Mancera Roses Jasmine Eau de Parfum
A green, classic floral pairing rose with jasmine and orange blossom, opened by pear and citrus, finished on musk, oakmoss and cedar.
Mancera Roses Jasmine Eau de Parfum opens on a green, slightly tart combination of pear, grass, lemon and mandarin, a fresher start than many of the house's sweeter rose releases. It's one of the more classically structured florals in the Mancera line. Mancera positions it within its floral family, and it sits comfortably alongside the house's other Eau de Parfum releases on the South African market. It was launched in 2012 and has remained part of the range since.
What does Roses Jasmine smell like?
The heart pairs jasmine and rose directly, joined by orange blossom and patchouli, giving it a fuller, more traditional white floral character than Mancera's fruitier options. The base settles into white musk, oakmoss and cedar, adding a touch of green, mossy depth that keeps it from feeling purely soapy.
- Top notes: pear, grass, lemon, mandarin
- Heart notes: jasmine, rose, orange blossom, patchouli
- Base notes: white musk, oakmoss, cedar
Performance and when to wear it
Performance is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the oakmoss and cedar base keeping the floral heart grounded through the day. Its fresher, greener profile makes it a good year-round option, including warmer South African weather. As with most Mancera fragrances, expect performance to vary a fair amount depending on your skin type and the climate, so treat any description of staying power as a general guide rather than a guarantee.
Who is it for?
Roses Jasmine is marketed as unisex and suits anyone who wants a classic, well-balanced rose-jasmine floral rather than a sweet or fruity twist. If you appreciate traditional white florals, this is one of the more straightforward options from Mancera to try. Prices for Roses Jasmine in South Africa are worth comparing across retailers before buying, since Eau de Parfum niche releases like this one carry a real cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is Mancera Roses Jasmine long-lasting?+
It's typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the oakmoss, cedar and musk base helping the rose and jasmine heart hold through the day. Everyone's skin chemistry differs, though, so it's worth sampling before assuming how it will perform for you specifically.
Is Roses Jasmine for men or women?+
It's marketed as unisex. The classic rose and jasmine pairing over a green, mossy base wears well regardless of gender. That said, fragrance preference is personal, and plenty of people outside the marketed gender enjoy Roses Jasmine just as much.
Which size should I buy?+
It's currently listed in a 120ml Eau de Parfum bottle, a good option if you're after a traditional floral for regular wear. If you haven't tried it before, consider getting a decant or sample first, since niche Eau de Parfum bottles are a real investment.

Adds chestnut-vanilla warmth and smoke to lighter scents — converts a daytime signature into something evening-ready in cold weather.
Layering Tip
Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
How to Layer Roses Jasmine
Combine Roses Jasmine with these partners to create something new. Spray the heavier scent first, let it settle, then add the accent on top. These are note-based suggestions — a great starting point to experiment with.

Armaf Club de Nuit Precieux IHow: 2 sprays Armaf Club de Nuit Precieux I on chest/clothing as the base layer first, then 1-2 sprays Mancera Roses Jasmine on pulse points (neck, wrists) on top once the base has settled for a few minutes; for oil/attar versions of either, dab the oil on as a primer before spraying the other over it
Result: the shared cedar, jasmine, lemon pulls the two together, giving more depth and longer wear than either worn alone

AI Review Summary
Synthesised from fragrance data
Roses Jasmine from Mancera is a classically structured floral that earns its name honestly — jasmine and rose sit front and centre in the heart, lifted by orange blossom and grounded by patchouli, oakmoss, and cedar rather than drowned in sweetness or fruit. The opening is fresher than you might expect from Mancera, with pear, grass, and citrus giving it a green, slightly tart quality that sets it apart from the house's richer releases. It's the kind of scent that feels polished without being fussy — traditional white floral lovers will find it immediately comfortable, while those used to gourmand or oud-heavy fragrances might find it pleasantly understated. The mossy, woody base keeps things from veering too soapy, making it a solid year-round option that handles South Africa's warmer months better than heavier florals tend to. Reach for it on days when you want something effortlessly put-together — office environments, lunches, or any occasion where a clean, well-balanced floral does the work without announcing itself too loudly.
