Which Should You Buy?
Emporio Armani Lui is a bittersweet symphony - a classic, classy scent that everyone loves, but its modern formulation is tragically fleeting. Once a signature, now a ghost of its former self, leaving a trail of compliments for the lucky few who catch a fleeting whiff, and a lot of frustration for everyone else.
Skip this one. Despite the name, there's nothing particularly 'Confident' about it; just a muddled, thyme-heavy aroma that fails to create any intrigue or pleasantness.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its clean, inoffensive woody-citrus and powdery accords make it an excellent choice for the office and casual wear, despite its poor longevity. While elegant enough for a date, its weak projection means it serves better in intimate settings than formal ones where a stronger presence is expected. It's not suited for sport due to its lack of energising projection and rapid fade.
Seasons
Occasions
Its unusual, somewhat jarring profile isn't really suited for formal or intimate date settings. Given the general consensus on its strong herbal opening, it's best kept casual or avoided entirely for public wear.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Woody, Citrus, Aromatic accords and Cedar, Amber notes
