- Pi is warm but linear . Enjoyable yes but it quickly became forgotten in my collection, because i have more interesting scents in the same "family" , such as Dior Homme intense/body kouros/Pure Havane etc...

- Play intense is a daring exotic gourmand that reminds me a lot of A*men ( minus the tar note and plus more coffee accents in the drydown). My complaint on this one is that it sits close to the skin after 1 hour .

My pick between the two : Play intense .

My pick between them and other scents similar : Other scents .

If you'd pick a completely different scent, which one would it be?

+ 2 Play Intense. Pi is too sickly sweet for me.

Interesting comparison. For me, its Pi, a really comforting Vanilla scent. Play Intense is good as well, but A*Men does it better.

I personally am not fond of either one of them. But if forced to choose, I would say Play Intense is "better".

Play Intense is not as bad as Pi... that's the better way i can put it...

Don't like them, sorry.
