Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Soir de Lune EDP
A bold, honey-drenched chypre with vintage bones and aristocratic polish. Soir de Lune is not for the faint of heart-its mossy, spicy, floral complexity commands attention and rewards those with a taste for true perfumery.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Emporio Armani Lui EDP
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Soir de Lune

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The rich mossy honeyed base and bold spicy florals shine in cool weather, making this ideal for fall and winter, but the chypre freshness and peach allow for springtime wear. It can overwhelm in summer heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a sophisticated, opulent chypre best suited for formal events or evening dates. Its strong sillage and vintage aura make it challenging for office use and unsuitable for sporty occasions.

Emporio Armani Lui

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

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.
