Which Should You Buy?
This one is a classic for a reason, despite the reformulation grumbles. Dunhill Desire for a Man is a sweet, fruity, and unapologetically synthetic crowd-pleaser that women apparently adore. Be warned though, the opening can be a bit 'much' for some, and longevity is often a complaint.
A budget read on Armani Si Fiori. The blackcurrant-and-citrus sparkle, rosy neroli heart and fluffy powdery-vanilla drydown all come through, but the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the marshmallow creaminess and strong opening projection of the original are softened.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet and fruity character, combined with average projection and longevity, makes it a great choice for casual wear and dates. It's a bit too sweet and playful for formal events, and while not oppressive for the office, it's not its strongest suit.
Seasons
Powdery vanilla and soft florals suit cooler spring, autumn and winter wear.
Occasions
Soft and romantic, it suits dates and evenings, and is gentle enough for casual daytime wear.
