Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pour Lui Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper time capsule, polarizing opinion but cherished by old-school enthusiasts. Forget the modern gunk; if you want a classic aromatic powerhouse with barber shop vibes, get your hands on a vintage bottle.

Our Verdict - Havana Eau de Parfum

Aramis Havana is a bold, untamed classic that's a love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's a proper man's fragrance, eschewing modern trends for a blast of spicy tobacco and earthy green that certain types absolutely adore. Don't blind buy unless you're ready for an unapologetically vintage vibe.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pour Lui Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Formal

Also Works:

Office Date

Older formulations of Pour Lui have considerable projection and longevity, making it less suitable for a casual office environment. However, its sophisticated and clean-yet-complex profile lends itself well to formal events and date nights, where its powerful presence can be appreciated. Newer formulations are much weaker, making them more versatile for office or casual wear but sacrificing the 'powerhouse' aspect.

Havana Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong projection and distinct, retro character make it less suitable for a typical office. However, it's a solid choice for dates or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated. It's a bit too bold for casual daytime wear unless you aim to make a statement.
