Which Should You Buy?
Seriously divisive. Some reviews claim "masterpiece" and laud its unique gourmand oud profile, others deride it as "pure trash" for its burnt, strange aroma. Don't be fooled by the 'sweetie' name - this is a complex, often heavy oud fragrance that's anything but a safe blind buy.
Diametric For Men recreates Givenchy Pi, the cult creamy-vanilla gourmand masculine. It nails the aromatic-green opening and that comforting almond-tonka-vanilla heart, but the dupe softens the powdery barbershop polish and wears closer, trading Pi's solid early projection for a cosier, more linear budget version.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent performance and distinctive, often "smoky" or "heavy" character make it less suitable for office or casual wear but ideal for evening dates or special formal events where its unique profile can shine without dominating. Many find it too unique for everyday wear.
Seasons
The creamy vanilla-almond warmth is at home in autumn and winter, with enough freshness up top for spring.
Occasions
Cosy and approachable, it suits casual daytime, the office and date nights.
