Highness Rose by Montale is better than both IMO. But from your two choices - the Mancera.

100% Love by S Perfume--a romantic chocolate and rose theme with a classical (smart, well-proportioned) execution and made interesting with a tart raspberry note.

Incense Rose by Andy Tauer--massive animalic (castoreum) rose with frankincense.

Lyric Man by Amouage--transparent rose with an incense underpinning.

Etc.

Tnx Hednic for answer

Treeman Incense Rose and Lyric Man is very expensive for me Do you have tried Mancera-Roses Vannile or Lumiere Noire and what is your opinion?

Unfortunately, I haven't smelled these. If Lumiere Noire is in your price range, I highly recommend 100% Love, which is $100 for 60 ml.

I have not smelled the Mancera. Lumiere Noire is certainly good: some rose, some patch and resins, relatively dry. Not cheap, though.

One range you could explore is Parfums de Rosine- they're still niche but not as expensive as other niche brands. They are usually more straightforwardly rosy than Le Labo, but there are many choices. Examples woud be Rose d'Homme (classical spicy rose) or Twill rose (more animalic rose).

But if you want to remain in mainstream and inexpensive territory, you can check Aramis 900 (heftier than Rose 31, but very masculine, with resins and patch). Or, if you can find it, Cabaret by Gres, a dry spicy rose.

The patch in MFK Lumiere Noire keeps it from turning sweet, and I find the rose in it slightly sour, Roses Vanille on the other hand is very candy sweet and quite linear. Depends how sweet you want to go...

Oh, and try Tauere Une Rose Vermeille!

Both cannot replace Rose 31 in my book

Lumiere Noire is all about the musk, the rose is barely detectable. It's also a spin off of Narciso Rodriguez for Her EdP with few differences

Rose Vanille is Roses Musk from Montale with tons of vanilla added

Rose 31 is more about vetiver than rose - "never judge a fragrance by its name"!!

I'd say Chanel Egoiste as well. Cheaper and much rose in it.

In that case, try:

Domenico Caraceni 1913
Creed Windsor (expensive!)

...which are along the lines of Rose 31.

You could also take a look at Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet although I am not 100% sure that's what you want. To my nose it's very synthetic and slightly urinal cakes, but others find it a very distinct, almost feminine-like rose.

I think Lumier Noir is a good choice for a slightly dark masculine rose. It is more musky and little less spicy than Rose 31, but both are very good fragrances.

Ah!!!! How could I forget Amouage Lyric Man. That's a nice rose, quite light, but don't pay full price for it - look around for a good deal.

I haven't but I am contemplating blind buying based on reviews and the alleged similarly with Noir de Noir. I've had a good experience with mancera thus far so I am willing to give Roses Vanille a try. I also read that it dries down to Cedar and vanilla which sounds nice in my books.

I did not have experience with Mancera, but according to the reviews I see that it is a good quality brand ...So I think if I take a blind Roses Vanille ...Are from Mancera tried another perfume - sweet with a rose?

The only mancera I have tried and own is sand aoud, which is more of a spicy scent.

You can try al-rehab red roses on the cheap (less than $5 for 6ml oil). It has sweet amber and roses.
