Have you worn Roses Greedy?

Tell us how it opens, how it settles on your skin, how long it lasts and when you wear it.

  1. Angelard

    My god, it’s very similar to Boucheron’s Quatre, in my opinion about 80%, only that this one doesn’t lift the fruity notes as much and has a stronger musk. The moment I sprayed it I thought: ‘I know this scent!’. It’s very pleasant and I like it because it’s less fruity than Boucheron, very cheerful and daytime, practically a wardrobe staple; it’s a safe blind buy, hard to dislike. In my opinion, it smells like a Quatre boosted to 100% with a slight touch of Roses Vanille. Edit: At first it’s similar to Quatre and as it dries down to Bond No. 9. After an hour it starts changing and now it reminds me slightly of Bond No. 9. I love it, I can’t stop smelling myself 😍😍😍, anyone 15 and up can wear it.

  2. Gaby Pedroza

    Very similar to Roses Vanille without the liquorish note, making it more versatile and less overwhelming. The opening is explosively fruity, with some roses and peach juice plus a green touch; without them being explicitly listed, I sense green notes that prevent the sugar from exploding. After a few minutes, just sugar-dusted rose petals and a gentle musk, with jasmine notes coming and going but never staying. It’s a comfortable daily scent for the office, with a chic touch from that musk and quite feminine due to those sweet flowers. I think I’ll use it all year, except on very hot days because it’s sweet. Long-lasting, over 8 hours, with moderate sillage.

    Greedy by Rosas is delicate: at first, it’s freshly cut roses, then it transforms into sugared roses with musk and peach. It evokes a fairytale princess with her dress in the wind, fresh and tender. It’s not a complicated scent that anyone would dislike; it’s fresh, clean, and feminine, with great sillage and longevity. It has a slight sweet touch but is pure freshness, nothing citrusy. It doesn’t remind me of Narciso; it has its own personality. I wouldn’t have noticed it before, I’m not a rose fan and I prefer sweet scents, but here I am, loving it. I highly recommend it; it’s exquisite. Scent: 8.5/10, Longevity: 9/10, Sillage: 8/10.

    I have a decant and after several tests, I say it doesn’t smell gourmand on my skin. It opens citrusy and a bit intoxicating, stays that way for a while, then the rose and jasmine come out, though it keeps the citrus touch and the musk, but I don’t like that musk; on my skin, it doesn’t evolve well. It has a good aroma, but not on me ☹️ it smells like roses with everything: stem, leaves, no sugar. Regarding longevity, I sprayed it 3 times and still smelled it after 5 hours, but I told my husband to come closer to see if he could notice it, and he didn’t perceive anything at all. I don’t know if my nose was just saturated or what.

    Roses Greedy is delicate: at first, freshly cut roses, then roses dusted with sugar, musk, and peach. It’s worthy of a fairy tale princess, with a wind-swept dress, freshness, and tenderness. It’s not a complicated scent that anyone would dislike. It’s fresh, clean, and feminine, with excellent sillage and longevity. It has a slight sweet touch but is pure freshness (nothing citrusy). It doesn’t remind me of Narciso; it has its own personality. I wouldn’t have noticed it ages ago; I’ve never been a rose fan, but here I am, loving it. I highly recommend it; it’s exquisite. Scent: 8.5/10, Longevity: 9/10, Sillage: 8/10.

    This was my first Mancera because I was gifted a decant. Honestly, I didn’t like it. On my skin, no flower comes through: it opens with something fruity and astringent, which I imagine are the currants, apricot, and pepper. Beyond that, I don’t perceive anything else, just a high concentration of Iso E Super that gives it a woody but very synthetic vibe. If your nose is sensitive to this ingredient, test it before buying. Longevity is about 10-12 hours, powerful sillage for the first hour, then moderate afterward.

  7. This is delicious! It’s so similar, almost identical, to my beloved Intense Roses Musk by Montale; I detect roses, musk, and sugar in both. Are they like Narciso? A little, but this is the sugared version, whereas Narciso is fresher and has poor longevity (on my skin, it lasts an hour). Edit: Roses Greedy’s longevity on my skin reaches 3 hours, same as the regular Montale, but Intense surpasses 8 hours. The key difference is that RG comes out slightly soapy, while Montale is more intense and long-lasting.

  8. Adictaalosaromas90

    I need to review this because I bought it blindly and it wasn’t what I expected… It doesn’t resemble Narciso nor is it an overly sugared rose. At first sniff, there’s a fresh, adorable rose, then COCONUT—lots of coconut, like you’re in summer with coconut sunscreen and put on a fresh rose perfume. I also detect peach mixed with that coconut, reminiscent of Katy Perry’s Purr but with rose as the star. I still need to test it more, but clearly, you have to like coconut, peach, and rose.

  9. Danielle_Gris

    This was my first Mancera, thanks to a decant, and honestly, I didn’t like it. On my skin, no flowers come out: it opens fruity and slightly astringent, probably due to the blackcurrant, peach, and pepper. Beyond that, I only detect an extremely high concentration of Iso E Super, giving it a woody but very synthetic touch. If your nose is sensitive to this ingredient, test it first. It lasts about 10-12 hours, with a powerful sillage for the first hour and moderate afterward.

  10. Gemojai

    Roses Greedy opens with tangerine, then peach notes, and eventually the slightly sweetened rose takes over. I think the success of this perfume, like so many from Mancera, is undoubtedly due to the type of white musk that makes you smell your own wrist, especially as it dries down. In general, perfumes from this house, like Montale’s, are strong, meaning they are noticeable and distinct, as I said before, thanks to their musk that acts as a fixative and an addictive note.

  11. Arthurmiller9

    Just one thing… I never understood why everyone thinks it’s ‘feminine’. It’s one of my favorites, and unlike subjective opinions, it doesn’t smell like a woman to me. Not even my coworkers notice it as such; they love it so much they ask what it is, it seems delicious enough to wear every day. It sounds neutral to me. If you like roses, go ahead, flowers and fruits are universal, so I think Montale nailed many of their perfumes, or at least the ones I’ve tried.

  12. Arthurmiller9

    There’s just one thing: I never understood why most people think it’s ‘feminine.’ It’s one of my favorites, and unlike subjective reviews, it never sounded that way to me. Even coworkers have asked me what I’m wearing because they find it delicious for daily use. I think it’s neutral. If you like roses, go for it; flowers and fruits are universal. That’s why Pierre Montale gets it right in many of his perfumes, at least the ones I’ve tried.

  13. Raquel1024

    I bought this blindly to try Mancera, and at the Amazon price, it’s a great deal. Jasmine dominates the roses. It’s sweet, but dries down beautifully. If you like sweet florals, this is a must-have, though it’s not for me, so I gave it to my sister who’s addicted to roses and sweetness; it tames any heavy perfume, but on her, everything smells like talcum powder and dust, which doesn’t suit me but works for her.

  14. Karamino

    I bought it a few days ago (with the magnet cap) and it doesn’t last even 3 hours on my skin. I already have Roses Vanille, Velvet Vanille, and Intense Tiaré from Montale, and those last much longer. Is there anyone else this happened to? I’m disappointed because on top of that, I got the 120ml bottle at an official perfumerie.

  15. LizGlz

    Greedy by Rosas might be a flanker of Narciso Rodriguez because that musk scent is identical to theirs. It’s a cheerful floral, slightly sweet from the vanilla and sugar, with a musky dry down that lasts all day. I loved it; if you like Narciso, you’ll definitely be hooked. Perfect for everyday wear.

  16. LizGlz

    Greedy Roses could be a flanker of Narciso Rodriguez; it smells like musk just like their other perfumes—a happy floral with vanilla and sugar sweetness, plus that final musky touch that stays with you all day. I loved it. If you like NR, you’ll love this too. Ideal for daily use.

  17. Candycandy40

    This one is a YES!!! After my disaster with Femininity from the same house, this one was a hit. Fresh and sweet roses, perfect for daytime and spring, good longevity and sillage without being overwhelming. I totally recommend it for rose lovers in all their facets. Very feminine.

  18. claudiosa

    Not worth the price. Nothing special about it; smells like air freshener. Overpriced and says nothing. Forget the sugared roses or Montale’s Musk; this is a boring, cloying floral with a hair dye scent. I’ve never received compliments on this perfume—it’s plain and soulless.

  19. Candycandy40

    This one is it! After my disaster with the same house’s Feminity, I absolutely loved this. Fresh, sweet roses, perfect for daytime and spring, with good longevity and sillage without being overwhelming. I highly recommend it to rose lovers in all their forms. Very feminine.

  20. username21

    I’ll be brief: on my skin, it smells incredible and works great; projects strongly and intensely for 3 to 4 hours without being overwhelming, then another 4 hours with a moderate but noticeable aroma. For me, it’s exquisite because we have great chemistry together.

  21. xakaranda

    Super versatile perfume, suitable for winter and summer. If you like Narciso Rodriguez for Her, you’ll like this. It’s not intrusive, with decent longevity around 8 hours. Super feminine sweet roses. It’s the younger, innocent sister of Roses Vanille.

  22. They applied a sample of this pseudo-unisex to me, and after several hours, it only reminded me of a Lancôme fragrance my mother uses. Pure concentrated rose and floral scent, nothing else.

  23. I LOVE IT, I can smell all the notes, but especially the rose 🤩 it smells fruity and floral, and as it dries down, I notice a very soft coconut scent 🙊🥥💐🍑

  24. WhiteFlorals

    It’s a delightful rose scent, very refined and fresh. Smells like high-end rose soaps, which brings me calm and childhood memories… I loved it!

  25. theperfumist

    It has something! I’m not sure if I’d buy it, but I like it. It has vibes similar to Bacarat Rouge 540.

  26. selene85

    Delicate, a beautiful rose without being loud, I prefer it to Delina a thousand times.

  27. selene85

    Delicate, a beautiful rose without any fuss. I prefer it a thousand times over Delina.
