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 and the Golden Mean! Rarely are two such topics intertwined. As I smelt perfumer Chris Maurice’s brilliant new limited edition parfum Manos Gerakinis Citrine – it became clear to me how many facets may be present in a fragrance, and how far-reaching their implications may be.

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. There’s a fieriness, a fierceness, about it. Citrine doesn’t include oud or patchouli because they are in fashion at the moment, it does so because it […]

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. MEΘEXIS has a decadent, rich, sumptuous side for […]

Anthem review by Nicoleta Tomsa at CaFleureBon

“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. All the usual suspects we love to love are here: a smooth leather mixed in with deep vanilla, earthy patchouli, and the most smooth vision of oud. Manos’s […]

Anthem review at Fragrantica by Elena Vosnaki

“The scent of Anthem engulfed me immediately in its lush tentacles, augmenting the woody ambery backdrop exponentially with each whiff. A glorious aromatic amber fragrance with copious helpings of premium grade geranium fanned on resinous, plush notes of velvet. The central chord of agarwood, patchouli, and amber are extended with what seems like modern diffusers that […]

Immortelle review at L’Officiel Cyprus

“Manos’ interpretation of this honeyed note is on the sweet and spicy accents, with notes of cinnamon. The result is resinous without being heavy, balanced with sandalwood and benzoin, and the musky depth of the perfume gets better when it dries down and stays poised for hours.” Read the full review at L’Officiel Cyprus

Immortelle review by Ventvenir

“From the first seconds, Immortelle reminds me of the cup of coffee with milk and spices, that you drink in a cozy atmosphere with someone you appreciate and love.

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. This is indeed no melancholic, moody rose: saffron shines through the dense petals like penetrating sun beams, while the contemporary touches of sharp rhubarb and tangy raspberry offer their tart/sweet energy to the rose. The first signs of […]
