Emporio Armani Diamonds Intense

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fragrance. I for one liked from the beginning a lot more Intense than Diamonds. The difference between these two being that the first is a bit sweeter and spicier than the latter. It`s a fragrance that will stay with you the whole day and even after you take a shower some reminiscences will persist on your skin. In my opinion this is a sweet, gourmand fragrance.. but by far not as sweet as others (like Chopards Casmir for instance.. or even Lolita Lempicka), and for this reason I think that Intense makes a great day-perfume which you could wear even during summer (though it may be a bit too much on a hot summer day).

At first I just couldn't decide if I like it or not. I actually never tested this Intense one, but I liked original one. The yummy rose fragrance. It would sit ages on my wishlist, but I would always buy something else. Then, when I had some money at moment, I grabbed this one, cause it was on discount. So it's basically the same, but stronger and more intoxicating. I like to wear it as 'something fruity, fresh, casual'. At moment I lack something really fruity and yummy, and find that I really need one. This one is more serious than that, but it's amazing ^^ Raspberry delight, he he

This is SO pretty-I get raspberry,soft litchi,vanilla and rose;not much else but that combo is gorgeous so I'm fine with the lack of other notes.It reminds me faintly of Yves Rocher 'Candied Mallows' but more tart.From start to finish it is a very light, bright fragrance and oddly enough I get none of the spicy bottom notes...just sweet and fresh all the way.I have never tried the original so can't compare but after smelling this I plan on finding some.This scent just makes me happy.:)

just i bought it and i love this one...very gourmand and sexy! glad i bought the intense so it seems like it would last longer on the skin then the original...so pleased with it, sophisticated, sexy, yummy, makes me feel glamorous all at once...can't believe there is no vanilla in the dry-down because i swear i get a whiff of something sweet but warm, like vanilla or chocolate maybe?? this ones a keeper :)

Stronger and heavier than I would normally wear. It seems like a special occasion sort of perfume to me, but the right person could wear this every day. With a light touch, of course. I have a sample of this, not a bottle. I'm starting to feel like I need a perfume like this in my collection!

I love this one. On my skin I first notice a sparkling note that reminds me of popping a cork on Champagne followed by a nice fruity mixture that lasts and lasts. Whenever I wear this I think of New Years Eve.

This smells like the original but is stronger, heavier. If the original can be worn anytime, this one is more for night. It has the same sweet smell of turkish delight! Definitely suits me :D

Beautiful scent and it's long lasting to. The original one smells the same but don't last as long as the intense. I notice a sweet raspberry mixed with a spicy vanilla.

it smells of litchies and roses - soft elegant and moder. Gorgeous....i LOVE IT - and i have a lot of parfums as collection, this one one of my favourites.

There is no vetiver note listed, but on my skin I smell spicy vetiver and fruit liquer. A bit sharp, and at the same time, deeply sweet. Delicious!!

to me it smells like a lighter and more acceptable version of vivienne westwoods boudoir! its nice i do like it! i'll buy this someday

A Turkish delight ;) another Loukhum ... it smells so yummy an delicious without being cloyingly sweet ... I could bath in It

My old stand by! Vanilla and rose delight! When I run out, I always buy more. Just to have on hand.

Really love this perfumes. My favorite perfumes all time. So sexy. Soft but lasting!

I was very much in love with this scent when I bought it. Vanilla, raspberry and roses. It smelled so yummy and I thought I could just keep smelling this all day. Alas, my wish came true. The longevity is superb - I am able to smell a light skin scent after 12 hours in a humid climate, even after a good scrubbing in the shower. Unlike some of the other reviewers, this was such a sillage monster on me! If I got too heavy handed with the application, I sometimes felt like there was a sweet cloud following me around and I was intoxicating others around me. Definitely not recommended for work but would be a great nighttime scent! Well, too much of a good thing is bad. After getting through half the bottle, I got tired of this one and decided to swap it away.

Diamonds Intense is a very dense and concentrated version of the original, smelling exactly like Diamonds, just heavier and longer lasting... hence the “intense” part. It’s a very sweet, somewhat powdery lychee-raspberry concoction with a robust woody base. Diamonds was an old high school stand-by for me back in 2006, and I wanted to relive it and get the intense version. There's certainly more mystery to it than the og. The heavily synthetic opening puts me off, but all is well when it settles after about 10 minutes.

Denser version of the original Diamonds, which was fresher and more sparkly. This one is sweeter and more syrupy, like a raspberry liqueur in a wooden liquor cupboard. On my skin it comes out fruity, syrupy but in quite soft way and lasting. It is glamorous in an old fashioned way, like an elegant woman from the 30s era. This is not a fragrance for everyday, at least not for me, but it is unique and outstanding in some aspects, you wouldn't find a similar fragrance to it, except the original of course.

It does smell like the original, only cranked up to 11. Personally I find that part of the allure of the original is in its relative sheerness, there is something becoming about the breathing room given to the raspberry and litchi in the composition. Here that aspect is gone, and while I love the original, this is only a like.

Really nice fragrance, had it few years ago. Other day i blind bought Nina Ricci L'extase and all the time smelling it, it reminded me of some fragrance, i needed some time to figure it out, but is the same as this one Armani Diamonds intense. Nina Ricci L'extase is a cheaper version of this.

In my opinion it stands out among Diamonds Black Carat and the original Diamonds. Personally I prefer Diamonds Intense as it is more sparkling and inspiring and perhaps with more sugar.
