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.
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.
