Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Emporio Armani He
A divisive scent for the nostalgic few, Emporio Armani He (2020) struggles to escape the shadow of its 1998 predecessor. Many find it a watered-down disappointment, while others appreciate its modern take on a classic. Expect poor performance, but a decent, clean scent if you can overlook its flaws.
Favourite
Our Verdict - L'Eau D'Riviere Pour Homme
This one's a cheeky nod to a classic, but with a more grown-up, aromatic edge. If you like the idea of fresh and familiar with a hint of sophistication, you'll dig this.
