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 - Men Eau de Parfum

Bijan Men is pure 80s powerhouse, and it's a divisive one. You'll either love its unapologetic, complex blend of moss and spice, or you'll find it an overwhelming, dated monstrosity. Handle with caution, and maybe check the batch code if you're chasing that vintage oakmoss glory.

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.

Men 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:

Date Casual

This is a beast mode fragrance with strong projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for most office environments where it could easily overwhelm. Its complex, rich nature lends itself better to formal events or cooler weather casual wear, while a date night application needs to be light-handed. It's far too heavy for sport.
