Which Should You Buy?
This one's a blast from the past for many. A fresh, grassy green number with surprising bite, City Glam for Him was adored in its day, but its weak performance is a common complaint. A definite 'if you know, you know' kind of scent.
A budget take on Emporio Armani City Glam for Him. The bitter-orange-and-mint freshness over a soft vetiver-musk base captures that clean woody-spicy character, and since the original itself was a weak performer the dupe loses little - it just wears a touch flatter and skin-closer.

Seasons
Bright citrus, mint and green vetiver are made for warm spring and summer days.
Occasions
