Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent for the nostalgic few, Emporio Armani He (2020) struggles to escape the shadow of its 1998 predecessor. Many find it a watered-down disappointment, while others appreciate its modern take on a classic. Expect poor performance, but a decent, clean scent if you can overlook its flaws.
This is a brilliantly crafted, fresh-spicy scent that punches well above its weight class. A bit of a performance lottery, with some experiencing fleeting joy while others get Creed-level longevity - either way, the scent profile is universally adored.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate projection and moderate longevity make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, where subtlety is appreciated. While it possesses an elegance suitable for some formal events, its lacklustre performance means it won't shine on a big night out.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Its versatile fresh-spicy and aromatic profile makes it suitable for most casual and semi-formal settings. The varying reports on longevity mean it's good for dates or casual outings where reapplication isn't a faff, but might struggle for all-day office wear depending on your batch.
