iDiva

Holy Smokes! I have been eyeing IDIVA (pink) for about a year. Not compulsive or anything. But, I finally bought it online. I'm both pissed and delighted. Delighted because it's absolutely lovely and Elegant. I'm pissed because I thought it would smell like Armani Code. It doesn't. It smells more like Elie Saab Le Parfüme Intense. Not exactly. But,an 85% match. It's not the commercial run-of-the-mill Paco Rabanne Lady Million interpretation. Nor does it smell like Code. (A little bit because they all have that same Orange, honey floral thing) but, I've been paying ALOT of money for Elie Saab Intense. I could have bought this. But, if you like Elie Saab Le Parfüme, or Armani Code. You'll love this. It's a very very nice perfüme. I'm really digging this ARMAF Perfume House.

Nothing like Armani Code. I agree it is 85% Ellie Saab clone. I think the 15% is the synthetic orange blossom notes. I also agree it is elegant, lovely, floral. I good day to day fragrance. Sadly longevity is such a disappointment...If you like Ellie Saab i guess you can try blind buying it, but as I said don't expect longevity nor silage.

iDiva by Armaf, I was really expecting a clone of some popular mainstream scent in the direction of Armani Code or PR Lady Million... However it's not... iDiva surprisingly does not remind me of any other fragrance I have tried before, but it surely is nice! It's fairly linear from top to dry-down with the only difference that in the top I get more fruity notes combined with honey and floral notes and in the dry-down the fruity notes make place for a pleasant, slightly powdery sandalwood note and a hint of cedar. Ylang Ylang appears to be the strongest floral accent here shadowed by Orange Blossom and Jasmine. Rose? Maybe... Patchouli? Non existent in my perception. Honey lends a sweet and smooth texture through the entire scent life. Sometimes I can't help but thinking I also sense a subtle vanilla and almond note. Projection seems strong when just applied, but in 30 minutes sets closer to the skin. Longevity could be better, I get around 3 to 4 hours only. ♥♥♥
