Which Should You Buy?
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.
A budget take on Giorgio Armani's Si. If Scent captures the juicy blackcurrant opening and the warm vanilla-amber-patchouli chypre base that made the original a modern classic, but Perfume Parlour's version reads sweeter and simpler, missing the polished rose-and-suede refinement that gives Si its expensive feel.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.
Occasions
Its lighter nature and moderate strength make it suitable for office wear and casual outings without being overwhelming. While it can be worn on dates, some find it lacks the gravitas for formal events, preferring a bolder scent.
Seasons
The juicy blackcurrant over a warm vanilla-amber chypre base feels rich and cosy, best across autumn and winter with enough fruit for cool spring.
Occasions
Its chic, sophisticated character works for the office, dates and dressed-up evenings more than sport.
