I'm a man and I wear it. It smells GREAT ON ME. I get tons of complements from women and men. I just used mine up last month. I purchased my bottle in 2016 and your right it's NUCLEAR and a little goes a long way. I have been in a PACKED OUT CLUB and people would say damn somebody smell good. 😅😅😅 I'm glad I found your channel. I will subscribe.
I also blind bought this because I heard it was straight up bubble gum and that's a scent profile I love. I have a whole dedicated bubble gum section of my perfume collection (lots of tuberose fragrances in that section). Anyway, GREAT review, thank you!
Ladies you have to try this layer combo with Velvet Vanilla and Instant Crush. I tried this on accident and I love it. I was about to declutter Velvet Vanilla until I found this combo. Instant Crush elevated the scent for me and I love it.
Yes this perfume is sweet but last like no other, and your right it’s definitely a compliment getter! Yes you don’t have to pay for price I got mine for $62….
Santa, usually we agree on all things scent (I just blind-purchased Pas Ce Soir, thanks to you, and I am in awe), but I have just received Velvet Vanilla (after blind-ordering it), and I'm in love! It smells just like tutti frutti Hubba Bubba and I'm so here for it! I'm yet to wear it out (it's summer here), but I'm so looking forward to it! I'm so glad this doesn't smell like the og L'Interdit and/or My Way, as I'm no fan of atomic tuberose! On me, it's a slightly spiced tutti frutti (with the powder on it) gum with a warm (yet not edible) vanilla base. After about an hour I can detect a really well blended mix of jazmin, tuberose and neroli coming though... thank gawd!
When I have fragrances that are very strong I will spray the back of my neck, that way I can get whiffs of it without it being to much like spraying on your chest.
Hi! New subbie here. 👋 I just bought my first niche mancera rose vanilla and now I need more! Why am I not owning this scent sooner? You’re so right that this house is a gateway to all the niche houses. Sooo delish! Love all your reviews!
This is my first Mancera, gotta say it’s pretty amazing, mixes with my chemistry very well. Also, I don’t think it has the lasting power at all, def not the 8hrs I was advised of. And yes- always get compliments.
Great video! I haven't tried this fragrance but I definitely want to try it! I love Mancera fragrances! My favorite so far is Coco Vanille. I love how strong they are! Sometimes I want people to smell me before they see me. Leave a lasting impression!1😂😂This is on my list to try! Thank you for the review.
I bought a 15ml of velvet Vanilla and upon first spray it reminded me of Guerlains Angelique Noire! I think it’s the Angelica in the fragrance but I love this one and Angelic Noire is one of my favorite Guerlains!
I blind bought this fragrance and it was not my jam.......immediately gave it to my daughter since she likes all fragrances that are SWEET....had I seen this review prior to purchase I would have passed because I trust you❤
Great video. I will probably pass on the Velvet Vanilla. Jardin Exclusif is good and strong of course. It’s more on the line of Erba Pura, but without the beast mode muskiness that I don’t like.
Ok Santa...I think I have a sample of this one and I'm going to try it. I do have Full bottles of Roses Vanille, Coco Vanille, and a Decant of Vanille Exclusive
Let me preface this by saying that I didn't grow up with sweet bubble gum, so I'm not sure if I'm just not accustomed to that scent profile, but I don't get bubble gum or anything edible. I get a very sweet tuberose and lots of vanilla. My skin tends to temper sweetness, so after 30 mins or so, it's not as tooth rottingly sweet as the opening, and all I'm left with is a beautiful fruity tuberose and Mancera's signature vanilla for the next 12...or until I shower..hours. (I hugged a male friend of mine while wearing this fragrance on my clothes, and he said when he got home, his wife.. also a friend of mine...asked why he smelled like cake; so be warned of the unintentional transfer.) I agree with the compliment factor; I think it's because it's playful, sweet, loud, and approachable. You wear this frag, and you're going to seem like a fun person. I don't wear it often, but I enjoy it when I do. I love it.
I’m not a fan of Tuberose BUT in this one😍😍🌟 it smells like Bubble Gum on me so I love it 🥰 can’t wait to hear your thoughts 💭☺️ I blind bought it as well back in 2020 during the perfume craze while we was on LOCKDOWN 😢
I don’t like when tuberose smells of bubble gum so this is just not for me. I have also tried Roses Vanille and there is something in there I just don’t like (something screechy) but it lasts forever. I need to try a few more because I like their longevity and silage but I have not found one I jive with yet
Oh yea this one is not for you. They have so many so you just may find one that you like.

This review made me pull the trigger, lol! I want it to be sweet and longggggg lasting, so thanks! I, unfortunately, do not like Roses Vanille so fingers crossed!😁
I love this fragrance, but I agree that you have to be in a certain mood for this. That mood for me is “I’m not serious today.” However, I do not get the projection & longevity that everyone speaks of. I reapply like 3 times when I wear it. This has kept me from exploring more Manceras.
I may have to get a sample of this one. I want to try roses vanille because that's hyped up as well. I have Montale sensual instinct and i always get compliments with that one and i have instant crush. However, it's masculine on me but Smell good though. I feel like I need to be apart of the rough riders when I put that one on😂
Yes roses vanille is hyped as well. I have dedicated video up on the channel on rose vanille :-) Ive heard great things about sensual instinct too! You are right about instant crush...it's very edgy.
I love Velvet Vanilla. I happen to get a bit of green notes and musk so it doesn't smell too sickly to me though it is still VERY sweet. I could personally wear it everyday though I don't because it's a bit much lol.
Most of the comments of this beautiful fragrance are experiencing the magnetic cap version - man y’all should try the decantable - screw on/off cap it’s way more potent than you could all ever imagine one bottle would last you a lifetime
Hi Santa! So about Mancera...... my PH and this house do not get along at all like you and house gucci lol. I LOVE roses vanille from mancera and it just did not work not matter how i tried with my decant. When my friend wears it, it smells amazing on her. I have sampled other frags from this house and got that same plastic smell on each. I just had to give up in this house sadly.
It was a bit too bubble gummy for me, but nice. I just finally added my first bubble gum Tuberose to my collection but she is SEXY and smells like a 90210 rich auntie lol.... Jump Up and Kiss Me ( Estatic) by Clive Christian
I absolutely do not get any of the other notes listed for Velvet Vanilla. That thing is a tuberose BOMB!! I definitely have to be in the mood to smell like bubblegum to wear that fragrance!😅
Woow, you look Amazing tonight. Did you shop the BBWorks candle sale? They have new scents available . Love the lip 💋 color and eye glasses. Did I miss your video??
Santa, you made me laugh so hard. I myself am kind of past Mancera (and Montale). Their perfumes are just so loud and often chemical smelling. I just sold my Instant Crush. Upon smelling it felt like it singed my nose hairs lol. The only one I still have and will keep is Red Tobacco. I love that one. I do want to put my nose on Choco Violette though. From Montale I have Chocolate Greedy, but that's because I loooooove chocolate. But there are better chocolate fragrances out there.
Hahahah notice I said Mancera is an entry/gateway house concerning niche world. You shared you are already into niche with me before so Im not surprised that you are over the house. Instant Crush is nuclear!
I blind bought this one too, and this is the only fragrance that has made me gag. It was not for me. Even the fake leather pouch it comes in smells awful!
So . .. .I blind bought THIS MORNING Wild Python after watching another TH-camr. I don't mind blind buying Manceras because you can get them on sale. I hope I like it.
This velvet vanille is pretty oke, 💛💞 i have 2 deal with the first 30 min because its almost 2 much for me 2 handle but than it become pretty! Its also pretty if you just spray it on you clothes and in the air 2 walk through thw rain of it. Cant handle it on my wrist but behind the ear is oke 😅 If you want the perfect bubblegum scent...? Dolce Amalfi Xerjoff💛 , it is Amazing! Awesome! One of my best parfums i have and it last all day long ✌🏻
Unfortunately, it’s a no for me. I have tested this and the smell of pink pepper and clove are too prominent on my skin. Makes me nauseous. 🤢 It reminds me of Rouge Smoking and I don’t like that one either.
Honestly, i strongly dislike Mancera perfumes. I got this perfume last year, though I loved it at first, I quickly got tired of it. It was too loud and I got too many compliments from men, it was crazy. One man told his wife to ask me the name of the perfume, he wants to smell it on her. She looked pissed. It somewhat reminds me of Chinatown by Bond No9.
i love how you describe it! :) also, i love the way you talk! it's like you're just everyone's friend :D
Thanks for tuning in. I appreciate the comments. I just want fragrance to be fun and inviting for all.
LOVE your glasses THE Santa Maria!
😭😭

I appreciate a man's perspective on it. Congratulations on finishing the bottle. Welcome new elf 🧝♀️ 🧝♂️
I love the scent, and it's a compliment-getter. It lasts forever, especially on hair and clothes.
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Doesnt it make your hair grey???
It is similar to love don’t be shy
I also blind bought this because I heard it was straight up bubble gum and that's a scent profile I love. I have a whole dedicated bubble gum section of my perfume collection (lots of tuberose fragrances in that section). Anyway, GREAT review, thank you!
hahaha well you got what you were looking for in this one. lol. Thank you!
Omg, please, please recommend some other bubble gum scents as I LOVE that!
Ladies you have to try this layer combo with Velvet Vanilla and Instant Crush. I tried this on accident and I love it. I was about to declutter Velvet Vanilla until I found this combo. Instant Crush elevated the scent for me and I love it.
Interesting! I have instant crush as well so I will try this out. Thanks for the suggestion.
@nicey7718, I tried the combo and OMG! All I say is, thank you so much!
@@SingTiffany you’re so welcome!!!
I adore this I've work this for a 16 hr shift one time , an As i was leaving work the next day my coworker complimented me !! It's beast !
Oh yea, velvet vanilla will last your whole shift!
Yes this perfume is sweet but last like no other, and your right it’s definitely a compliment getter! Yes you don’t have to pay for price I got mine for $62….
Totally agreed with you on all points mentioned.
I just got this and it smells just as I thought it would, going to wear it tomorrow to the gym 💪🏾.

“The longevity is eternal” I’m screaming 😂
Im just warning you lol
Hi! New subbie here. 👋
I just bought my first niche mancera rose vanilla and now I need more! Why am I not owning this scent sooner? You’re so right that this house is a gateway to all the niche houses. Sooo delish! Love all your reviews!
Welcome new elf! Rose Vanille is a great one to start with. Glad the reviews bring you joy.
I just got my first niche and it’s also Roses Vanille. I love it.
This is my first Mancera, gotta say it’s pretty amazing, mixes with my chemistry very well. Also, I don’t think it has the lasting power at all, def not the 8hrs I was advised of. And yes- always get compliments.

I heard coco vanille is great for summer. Yes get your nose on velvet vanilla. It will fill the room lol.
I bought a 15ml of velvet Vanilla and upon first spray it reminded me of Guerlains Angelique Noire! I think it’s the Angelica in the fragrance but I love this one and Angelic Noire is one of my favorite Guerlains!
I have angelique noire and it smells completely different from Velvet Vanilla to my nose.
Montale and Mancera give you large bottles anx their fragrances are powerhouses!!
They do!
I blind bought this fragrance and it was not my jam.......immediately gave it to my daughter since she likes all fragrances that are SWEET....had I seen this review prior to purchase I would have passed because I trust you❤
hahaha so many us have blind bought this one 😂. I can see the younger ladies liking it more (sweet factor). Thanks for trusting my reviews.
Great video. I will probably pass on the Velvet Vanilla. Jardin Exclusif is good and strong of course. It’s more on the line of Erba Pura, but without the beast mode muskiness that I don’t like.
I think I’m going to blind buy this! Thank you Santa lol!
Good luck!
I love this hair color on you!!! ❤Velvet vanilla is my jam and it’s summer safe……. I think😂
Ok Santa...I think I have a sample of this one and I'm going to try it. I do have Full bottles of Roses Vanille, Coco Vanille, and a Decant of Vanille Exclusive
Look for that sample! How is vanille exclusive?
My way and velvet vanilla, girl girl girl
Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful review!
Thank you!
I love Holidays and Coco Vanilla I think that’s the name!
Nice! I plan to at least sample coco vanille.
I agree Mancera, ain't no joke.... it's going to last
Facts!
This is a hilarious review, I’m laughing out loud 😂🤣
hahahaha glad it made you laugh

Saving this to my watch later!!!!
Hope you enjoy!
I’m not a fan of Tuberose BUT in this one😍😍🌟 it smells like Bubble Gum on me so I love it 🥰 can’t wait to hear your thoughts 💭☺️ I blind bought it as well back in 2020 during the perfume craze while we was on LOCKDOWN 😢
It's definitely a bubble gummy tuberose in here. Yes 2020 perfume craze was when mancera blew up!
Just blind bought this for my girlfriend last night 😬. Fingers crossed that she enjoys it!!!!!
Hope it goes well!
goodluck...

Yes it has to be the right time and event for it. You probably have gone nose blind to it but trust and believe everyone can smell it around you.
Hey Santa 🙋🏾♀️ let's hear your thoughts on this one
Let's go!
Lol!....I love your 'keep it real ' energy with your reviews!...We need truth tellers in these youtube streets pertaining to these perfumes😂👏🏾
I appreciate that. Can't love every single thing lol
I may have to get a sample of this one. I want to try roses vanille because that's hyped up as well. I have Montale sensual instinct and i always get compliments with that one and i have instant crush. However, it's masculine on me but Smell good though. I feel like I need to be apart of the rough riders when I put that one on😂
Yes roses vanille is hyped as well. I have dedicated video up on the channel on rose vanille :-) Ive heard great things about sensual instinct too! You are right about instant crush...it's very edgy.

That's great that you get more notes out of it. hahaha it is a bit much for everyday.
I bought a sample and wish I smelled Bubblegum. Maybe I should try it again to see if I got what you do.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Most of the comments of this beautiful fragrance are experiencing the magnetic cap version - man y’all should try the decantable - screw on/off cap it’s way more potent than you could all ever imagine one bottle would last you a lifetime
This does not need to be stronger.
@@TheSantaMaria1agreed but the original version is stronger that’s what I’m saying cheers
I think you would love Jardin exclusif
It's been on my radar. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Santa! So about Mancera...... my PH and this house do not get along at all like you and house gucci lol.

I have sampled other frags from this house and got that same plastic smell on each. I just had to give up in this house sadly.
hahahah it is like that with fragrance houses. Oh well...on to other houses that work better for you.
It was a bit too bubble gummy for me, but nice. I just finally added my first bubble gum Tuberose to my collection but she is SEXY and smells like a 90210 rich auntie lol.... Jump Up and Kiss Me ( Estatic) by Clive Christian
Totally understandable. Yessss for 90210! I'll have to check more of Clive Christian out.
😂😂😂😂 on the eternal longevity LOLOLOL. I do love it though!!
It is eternal lol.
I absolutely do not get any of the other notes listed for Velvet Vanilla. That thing is a tuberose BOMB!! I definitely have to be in the mood to smell like bubblegum to wear that fragrance!😅
hahahah right! It's tuberose-bubble gum.
Woow, you look Amazing tonight. Did you shop the BBWorks candle sale? They have new scents available
. Love the lip 💋 color and eye glasses. Did I miss your video??
Thank you for the compliments. Sorry no BBW content in this video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This giggle just before!!!!!
I was about to have some fun.
I don’t know if I have a bad bottle but all
I smell
Is sardines!!! I am mortified. Cannot return! Anyone else get a weird smell. Help!
Sorry to hear that
I had a bottle of this but decluttered it cause I can't get with the bubblegum smell😂
hahahah I totally understand.
This is similar to moschino buble gum perfume ? ❤
I have not smelled the moschino one so I can not compare them.
@@TheSantaMaria1 thank you 😊
Where are your glasses from? So cute
Should be in the description box.
I saw a video where you talked about your least favorite perfumes in your collection, including Velvet Vanille. Do you still use it and like it?
Thanks for sharing.
Santa, you made me laugh so hard. I myself am kind of past Mancera (and Montale). Their perfumes are just so loud and often chemical smelling. I just sold my Instant Crush.

Choco violet is very heavy. Good for winter and fall
Velvet vanilla my number 1
Glad it works for you
😩😩😩 Sheesh! I didn’t expect this to be such a powerhouse. I’m equally horrified and intrigued lol.
I never knew bubblegum could be nuclear until I met this fragrance. Proceed with caution.
😂😂 Sounds like I need to get my hands on this 🍬
Please tell me is tuberose noticable? I don't like white flowers in perfumes, tuberose specially. And is this fragrance suitable for fall/winter?
Please sample fragrances first
Where can I get this from for a good price ? Thank you!! 😊
It's linked in the description box
Please do a review on FAME paco rabanne …. New subscriber love your reviews ❤
I plan to get my nose on it. Welcome to the family new elf 🧝♀️ 🧝♂️
A stronger version of LDBS.
I disagree but I have heard that comparison before.
I blind bought this one too, and this is the only fragrance that has made me gag. It was not for me. Even the fake leather pouch it comes in smells awful!
hahahaha it's too much for real.
“On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 12” 😂
It is! 😂😂😂
@@TheSantaMaria1 😂
It smells exactly like kilians love don't be shy & Lattafa ansaam gold . They all smell the same
I disagree with the comparisons. Thanks for sharing
So . .. .I blind bought THIS MORNING Wild Python after watching another TH-camr. I don't mind blind buying Manceras because you can get them on sale. I hope I like it.
Ive heard wild python has a following as well. Very true on their price point.
I had this but it choked me out so badly that I sold it
I can totally understand your decision.
This velvet vanille is pretty oke, 💛💞 i have 2 deal with the first 30 min because its almost 2 much for me 2 handle but than it become pretty!
Its also pretty if you just spray it on you clothes and in the air 2 walk through thw rain of it.

If you want the perfect bubblegum scent...?
Dolce Amalfi Xerjoff💛 , it is Amazing! Awesome! One of my best parfums i have and it last all day long ✌🏻

Unfortunately, it’s a no for me. I have tested this and the smell of pink pepper and clove are too prominent on my skin. Makes me nauseous. 🤢 It reminds me of Rouge Smoking and I don’t like that one either.
That's good that you tested it first .
I don't like it... it smells harsh to me..I have sample from 2 years back...I did order roses vanille though...I hope its better
hahaha I completely understand! Roses Vanille is better and way more tolerable.
Would you layer this with Kayali Rock Sugar
Sure go ahead and do it.
U crack me up !
Thanks for watching
Get Jardin exclusive! You’ll thank me later..
Zhane!!! Im honored to have you here. Thanks for the suggestion. That one keeps coming up!
I just couldn't love it! It smells like some sort of hair product from back in the day...I tried, I really did, but I just had to sell it
Thanks for sharing
💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Thanks Sharida!
Try Black Vanilla by Mancera I love it.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Dang Santa not silly to wear the fragrance! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's so playful of a scent that I have to be a in a silly mood.
It's a no for me. It was never on my radar. I love scents that do the most for my $$$$. The Exclusif is where it's at.
Thanks for sharing
I like sweet perfumes but this was too much even for me. Toothachingly sweet, heavy and cloying. Just pure nausea.
Yes this is way too powerful and sweet.
Not longevity is eternal 😂😂 lol goodness
For real!!!!
It's way too POTENT
It is. Have to be careful with the sprays and it can't be too hot outside
Honestly, i strongly dislike Mancera perfumes. I got this perfume last year, though I loved it at first, I quickly got tired of it.
