Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Emporio Armani Lei
A divisive yet iconic '90s classic, Lei splits opinion between a musky, unisex dream and a dusty, old-fashioned nightmare. Love it or hate it, its powdery-vanilla heart evokes serious nostalgia for many.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Naomagic
A lost gem from the Y2K era, Naomagic is a surprisingly mature and unique powdery vanilla floral that’s inspired a devoted following (and some rather intense longing) since its untimely discontinuation. You either get it or you don't - there's little middle ground here, and a lot of nostalgia.

Lei's clean, subtle, and moderate sillage makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear without overwhelming. The warm, creamy dry-down lends itself to date nights, but its understated nature might be too casual for very formal events. It's too soft for sport.
