Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lapidus Eau de Parfum

Lapidus Pour Homme: a true 80s powerhouse. It's a divisive beast - you'll either adore its audacious blend of honey and masculinity, or you'll recoil from its unapologetic vintage roar. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those who know, it's a masterpiece.

Our Verdict - Emporio Armani Lui Eau de Parfum

Emporio Armani Lui is a bittersweet symphony - a classic, classy scent that everyone loves, but its modern formulation is tragically fleeting. Once a signature, now a ghost of its former self, leaving a trail of compliments for the lucky few who catch a fleeting whiff, and a lot of frustration for everyone else.

Season and Occasion Fit

Lapidus Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

This is a beast-mode fragrance with strong projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting where it could easily overwhelm. Its bold, masculine character and sensual honey-tobacco notes lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though some find it too 'old-school' for modern palates. It's a bit much for casual wear, and definitely not for sport.

Emporio Armani Lui Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its clean, inoffensive woody-citrus and powdery accords make it an excellent choice for the office and casual wear, despite its poor longevity. While elegant enough for a date, its weak projection means it serves better in intimate settings than formal ones where a stronger presence is expected. It's not suited for sport due to its lack of energising projection and rapid fade.
