Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jazz EDT

This is a seriously divisive one. Some hail Jazz as an undisputed masterpiece, a timeless classic that screams mature masculinity. Others, however, find it dated, bordering on unpleasant, with reformulations hitting particularly hard. You'll either love its aggressive opening and smooth drydown, or you'll find it an overwhelming blast from the past.

Our Verdict - Manhattan EDP

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.

Casual

Jazz's strong, classic profile and considerable projection make it suitable for formal events and dates where you want to make an impression. It's a bit much for casual wear, and while some wear it to the office, its bold presence might be distracting. It is definitely not a sport fragrance.

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'.
