Pleasant Water For Men EDP

Which Should You Buy?
Awake is a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its intensely realistic coffee hit or find it disgustingly cloying. There's no middle ground here, so brace yourself for a potent, divisive experience.
Pleasant Water trails Armani's Eau d'Aromes, that classy spiced-citrus woody. Perfume Parlour gets the mandarin-ginger opening and earthy patchouli-vetiver base, pushing the spice a touch warmer; like the original it stays light and refined rather than loud, with comparable moderate longevity.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection, as noted by many, makes it a bit much for a quiet office, but it shines in casual settings. The unique, gourmand yet unsweetened profile makes it an interesting choice for dates, if you're looking for something edgy.
Seasons
The fresh spiced citrus is at its best in spring and summer and works into autumn, with less presence for deep winter.
Occasions
Refined and unobtrusive, it is well suited to the office and casual daytime, with enough polish for a date.
