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 - Classic Paradise Eau de Parfum

Bois 1920's Classic Paradise is a weirdly addictive, fruity-floral blend that manages to be both 'niche' and surprisingly familiar. It's a bit divisive - some find it generic, others totally unique - but it clearly leaves an impression.

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.

Classic Paradise Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its moderate sillage and sweet, fruity character make it suitable for casual wear and dates, as it's noticed but not overwhelming. While some consider it sophisticated enough for formal events, its playful edge might be a bit much for very strict office environments.
