Black Vanilla by Mancera, launched in 2017 and crafted by Pierre Montale, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that balances sweet and powdery notes with unexpected layers of fruit and floral intensity. The composition opens with white peach and black currant before giving way to coconut and calabrian bergamot, creating a tension between freshness and sweetness. At its core, the scent features violet and Egyptian jasmine, which are then anchored by Madagascar vanilla and white musk, resulting in a warm, enveloping finish.

Application Tips
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points in the morning for a scent that evolves throughout the day. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so the powdery base will carry you through until evening.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where coconut and vanilla create a comforting aroma that feels both familiar and slightly unexpected.
