Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pour Lui Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper time capsule, polarizing opinion but cherished by old-school enthusiasts. Forget the modern gunk; if you want a classic aromatic powerhouse with barber shop vibes, get your hands on a vintage bottle.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Devin Eau de Parfum
Divisive and unapologetically vintage, Aramis Devin is either a 'masterpiece from the 70s' or 'stinky' and 'awful' as per the community consensus. It's a raw, animalic green chypre that demands a bold wearer, and certainly isn't for those who prefer modern, sweet fragrances. Try before you buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pour Lui Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office Date

Older formulations of Pour Lui have considerable projection and longevity, making it less suitable for a casual office environment. However, its sophisticated and clean-yet-complex profile lends itself well to formal events and date nights, where its powerful presence can be appreciated. Newer formulations are much weaker, making them more versatile for office or casual wear but sacrificing the 'powerhouse' aspect.

Devin Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Devin's strong, old-school profile and often intense projection make it less suitable for office or sport. It shines in casual settings where its unique masculine character can be appreciated, and can be intriguing for a date or a statement in formal events, provided it's applied sparingly.
