way. The sweetness is layered and the coconut helps tone it down in a way making it smell nearly lactonic. This makes it smell creamy and smooth, though, instead of like milk. It almost reminds me of eating a bowl of cream of rice with sweetened condensed milk while surrounded by a field of flowers, but in the winter, if that's even possible lol. I think that if you typically like vanilla fragrances and if you like 'fresh cream warm cashmere' by philosophy you will probably like this. The reason I gave it 4 stars out of 5 is that is because it does nearly border on a tad too powdery for me but I have noticed that this is remedied by just letting it sit on me for a little while and mix with my skin chemistry.
I love love love this one,the gentle hint of vanilla that stays with you all day long, so many complements
Lovely scent to add to other perfumes
Very strong and long lasting, not overpowering tho.
Far too sweet of a scent for something called 'black vanilla'. personally this was a scrubber for me because I couldn't stand to wear it for longer than 20 minutes without getting a headache
Love love love its the best they have
Beautiful!!!
The name is misleading. It is not a dark vanilla. It’s more light and freshly floral. A vanilla appropriate for spring and warmer days. I really enjoy it.
If you love vanilla this is a no brainer. Simply beautiful
Smells lovely
Love love this scent
Only knock is that it’s not my wife’s favorite
This scent is warm and soft. Vanilla radiates from one spritz. Lasts all day. Highly recommend!
