Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Apres
This woody-boozy scent smells like a festive log cabin or a hamster cage, depending on who you ask. A divisive scent that works best on certain skin chemistries, so don't blind buy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Mena
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Apres

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and woody-boozy accords make it unsuitable for office wear, but perfect for date nights or casual outings. It's a bit too casual for formal events, and its warmth doesn't align with sport activities.

Mena

Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

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.
