This is outstanding. Granted, I haven't smelled it in quite a few years. But it's as spot on as I can remember. Either way, it smells great. Nothing cheap or knock off about it s quality.

The early 2000s were an era of bold, unforgettable perfumes, and among the greatest was Armani Mania, a scent that perfectly captured sophistication and masculine elegance. The vintage formulation of Armani Mania quickly became a favorite, known for its smooth woody-spicy composition that left an everlasting impression. Sadly, with its discontinuation, this modern classic has become increasingly rare. But fear not—the Dua family has stepped in to bring it back to life! Arena is our expertly crafted Armani Mania dupe, reviving the legacy of this timeless scent with unmatched accuracy. The top notes open with a refined burst of Mandarin Orange, setting the stage with its smooth citrus glow. A delicate touch of Saffron adds depth and intrigue, while Citrus Leaves bring a crisp freshness that elevates the blend. As the scent develops, the sophistication of Vetiver emerges, leading into the base notes of Cedarwood, Amber, and Musk, which provide warmth and long-lasting richness. Unlike the reformulated versions that lack the magic of the original, Arena is a true Armani Mania dupe that enhances performance while staying faithful to the beloved 2002 vintage. Whether you’re reliving old memories or discovering this legendary scent for the first time, this is the new way to experience the magic of Armani Mania. The lights are dimming, the crowd is hushed—the stage is set. Take your seat, because the show is about to begin!

Overtones are sweeter than what you're looking for if you're looking for the replacement. I have the actual product from the old days. Undertones are basically there though. Not bad, not exact. Acceptable in this day and age :)
This was my signature back in the day. This goes for $300+ per bottle and that’s out of the question. Got this and man does it take me back. Smells just how I remember. 11/10 and lifetime customer now.
I was very skeptical. I have never bought from these dupe brands before that replicate other name brand scents. DUA was my first attempt at trying them and I am not disappointed at all. I haven't smelled this scent in 20 years! It is veryyyy close to the original mania that was discontinued. Bravo. Customer acquired.
I still have some armani mania cologne and what I received smells nothing like it at all. It has a cheap chemical scent that smells nothing like the original.
Got Arena a few days ago, I was excited because this was my favorite scent from Armani. Bottle was leaking a little and the scent isnt strong. I have to use quite a few sprays even though the profile said it was strong..Pretty disappointed overall..
I odered Dua “Arena” since May 21/2026 Until now today June 23/2026. I still have not received my order yet, even though i had order the other one from Dua “ Fantastic” Bergamot .2 weeks after Dua Arena. I already received the second one. I sent email to the Dua support team twice, they told me to gave to wait for another week, until now my package is still remain at the same place not even move from that facility yet, kind of unhappy with it now, too long for the wait.
Does not smell like Armani Mania. Does not last long. Fairly oily for little result. Would return if I could, but the company doesn’t allow it lol. How coincidental.
I tell ya i haven't smelled this scent in 24yrs!!! I was heartbroken when i found out Mania was discontinued but now i found the exact remake. Arena smells exactly like the famed Armani Mania. Thank you Dua Fragrances for recreating this scent.
I have been looking for this scent
Finally an accurate recreation of Armani Mania! It has everything I remember about the fragrance. Love it!
I have so far acquired a top 5 favorite scents among this site and Arena is probably number 2. It smells amazing!
Had been so long since I smelled original that tough to compare, but this one seems a little less “sharp/pronounced” than I remember the the original being, but got me compliments still👍🏽. Definitely will let this one “rest” a while and see where it goes!! Lovin my Dua scents thanks so much!!
Amazing long lasting, clean smell that will get you tons of compliments. Smell the best in the room!
Smells JUST LIKE Armani Mania <3
Extremely pleased. So similar I don’t miss the Mania anymore.
Best smelling stuff on the market
Amazing long-lasting
My husband really loves this cologne. Smells very similar to Armani Mania! Seems to last all day too. I really like the scent as well! I’ll definitely be reordering this!
Great aroma , long lasting
Very close once it dries down. The opening is nothing like the original, at least to my nose. The dry down is about 90% there. Its very close. It is a solid alternative to the real thing, if you can deal with the opening and can wait for the dry down. I'm down to my last bottle of Mania, and this will help make it last longer as a back up bottle today is going for way too much.
EXCELLENT I was a HUGE Armani Mania fan. I bought the clone from Parfums Vintage and was disappointed. I’M SO HAPPY I BOUGHT THIS! This is EXACTLY Armani Mania. Thanks Dua!!
Smells very good. It’s been a while since I’ve smelled the original Mania but it’s very close to my memory of it. I’m still experimenting with Arena but so far so good.
Not quite Armani but very close. Thank you
I have been searching for something similar to Armani Mania for years now. Hours of looking online for reviews and came across Dua Arena. I figured I’d give it a shot and WOW I am SO thankful I did. It smells almost identical to the original Armani Mania. It lasts all day long, even through working outside for the most part. I’m please and look forward to trying other scents and Arena again. I was pleased to find 3 tiny samples as well with my order. Plus, my order arrived within a week of my ordering.

You're not playing games when you wear this. You're Rogue. Let's see: Kurkdjian's favorite perfume. I could stop there. But I won't. Perfect blend of saffron, citrus, vetiver, and amber. It has a beautiful bite I can't put into words. Has almost a sweet lime that I crave so much, but this one has so much more. Everyone uses this old cliche, this or that is the one Bond would wear. No, this is the one Bond would wear. Connery and Craig of course. The real ones. Impossible to find. Discontinued. Of course. This is getting tiring. The original was a literal Da Vinci. Now Mr. Raza cured its one blemish. Longevity. This has it in spades. He changed nothing else. Thank goodness. And it does not fall flat as a prior reviewer said. Go smell the original again. You're just remembering a 15 minute top note extravaganza. This extravaganza is hours long, before the dry down. This is an extrait de parfum. If a woman doesn't like this, you better do some checking. NO biological woman can resist it. Me, my Bentley and Armani Mania Man. Try to stop us. No this is not for women. I'm sorry. I promise you I won't wear Dior Poison, ok?
Memories This is a great scent for a MAN. Young guys may not appreciate it's class, but it is class all the way! It's not sickly sweet like some contemporary scents are these days. This really develops into a sexy skin scent, but it's not overpowering, but better enjoyed by someone getting closer to you to smell it. Top notes mandarin followed by saffron. The heart is cedarwood and vetiver. The base is created of amber. One of the most elegant scents I've ever tried. Smooth, sexy and confident. No notes scream at you - they all just work in harmony. This is a scent you could take a deep whiff of into infinity and keep doing it without getting sick of it - at the top its ever so slighlty citrusy, slightly woodsy in the middle quickly transitioning to the lightest sweetness and musk at the depths. You cannot go wrong with this. I get a solid 10 hours performance and it projects fairly well for 4 hours
Almost but not quite I had such high hopes for this fragrance that when I saw this I ordered it immediately. Armani Mania was my #1 fragrance of all time. I had two reformulated bottles of Mania after the original and they were not as good. I still remember the fragrance very well and I was hoping this one would bring amazing memories. The good thing about this one is that the DNA is definitely there, it almost smells like the original Mania at the top. But it falls flat almost immediately. Mania was multilayered and in the middle it had that luxurious feeling I still remember. It had the base as well. This one has no levels, it just falls flat. It really tries but still does not deliver the full experience. I’m sorry that it doesn’t. I was so hyped about it.
It's baaaack! WOW!!! I wore this from its inception until it was no where to be found. That includes some later diluted or reformulated versions. Also used to wear Mania deodorant. Then poof, it was gone... Thank you DUA for bringing it back. It smells spot on to the original version of Armani Mania for Men!!!
Thanks for bringing back this unique fragrance!!! Armani Mania takes a very unique twist on the traditional fresh fragrance. It's a wonderful scent that offers a bright citrus opening with an amber base and subtle smokey vibe that lingers in the background. This is a masculine fresh fragrance that stands out from the rest, and with DUA bringing it back thankfully it's here to stay!
