Emporio Armani Diamonds

This is a pretty... a very classy, non offensive fragrance. Nothing groundbreaking, but sooo delicate. I know it's been around for a long time, but I did not get acquainted with this beauty until about 2 years ago. It was a blind buy next to another purchase online I made, as it was discounted heavily and as it is a creation of Thierry Wasser, who already made loads of pretty masterpieces. It reminds me a quite a bit of Versace Bright Crystal, which I own and already consumed 2 bottles on as it's great in summer, but.. better! Guess the patchouli and vanilla make it a little bit more heavy, where Bright Crystal is even less dense and more watery, but, it's still very much a lightweight fragrance compared to most I own. Great fragrance in hot weather as I wore this a lot in humid Sri Lanka, together with V&R Bloom. Most amazing trip of my life and therefor I will always keep this close, Great perfume for settings where you just want to smell REALLY nice. It is juicy, cause of the lychee which stays most of the experience, a little bit sweet on the flowers, but not too much and dries down in a beautiful soft clean vanilla scent. As said, I think it's classy while keeping it simple at the same time.

I tried this perfume, and, loving it, have gotten every flanker I could get my hands on, in addition to a new bottle after I emptied the first. Imagine my indignation when after my using half a bottle a friend turns up wearing this, determinded to buy it for herself, and then later commenting upon my wearing it :p Usually I can't stand rose, I get headaches, but this blend not only makes the cut, it's one of my most reached-for perfumes. Have a care not to apply this one too liberally, although that's pretty much the rule with any perfume. For me, two spritzs are usually enough. It starts out quite sharp, I suppose that'd be the raspberriy and litchi and a barely-there whiff of vanilla, which softens as it dries down to rose and a more prominent scent of vanilla. Of course there's more to it, but these are the notes I find dominate this perfume. While it might get too heavy for daytime wear in summer, I find it to be suitable for pretty much any occasion, whether I'm off to work, shopping or going out with friends.

Looked through a million reviews here before trying this and THE ONE REVIEW that said it smells like BANANA SWEETS is the one that stood out to me. You know what? Yes. Exactly. 💛🍌🤣 It smells of champagne, fresh lilies, banana, litchi. The sweet brightness of the scent with the sweet litchi makes it share some similarities with "Miracle". It's very green and almost aquatic. I get a touch of red apple and lemon here, along with a pretty strong iris note. These are not listed, so this is just an interpretation based on my perception of the scent. One chagrin for me is that it seems HELLA weak, so looks to have been through reformulations. I'm presuming it must have been longer lasting originally. It's soft in character but appears to have a short life as well. Still, looking forward to wearing this one. Feels sort of comforting to me in a familiar way, like Cacharel's NOA also does. Along with Miracle, Chloè, Idylle, this is another scent that reaffirms/confirms my love of lychee in perfumery.

Acquired this as a blind buy just solely basing on a magazine review when it was first released in my country. Funny as it was described to match a "PARTY"-phile's personality which is really far from mine.The BIGGEST surprise is how I fell in love with the scent so much right on the first sniff. It opens with a sparkling composition of fruits (litchi, raspberry) which is warmed by an earthy nuance that can only be distinguished on the heart as notes of patchouli and cedar. On me, it comes off very woody and a bit spicy with hints of the "edible" rose like the campaign claims. The raspberry, on the other hand, impishly comes and goes then settles until the dry down adding sweetness to a seductive yet warm blend of amber, vanilla, & vetiver. I can only describe it as POWERFUL yet BEAUTIFUL; SOPHISTICATED and ultra-feminine fragrance... Longevity is really good with 10+ hours staying power. Sillage is also decent at arms length.
