Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mena EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sainte +Figue EDP
This isn't your average fig - forget green and fresh. It's a pulpy, incensed take on the fruit, elegant and distinctive, though some might find the performance lacking for the price.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Sainte +Figue

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its warm, subtle presence makes it suitable for office wear, provided it's applied lightly, and its elegant character shines on dates or more formal gatherings. Due to its intimate projection, it isn't ideal for sport.
