Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Body Tender Eau de Parfum

This flanker is a divisive one: some find it a delightful, lighter take on the original Body; others find it too sharply green, even caustic. Most agree it's less 'tender' than its name implies, with a prominent wormwood note at its heart.

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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Body Tender Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle sillage makes it great for office and casual wear. The polarizing wormwood note and, for some, poor longevity, make it less ideal for formal events or dates where a more universally appealing or long-lasting scent is often desired.

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.
