Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Chic

Chic is a crowd-pleasing, understated gem. It's not a beast, nor is it revolutionary, but this fresh, spicy woody scent is genuinely pleasant and remarkably versatile. A safe blind buy for an everyday grab that just smells, well, chic.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Paraty Men

This Armaf offering is a surprisingly classy, affordable clone that's clearly meant to evoke a certain widely-loved fragrance. Bottle is apparently a work of art, which is rare for clones.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Chic's moderate performance and unobtrusive, fresh-spicy profile make it perfect for office, casual outings, and even dates. While reviews mention its elegance, it lacks the boldness typically desired for formal events.

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

The warm spicy and amber accords, combined with moderate projection and lasting power, make it a good fit for dates and casual outings. Its sweetness and casual freshness might be a bit much for a formal office setting, but it's not overpowering.
