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 - Scent Intense Eau de Parfum

Scent Intense is a divisive one - you'll either adore its mysterious, bold character or find it too sharp and heavy. It's a love-it-or-hate-it amber with a green, floral twist, certainly worthy of signature scent status if it clicks with your skin.

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.

Scent Intense Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

While some find it an 'intimate' scent, many others describe it as a 'loud' and 'dark' fragrance with great longevity and sillage, making it less suitable for a typical office and excellent for evening dates or formal events. Its unique profile and potential for strong projection lend itself more to social rather than active settings.
