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 - Now Rouge EDP
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.

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.
