Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Emporio Armani Diamonds Her - a fruity fragrance led by Lychee, Raspberry, with woody depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
A truly divisive 'intense' flanker. Fans adore its richer, sweeter take on the original, often describing it as glamorous and sensuous. However, some find it overly heady, synthetic, or even nauseating. Definitely test before you commit, as it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Best in spring and summer - the fruity, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
Occasions
Keep it for casual and daily - the fruity accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and impressive longevity, especially in 'intense' form, this scent can be overpowering for an office. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its glamorous, sensual quality, with some finding it acceptable for evening casual wear. Definitely not for sport.
