Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - My Way EDP
A creamy white-flower scent: orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose, softened with vanilla and musk. Bright enough for spring, easy for the office and daytime, and less at home in deep winter.

Our Verdict - San Diego EDP
Bright white floral that softens into cream, after Giorgio Armani My Way. Orange blossom opens it, tuberose and vanilla carry the heart and base.

Season and Occasion Fit

My Way

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Orange blossom and bergamot make it a spring scent first, with the creamy tuberose and vanilla carrying it into summer and early autumn. Winter cold wants something deeper.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date Formal

Moderate projection and a soft floral character make it a safe pick for casual days, dates and the office. Sport is not its place.

San Diego

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Orange blossom, tuberose and jasmine are warm-weather flowers, so spring and summer lead, and autumn works.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Office days, dates and weddings suit it, since it is pretty but not pushy. It is not strong enough for a late-night event.
