Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Emporio Armani Lui Eau de Parfum

Emporio Armani Lui is a bittersweet symphony - a classic, classy scent that everyone loves, but its modern formulation is tragically fleeting. Once a signature, now a ghost of its former self, leaving a trail of compliments for the lucky few who catch a fleeting whiff, and a lot of frustration for everyone else.

Our Verdict - 9am Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive freshie- clean and invigorating to some, a harsh scrubber to others. Expect a bright citrus burst that mellows into something more sophisticated, if you can get past the opening. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Emporio Armani Lui Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its clean, inoffensive woody-citrus and powdery accords make it an excellent choice for the office and casual wear, despite its poor longevity. While elegant enough for a date, its weak projection means it serves better in intimate settings than formal ones where a stronger presence is expected. It's not suited for sport due to its lack of energising projection and rapid fade.

9am Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual Sport

Also Works:

Office Date

Its fresh, clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and for post-gym refreshment. While some find it suitable for the office due to its moderate longevity, others report an initial harshness that might not be office-appropriate.
