Emporio Armani Diamonds Rose

I've got this beautiful Diamonds flanker courtesy of my beloved partner. The three notes I could detect instantly were bergamot, rose and musk/ambrette seeds. Diamonds Rose is a twin sister to Escada Especially - both have slightly tangy, yet refreshing opening which mellows down to a beautiful rose with a distinct musky echo. Diamonds Rose, no doubt, would appeal to rose lovers - it is a perfect juice for coming Spring and Summer. Delicate, yet noticeable. There are certain things that never go out of fashion, a little black dress, classy stilettos, pearls and...apparently roses :-) A must have for all ladies out there looking for a naturally smelling rose juice or a shy, gentle substitute of a Stella McCartney rose monster. To me - both thumbs up!

This is the very first "real" perfume I fell in love with. I bought it blind, looking for the smell of rose. I couldn't detect even a hint of rose (still can't). Instead, what I got was pure, high quality licorice candy. It's not that it smelled the way licorice smells (as I soon learned when I went out and bought Lolita lempicka) but it smells the way good licorice candy TASTES. Seriously, to this day, I still bury my nose in my wrists about 50 times a day to get a good wiff. It is gourmand in the best, freshest way to me. I will love it forever.

I love this stuff. To me, it smells exactly like how the original Diamonds used to smell, back in the day. It’s not a special or wow perfume, but it smells so good and it is unique, even though that seems to contradict what I wrote about it not being very special. I love it.

I love this one SO much! Imagine transcendent, radiant springtime. I think, this perfume is a definition of self-worth, self-care, self-love, everything. Wearing it is like sending a prayer to a man you love to feel for you.

Lovely fresh sparkling lemony sherberty rose scent. Beautiful. Wish I bought a bigger bottle. Perfect for work - not overpowering. Ideal for spring summer and sunny autumn days. Happiness in a bottle!
