Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Noir EDP
Rose Noir is a divisive one. There's a brilliant, moody rose and moss core for some, while for others, it's a sour, fleeting mess. Not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing - your chemistry may vary wildly.
Statement
Our Verdict - Emporio Armani City Glam EDP
A bittersweet discontinued gem, City Glam polarises with its sharp opening before settling into a loved, unique chypre floral. Many mourn its absence, while a vocal few found it too harsh or chemical. Definitely a scent that plays differently on skin.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rose Noir

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold, sensual character, along with reports of decent sillage and longevity from some wearers, makes it an unsuitable choice for the office. However, its sophisticated and mysterious aura is perfectly suited for date nights and special evening events.

Emporio Armani City Glam

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its above-average performance and bold character make it less ideal for the office or formal events. However, its 'night out' and 'drinks at a rooftop bar' vibe, alongside its casual 'jeans and t-shirt' appeal, demonstrate its versatility for dates and casual wear.
