Emporio Armani She

This just arrived in the post. It was a blind buy for me and... I love it! It’s taking me back to childhood a bit, I’m sure women around me wore this when I was growing up. I can see how it could come across unisex but I think it could be a touch too powdery for a man but then again maybe not. It’s really really gorgeous. Super clean smelling. Kind of off duty power woman vibes - the simple matte gold bottle suits it perfectly. Light, clean, powdery but not flufffy. The citrus is bright and sparkling. The only downside for me is that it doesn’t project well. I do find that with a lot of the perfumes I like though because they just don’t have those heavy notes. It’s a payoff I’m willing to make. Very happy to have this in my collection, I suspect it’ll be a mainstay.

Recently been reunited with this absolute 90/2000s gem and it is still gorgeous. An almondy powdery vanilla beauty that is a little weaker than it used to be. However, it's so inexpensive and easy to spray around without worrying. Works so well in the summer heat as well. I think this will keep me sane during heatwaves. Super comforting and cosy to me, yet uplifting enough to cut through humidity. It's a shame it doesn't have a better bottle design.

I wore this shortly after I graduated high school in the 90s. I recently bought a bottle for nostalgia’s sake. It smells exactly like I remember it and one spray has been on the back of my hand for two hours despite having made dinner and having washed my hands a few times. This is unique and underrated. Light citrus, musk and cashmere. Could be unisex. Cozy. Smells expensive, too. I love that I have this again.

This perfume was actually launched in 1998, Such a timeless scent, doesn't smell old fashioned at all. Very sexy and edgy. There is nothing out there that smells similar. This is not a gourmand scent, most prominent notes are citrus, cardamom , vanilla and cedar. There is something addictive in it. Perfect for every occasion. Unfortunately it doesn't last long, I wish they come up with the Intense version...

I had the original 1998 version long time ago and I am not disappointed with this one. I think it is pretty much the same, maybe this one is missing the tonka. However, this perfume fills me with joy, it is warm and powdery but in a sexy playful way. I wish the longevity was better but it is worth your money. Very feminine, very nostalgic, very sophisticated.
