SEΛENE review by Nicola Thomis at Fragrantica

“In terms of where it sits within the brand, Selene will bring Manos Gerakinis to a younger or youthful audience: those who enjoyed Immortelle or Methexis but who wanted something with a more floral bent to it. It will appeal to those who like warm, musky florals and who want a scent that calms and […]

Citrine by Ida Meister at CaFleureBon

Citrine review at Fragrantica by Nicolas Thomis

“Whilst Citrine is most definitely not a fragrance which will please everyone, I could not help but feel that there was passion poured into the creation of this scent.

Meθexis review by Nicolas Thomis at Fragrantica

“I started off writing this thinking I was going to conclude that it is the decadence of MEΘEXIS which encapsulates its beauty, but actually, the more I think about the scent, the more I think it is its thoughtfulness, its almost meditative quality that is the draw.

“In the drydown we enter the portal that opens the soul of the fragrance – a dense, sleek, and sensual experience that dances on your skin, relentlessly.

Immortelle review at L’Officiel Cyprus

“Manos’ interpretation of this honeyed note is on the sweet and spicy accents, with notes of cinnamon.

Rose Poetique review at CaFleureBon by Despoina Veneti

“Manos Gerakinis Rose Poétique opens with a glorious, intoxicating Damask rose, fleshy and full-bodied, yet unmistakably euphoric.

The first signs of […]
