Emporio Armani In Love With You

If you want my advice, always and I mean it, always buy a small vial of the perfume you wanna buy even if you're 100% sure it bellongs to your collection. Not only you will save some money, but also you will be able to test it in many different occasions anytime you want! I wrote again a review about it, my idea was and is that 'In love with you' is a classic but nice fruitchouli. When first saw it I decided to try due to it's name. I remember when first tested 'Because it's you' my 'blah' reaction but now I really have to go back and re-test just to be sure. 'In love with you' got my attention quickly, I kept the testing paper at home and I could smell it in the room for a long time. I decided to try it on me. I did twice, both times got noticed and complimented but then I realised that L'Oreal bought Armani's perfumerie 2018? That makes sense! For a moment I was so happy that I found a strong but rare to find in the air perfume! Now, it reminds me as hell La vie est belle's quality and strong sweetness of La nuit tresor. Both masterpieces, both best sellers. I could for fun classify 'In love with you' as the gourmandise/fruity/girly version of La vie est belle if 'En Rose' EDT wasn't released recently. Same idea, LVEB with red fruits as a twist. The thing got better when I saw the advertising of the newest editions (In love with you + Stronger with you-Intensly). Yes, I am a victim because perfumes to me are like feelings. I buy what inspires me or puts me in the scene of the ad. Most of them thank God are accurate but this time I am really lucky I didn't end up buying a full bottle and having a perfume to feel a bit shy to wear. Yes, the performance is really nice, yes it's sillage is fantastic for 2019 but after using my tester vial I feel like I use a version of as I mentioned above LVEB, or let's better say Si from the house. I don't see creativity but I see a perfect try. Keep up the good work and maybe the third bottle would be fantastic. It's too girly now for my taste and if you read till here, gift it to anyone 18+ and they will never forget you. Very safe and crowd pleasing without being boring or too complex. That wormwood in middle notes is the key! It opens like a drunk girl (wormwood = absinthe in case you don't know), bathed in a VS raspberry body spray. Sorry, no cherry here and you have it as number one note, strange. Alcohol runs in her veins and warms up her body till sweet rose appears and the forest fruits combo is hugged by minty-earthy patchouli. Sometimes it gives the effect of a strawberry/milky caramel. To die for it's the drydown it leaves on clothes. I'll give it one more try during winter and colder temperatures...let's see..

Firstly, it has come to my attention that some noses would describe this as leaning masculine. It is not that it hasn't a spicer, drier note. It has. To me I do not classify it as masculine at all. I believe the womwood with patchouli and sour cherry to have created that depth, but that is nothing more than a case of Marmite- one either loves it or hates it, and not gendered. To me it's an interesting creation because it sets it worlds apart from all the boring sweet fruity perfumes like Le Petite Robe or Mon Paris, and countless others which, when I see, ask myself " Really? That must be a joke". That said, it is super sweet, but done with a lot of complexity. True, it smells a bit medicinal, but to me it just says "retro". It can perform well in winter being so cozy and boozy ( it does smell like Coca-Cola with rum). It can, amazingly and unexpectedly, perform well in the heat of the summer due to raspberry note to the point of me having been able to get a breezy feeling of "by the beach" eating a fruity popsicle. Gasp! Much later in the dry-down I can smell rich rooibos tea with drying tobacco leaves. I know this scent well as my father makes his own cigarettes out of fresh tobacco leaves which he dries and then infuses with natural juices of fruits and plants to his liking. It is unique in the same line as Versace's Crystal Noir, and can form an update on that scent if required so. Would apply with a very light hand, the projection is massive. Magical potion, cannot stop smelling my wrists. I am quite glad from the reviews it has a rather low potential for making it a favourite or a signature, but totally see it as a classic in the way Classique is. It has that edge that one either understands or is too much for some delicate noses. Which is fine, as the perfume is really a powerhouse and can definitely cause some people a headache. That said, I am a quite chronic sufferer of acute sinuses infections and this perfume does not trigger an onset. I have bought the 150ml bottle which is a beautiful square and tells me it is in love with me every time I look at it, and I enjoy that ;-) Now that I think of it, the perfume represents the intensity and intoxication of being in love, combined with mystery and playful freshness. It is like saying I am in love with all which you are, good and bad, sour and sweet, deep and surface level, and so certain of it. It will last.

I wasn't sure about this perfume at first, I thought it was simple and clean, but wasn't overly enamoured. I decided to keep testing it, and now I'm in love with this dreamy scent. This perfume is refreshing, sweet, feminine, sexy... I could go on. It really is a crowd-pleaser. The first time I wore this on a date night, my boyfriend stopped dead in his tracks and told me how gorgeous I smelt. I even wore it today after the gym and my boyfriend told me I smelt incredible. Every time I wear this perfume I get many compliments. My friend snatched my bottle from my hand to shower herself in it because she loved it so much. I smell fizzy cherry sweets, sugared rose petals and delicious raspberry. There is something so addictive about In Love With You, it's just so pretty and girly. I feel very happy and full of life and love when I wear this. A new signature to add to my collection.

Wow, this is beautiful! It's an addictive, enveloping fragrance that is perfect for fall/winter days and nights - it's very versatile, it's light enough to be used during the day but it also has enough depth to double as a perfect date night perfume. It's not a dark or sexy scent, though - it's very fruity and sweet and smells more like puppy love than passionate love. But there's something about it that is almost narcotic - it just brings you closer and keeps you coming back. It's very feminine in the same style as Miss Dior or Mon Paris, for example. This is mostly red fruits and blackcurrant drying down to an amazing rosy-powdery vanillic patchouli, no wormwood on me. Although I prefer it in the fall/winter for its depth, in warm weather it smells just like fruit punch or Juicy Fruit gum, and I love it it too then.

Finished my 50ml today after buying it for myself around Valentine Day 2018. This scent was my first proper cherry, wormwood and raspberry scent and when I first spray it those 3 are really noticeable along the black currant. A bit sour. It then settles into a beautiful softer rose/jasmine scent. It is one of my most complimented fragrances ever, people always tell me I smell really chique when wearing it. The scent projects very well, so spray lightly and longevity is about 6ish hours. Overall, I really love the scent and I find it works best for all weathers besides the heat of the Summer. It gets a bit cloying then. I am sad I finished my bottle, but finishing a bottle brings me so much more joy then buying another one. Plus my collection is way too big so I am happy to finish up something again.

This is one of my favourite Perfumes. I keep coming back to it whether it's hot, cold, rainy. It has a beautiful tarte fruits of the forest vibe, with a lot of cherry in the top. As the scent progresses through the day the tartness fades leaving behind some sweetness with the patchouli base. The patchouli gives this fragrance a woody feel in the background. This is my all occasions, all weather perfume that makes me feel energetic, youthful, playful. It's not a shy scent and is quite sweet. The lasting power in my skin is about 5 hours, longer on clothes. I love this perfume. It's quite different to its sister scent Because It's You which is raspberry with vanilla in the base. This one is more juicy and vibrant. If you like berries, cherries and patchouli, I highly recommend this!

Quite ordinary fruit-chouli with a really interesting, almost amazing opening. It indrigued me, but it passes really fast to it's middle notes and in general it's just a well made Armani creation. It does remind a lot 'Because it's you', but it's definitely more present, it has a character. The red fruits are very well mixed without being cloying or too teenag-y, I can't detect jasmine, maybe a whisper of rose but not a specific one, now I see wormwood is the key that gives it's special touch and a natural body odor. Patchouli hugs the combination without being harsh, indolic or too much. You could say it has a floral heart but as I said, it's just a good fruitchouli. Soft berries till the end + 'minty' patchouli + wormwood = I am not in love with you, but I just like you :)

One of my signature scents. The first time I smelled this perfume was at a spa when another woman was using it. The smell filled the room and I fell immediately in love with the smell. It is the perfect classy and feminine perfume with a great blend of fruity, floral and "musc". I really get the cherry, patchouli, rasberry and jasmine notes from it. The perfume lasts long and is perfect for all seasons! This perfume is, as it seems, discontinued in my country Sweden and I only have one bottle left. I really hope they will bring it back.

This isn’t just raspberry... it’s ✨ RaSpBeRrY ✨ with a lovely big dose of patchouli. It does remind me of Mon Paris but I find this a bit fruitier and easier to wear. Smoother, almost, where Mon Paris is sparklier. I agree with the comment below about it smelling like 90s cherry Chapsticks. I also get the same energy as La Petite Robe Noire from this too. It’s super feminine, could be worn most places, performance is decent. I paid £60 for my bottle and I’d say that’s fair for the perfume inside.

OMG - another blind buy 🙈 I was so scared because this perfume has a lot of 'bad' reviews, I blind bought this because I couldn't find it in stores and based on the notes it seemed like a perfect fit. I just received my order and boy oh boy, I absolutely love it 😍 😍 😍 For now I can say it is my favorite 🍒 note It does give me a La Vie est Belle type of vibe but I prefer this one. Let's see how it performs, but so far no regrets 😊 I love a good 'fruitchouli'

Amazing perfume , much better than the previous , this is all red berries, focus on cherry , patchouli and rose !! Huge fan ! Can’t get enough and it’s a compliment getter all the way. Fruity is the new black. This was one I had to have ,love at first sniff ! Fresh , warm , sweet and sensual , a girls best friend. ARMANI Longevity is very good , lasts for days on clothes and a whole day on skin. My husband and friends loves this.

Oh my god this is beautiful. I think this is a new favorite for me. Gorgeous! I'm sure I can smell some faint vanilla in there, or something almost like praline. As it dries down the fruitiness becomes a little more faint and wormwood and patch give it a masculine edge, but because of the Berries almost blending together it still smells so soft and pretty. The cherry is so lovely! Very happy with this fragrance.

*must love patchouli* first and foremost, this is a patchouli scent, but it’s done beautifully! It’s smooth, sexy, sweet, romantic. It’s not sharp or earthly and it’s balanced nicely with red berries. The overall scent is on the softer side, not loud or obnoxious. The vibe is feminine, sexy, romantic. Very easy to wear if patchouli agrees with your nose.

That sour cherry is absolutely divine, it rounds out the fruitiness beautifully with a hearty fizz. I love how this settles, super bright and dazzling. I can’t wait to add the full bottle to my collection. UPDATE: Upon research I’ve seen this is discontinued- it’s a travesty!! I guess I’ll need to start scouring eBay!

The sour cherry 🍒 in this perfume is amazing ❤️ I absolutely adore it, cold-weather(dry, preferably) type of scent, at least in my opinion. I wouldn't wear it on a hot climate I know they're different but the cherry note reminds me of JPG Scandal-By-Night, this one albeit, a dense perfume, still lighter in comparison

I have it, it's a nice fragrance like a grown up because it's you, on my skin it's more rose, redberries and a hint of patchouli, longevity is moderate and projection is weak after an hour. I like it even it's not really a new smell, it remind me a bit of la nuit tresor eau de toilette without vanilla

I just got this today along with B.O floral shock and G.A Satin. I thought by checking the notes that this would be a Fruity floral. To me, the initial spray is a fizzy sweet ice tea. But it turned to be veeeery gourmand on my skin. I Love Gourmands so I don't mind, but the notes are a bit misleading.

I absolutely love this perfume. It makes me smile every time I smell it :) It is fun and flirty, sweet and fruity. The scent of cherry is lovely. Unfortunately, it do not last too long. It would (maybe) be a safe blind buy if you love cherry and sweet scents.

I got a sample of this with a sephora order and omg it is so nice and feminine. It reminds me of a mix of la vie est belle and black opium. This perfume smells really well on me, it also lasted on my clothes for a long time. I will purchase a full size soon.

One of my favorite Cherry fragrances. Reminds me of the waxy Cherry chapsticks from the 90’s. Not sure if they still make those. The Patchouli in this is very well blended and isn’t too harsh imo. The Jasmine keeps it kind of soft and feminine.
