Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Melody Of The Sun Eau de Parfum

This Mancera is a contentious one; some hail it as a hidden treasure, a fresh and calming citrus-tea blend perfect for summer. Others bemoan its lacklustre performance and generic scent profile. It's a divisive release, with opinions split firmly down the middle on its merits and longevity.

Our Verdict - Elysium Intense Eau de Toilette

This flanker of Elysium is a divisive one. Many find it a refreshing, zesty update to the original, amping up the citrus and adding a unique rhubarb tartness. However, a significant number of people find the performance abysmal and the scent profile too generic or even unpleasant, like cleaning product. Try before you buy, it's not a safe blind-buy for everyone.

Also Works:

Office

Its fresh, calming nature makes it suitable for casual wear and might even pass in an office, though many reviews highlight its moderate to weak performance. It's too light for formal events, but great for a sporty, refreshing lift. The consensus leans towards 'spray and forget' for everyday summer use.

Office Formal

Despite its 'Intense' moniker, this fragrance is widely reported to have moderate to weak performance, making it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. Its fresh and vibrant profile is perfect for casual outings and warmer weather, and it's certainly a crowd-pleaser for dates. While it could work for some formal events, other scents might offer more gravitas.
