Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Emporio Armani He EDT
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.

Our Verdict - Exceed EDP
A fresh, spiced-up Fahrenheit-esque clone that doesn't overstay its welcome. It's a solid, safe bet if you want a toned-down fragrance that's unlikely to offend.

Emporio Armani He

Seasons

Best For:

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:

Its intimate projection and moderate longevity make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, where subtlety is appreciated. While it possesses an elegance suitable for some formal events, its lacklustre performance means it won't shine on a big night out.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date
