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 one's a bit of a chameleon - starting out like a harsh, masculine herbal bomb, then mellowing into something surprisingly clean and agreeable. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a divisive opening, but stick with it for the dry down.
