Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Plus Plus Masculine

A divisive yet beloved 90s throwback, Diesel Plus Plus Masculine is a creamy, spicy-sweet scent that evokes strong nostalgia. Some find its unique character enchanting and modern even today, while others dismiss it as synthetic and juvenile. Love it or hate it, it's undeniably memorable.

Statement

Our Verdict - Manhattan

Roja Manhattan is a divisive blend, loved for its sophisticated tobacco-vanilla warmth but criticised for its weak performance and high price tag. For some, it's a masterpiece; for others, it's just an overpriced candle.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Despite its dominant warm and spicy accords, many find Manhattan to be a surprisingly soft and subtle scent, making it suitable for office wear if applied lightly. Its luxurious and elegant profile, with emphasis on tobacco-vanilla, makes it ideal for evening and cooler weather occasions, particularly dates and formal events. However, its 'cozy' and sometimes 'candle-like' nature might not suit all formal settings, and its minimal sillage pushes it away from typical 'date night bombs'.
