Purple Flowers

by Pierre Montale

Mancera Purple Flowers is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Pierre Montale. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Fig Tree, Nutmeg, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Rose, Patchouli, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Musk, Ambergris, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Purple Flowers: Acquired

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

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.
