Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hero
A bold, resinous woody with a smoky amber core, Hero EDP radiates mature confidence and modern strength. Its deep cedar and incense base commands respect without overwhelming, making it a quietly assertive signature.
Statement
Our Verdict - Mena
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hero

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The resinous, incense and cedar richness makes this ideal for fall and winter, providing warmth and depth in cool weather. The pine and aromatic touches offer enough freshness for cool spring days but are generally too heavy and dense for hot summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Hero EDP's warm woody presence is versatile but leans slightly too bold and smoky for sport or very casual daytime wear. It works well for dates and social evenings, and can be worn in the office if applied lightly due to its moderate projection.

Mena

Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

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.
