Which Should You Buy?
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.
A budget clone of Emporio Armani's He. The clean, sparkling yuzu-and-sage opening over warm woody musks captures the original's polished, versatile freshness, though Perfume Parlour renders it simpler and shorter-lived.

Occasions
Clean and polished, it's an easy office and everyday wear with enough refinement for a casual date.
