Which Should You Buy?
This budget-friendly banger is a divisive beast. Expect a potent, sweet and leathery experience that needs a good "maturation" period to hit its stride. If you're patient, and ignore the bottle, you'll be chuffed.
This one's a divisive legend. Discontinued by Armani (to widespread outrage), Profumo is drenched in sweet, spicy, amber goodness that's pure seduction, though a few find it a bit much. If you can get your hands on it, you're in for a treat.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting, sweet, leathery profile make it less suitable for office wear. However, these same qualities, particularly its 'alluring' and 'masculine' nature, are ideal for dates and evening events despite its low price point.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and sweet, dense accords, Profumo is best suited for colder weather evenings and intimate settings like dates. It's generally too intense for an office and completely out of place for sport, but can work for casual nights out.
