Summer Mania Homme

The citric opening is a softer style of citric openings, not harsh or overpowering at all. The scent itself is next to ordinary, the easier word to use is generic, but it's not actually generic. Armani has a hidden signature scent in their mixings that you can always tell is Armani. Aside from that, some scents seem generic, some just seem ordinary. Attitude and Code dont have these signature marks, they seem more like something Paco Rabanne would come out with, namley due to the gourmand quality. Summer is ordinary with it's own easily recognizable mark that says "I'm wearing an Armani, what do you think?" Acqua Di Gio and Mania also have marks as if Armani is favorite some scents and using them to represent his name. To say I like this scent but not Mania is a contradiction, and I don't feel I'm being fair until I've compared Mania and Summer to see if I missed the mark on Mania, or if they're that much different and I actually dont like Mania.

There is really not much to say about this one. Do you like normal Armani Mania? Then you'll like this. Take the original and slap a nice and sweet mandarin note on top. Then soften the base slightly and you have Summer Mania. It's not the most remarkable scent, but it is exactly what it claims to be - Mania for the summer time. Is this a must have? I won't say so - there are far better summer scents out there, but if you are a die hard Mania fan you should certainly try it. Longevity is decent - 5-6 hours. Rating: 6.5/10
