Or du Serail Eau de Parfum vs Armani Privé Bleu Lazuli Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent: a syrupy, boozy tropical fruit blast that some find exquisitely complex and intoxicating, while others are utterly repulsed by what they describe as 'rotten fruit' or 'stale urine.' Not for the faint of heart, but addictive for the gourmand fiends.
Seriously underrated in the wider world, Bleu Lazuli is a masterpiece for those in the know. It's a smooth, luxurious shapeshifter that blends spicy, sweet, and comforting accords into a truly addictive and unique experience, though some find it a touch too sweet or subtle.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
This fragrance is potent and long-lasting, with a significant sillage, making it unsuitable for office wear. Its rich, gourmand, and boozy profile perfectly suits a captivating date night, though some find it too overwhelming for casual settings, while its unique intensity might be out of place at formal events.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage means it's generally fine for office wear, though the sweetness might be divisive. It excels on dates and formal occasions thanks to its warm, sensual, and sophisticated profile. While elegant, it's versatile enough for elevated casual wear.
