Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent for sure: some find it a clean, elegant floral, while others are reminded of bug spray. If you can still get your hands on it, prepare for a hit of nostalgia.
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.
