Which Should You Buy?
Armani Mania is a timeless Ropion masterpiece, a creamy, spicy-citrus hug that makes loyal fans sell their souls for a bottle. It's often discontinued, so grab it if you can - prepare for compliments and inner peace.
086 follows Giorgio Armani Mania's fruity-floral-powdery arc - blackcurrant and citrus top, peony-iris-lily-of-the-valley heart, musky sandalwood base - but the iris comes through softer and the overall blend feels less distinctive than the original's slightly quirky character.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it suitable for office wear if applied lightly, and its 'comforting yet sexy' vibe ensures it's perfect for casual outings and dates. The creamy, warm accords lend themselves well to cooler weather, making it less ideal for formal events or sport.
