Mancera Purple Flowers is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Pierre Montale. Purple Flowers opens with Fig Tree, Mandarin, Pepper, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Mancera's Purple Flowers carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This polarizing Mancera scent is a bold, long-lasting declaration. Some find it a 'rose-patchouli atomic bomb' or a 'thick and awful' granny smell, while others adore its 'slinky, secretive' charm and 'fabulous' performance. Definitely not one for a blind buy.

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection, often described as a 'nuclear beast', make it less suitable for office wear where discretion is key. The intense rose and woody-spicy accords lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though it's still wearable casually by those who prefer a statement scent.

About

Purple Flowers opens with a vibrant, fresh-spicy kick of pepper, ginger, and mandarin, quickly entwined with the green, slightly sweet fig tree. The heart blooms into a prominent, jammy rose, deepened by earthy patchouli and dry cedar, giving it a woody backbone. As it settles, a soft, warm base of musk, ambergris, and a hint of vanilla emerges, making for a smooth, albeit intense, drydown. It's a complex dance of spice, wood, and a dominant, sweet rose.
