Manila Grace · 2015

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Manila Grace by Manila Grace is a women's perfume where geranium and cardamom meet green notes, then sweeten into coconut, gingerbread and vanilla; it has been discontinued. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Voters lean towards leisure and evening wear, with some also choosing daytime and the office. It opens bright with lemon, blackcurrant and green notes, while cardamom and geranium add a little spice. In the heart, coconut, gingerbread and white peach bring a gourmand sweetness, softened by lily of the valley. The base of cedarwood, amberwood and vanilla dries down creamy and oriental.
