Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mania EDP
This cult classic is proof that some fragrances are just too good to stay on the shelves. A warm, spicy marvel with an elegant edge, it's a tragic loss for the perfume world. Mania is universally adored and desperately missed.

Our Verdict - 086 Maniac EDP
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.

It is suitable for an office environment due to its sophisticated character and blend, but one must spray lightly.
