Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pas Ce Soir Eau de Parfum

Pas Ce Soir is well-intentioned and aims for a unique fruity floral, but the execution is divisive. Some find it a sophisticated, uplifting everyday scent, while others are baffled by its poor performance and clashing notes, with some even getting 'rotten fruit' or 'bad breath' vibes. Definitely not a safe blind buy, as it morphs wildly depending on skin chemistry.

Statement

Our Verdict - Idole d'Armani Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem is a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. For those who adore it, Idole d'Armani is a sophisticated, unique, and long-lasting scent that embodies confidence. For others, it's too spicy, too strong, and even a bit 'old-fashioned.'

While some find it an elegant everyday scent, the polarizing nature of its sweetness and patchouli, combined with highly inconsistent performance (some report it disappears in minutes, others love its longevity) makes it a tricky fit for office wear. It's better suited for casual outings or dates where its fruity, sensual character can shine, but its richness could be cloying in formal or sport settings.

Its sophisticated and occasionally strong sillage makes it less ideal for the office, where it might be overwhelming. However, many reviewers praise its suitability for special occasions, nights out, and formal events due to its rich, distinctive character and long-lasting nature.
