Which Should You Buy?
Mena is a scent that provokes strong reactions. Prepare yourself for an orthodox church in a bottle, a rich, resinous amber and sandalwood affair. Some find it a spiritual masterpiece, others a challenging, even 'soiled nappy' scent. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance.
This perfume oil is a divisive character - some hail it as an amber heaven and brilliant Baccarat 540 alternative, while others find it a musty, medicinal disaster. If it works with your skin chemistry, it's a steal.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Its rich, resinous character and significant projection make it unsuitable for an office setting. However, the luxurious, warm amber and sandalwood make it an ideal choice for a date or formal evening, while being a bit too heavy for casual daytime wear.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, as an oil, make it less suitable for office wear. However, the warm, sensual accords are perfect for date nights and can add a luxurious touch to formal events, as long as applied sparingly. It's a bit much for casual daytime use or sport.
