Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dark Purple Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like a marmite sandwich. Those who love it revel in its beast-mode plum and rose, while detractors recoil from its synthetic, metallic edge. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Our Verdict - Si Eau de Parfum

The Essence Vault's interpretation of Armani's Si (2013) - Christine Nagel's blackcurrant-rose-patchouli chypre-leaning feminine that defined a new sophisticated mainstream signature, here translated into a budget reading with the blackcurrant-rose-patchouli spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear.
