Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - First Instinct Eau de Parfum
A youthful, tropical cheapie that punches above its weight in scent profile, but you'll be chugging it to get any lasting power. Go easy on the trigger unless you want a melon vape cloud around you.

Our Verdict - Emporio Armani White For Him Eau de Toilette
Emporio Armani White For Him is a dearly-missed, nostalgic summer dream for many. A soft, clean citrus aromatic that perfectly captures Y2K masculine freshness. It's universally adored by those who remember it, making its discontinuation a source of widespread lament.
