Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Si EDT
This EDT flanker is a divisive one, splitting opinion between those who find it a lighter, fresher take on the original, and those who feel it loses the EDP's magic, becoming generic. It's discontinued now, much to the chagrin of its ardent fans.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 242 Sii EDP
No. 242 borrows Armani Si's signature blackcurrant-rose-vanilla-ambroxan formula almost note-for-note, but the ambroxan drydown feels thinner and shorter-lived than the original's plush, long-running woody-chypre base.
