Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani Mania EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hectic Milan For Women EDP
Hectic Milan For Women is Perfume Parlour's read on Giorgio Armani's Mania pour Femme, a citrusy floral over warm woods and musk. Wearers say the PP version feels more balanced and a touch less green than the original, capturing the cosy amber-musk drydown if not all of Mania's powdery floral nuance.
