Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pour Lui Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper time capsule, polarizing opinion but cherished by old-school enthusiasts. Forget the modern gunk; if you want a classic aromatic powerhouse with barber shop vibes, get your hands on a vintage bottle.

Our Verdict - Abu Dhabi Eau de Parfum

A smooth, classy aromatic leather that walks the line between distinctive and utterly wearable. It's a crowd-pleaser that manages to be both green and dry, modern and timeless. Definitely leans masculine but don't let that stop you.

Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:

Office Date

Older formulations of Pour Lui have considerable projection and longevity, making it less suitable for a casual office environment. However, its sophisticated and clean-yet-complex profile lends itself well to formal events and date nights, where its powerful presence can be appreciated. Newer formulations are much weaker, making them more versatile for office or casual wear but sacrificing the 'powerhouse' aspect.
