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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Al Haramain - Mena - a woody fragrance led by bright opening notes, with warm spicy depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

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
Best in autumn and winter - the woody, warm spicy profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
Similarity Breakdown
