Emporio Armani Diamonds Rocks

Mine doesn’t say Rocks on the bottle. Do i have a new or old batch?

Just had a look for my review of the original but couldn't find it...maybe I never posted one? However, I do remember sampling Diamonds and really quite enjoying the experience, unlike this one. Well, it's not that 'Rocks' is bad, again it's just yet another banal and ultimately pointless flanker. The whole 'Diamonds' thing just appeals to the pathetic desire to flaunt gaudy, bling encrusted, designer shit in peoples faces, just so the plebs can feel like they are part of the worshiped celebrity elite...well you're not! You shouldn't aspire to be like that anyway but unfortunately folk do and this plays right into the hands of marketing execs who create fragrances in the vein of this one to entice morons to buy it just so they feel a little closer to Kim Kardashian or some other rich spoiled scumbag!!! Lets talk about ridiculously opulent diamond jewelry and sing songs and rap about diamonds with no consideration of where they actually come from, contributing to the suffering & deaths of thousands of Africans. Okay! That's off topic I apologize... rant over! I can't believe I keep giving these designer fragrances a chance... 2013 and 2014 have been horrific years for new fragrance the only good one I can recall is Valentino Uomo. Starts out with a citrus/marine accord which develops into a barely recognizable powdery accord of violet and maybe some vague woods. The opening a subsequent hour or so is alright, pretty fresh if uninspiring but the drydown...? well the whole thing is just generic mush. More spice, more definition, and maybe some dryness of cedar and more guaic wood that's what is needed here. Just more bravery is required to make them less boring, unfortunately...boring sells.

Spring, Summer Scent: 5/10 Citrus notes in the opening, aquatic and fresh, get some pepper in the background that gives it some spiciness. More aromatic and woody in the dry down, noticeable cedar. Really safe and boring designer fragrance that you have smelled a million times before, nothing special. Silage: 3,5/10 Longevity 4/10

Basically just grapefruit and powdery violet. I guess there’s sea notes but it’s not salty or anything. Poorly blended. There’s some guaiac wood that I get in the base EDIT: smells similar to invictus Aqua 2018. Similar grapefruit/powdery violet/sea notes.

Smells really similar to the original diamonds which I have to say is the most addictive smell in the world... Rocks is slightly more masculine and deeper which I want to like more but I just don't... Wish I did because it's cheaper as well!

This is the best and most luxurious fragrance for summer period, smells like a brand new blue Porsche coasting by the sea, don't let TikTok find out about this and ruin it for the love of God.

Tried this yesterday, its very much like original diamonds but with a less powdery scent, i actually prefer this version, its usable as a everyday scent. 7.5/10 from me!!

Cant wait for this the ingredients look like they mix well, I'm a big fan of the original diamonds so I have big expectations for this fragrance!
