Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Emporio Armani Diamonds Violet EDP
Seriously divisive. Some adore this sweet, fruity violet with impressive longevity, while others find it a cloying, cheap mess. Don't blind buy; your skin chemistry dictates whether it's a playful candy dream or a peculiar, synthetic flop.
Statement
Our Verdict - Milan Crystal Purple For Women EDP
A budget take on Emporio Armani Diamonds Violet. The juicy raspberry-litchi opening flowing into powdery violet and a praline-vanilla base captures the original's flirty fruity-floral gourmand; this dupe flattens some of the violet's persistence and gives up a little of the original's wear time.
