I first met this perfume years ago at an airport and was instantly smitten, though I chose another from the same brand at the time. I managed to buy it later, but it faded from my memory until a friend gifted me a 5ml decant out of nostalgia. What luck! It’s mysterious, elegant and personal, without being overpowering, yet lasts for hours on the skin in a very subtle way. It features clean, powdery florals.
I love and adored this perfume… it’s my signature scent for life, even though it’s discontinued. It’s elegant and tender all at once, incredibly delicate and feminine. I’m heartbroken that they’ve taken it off the shelves; with resignation, it’s worse than finding nothing that comes close. It’s simply unique. I have one at 40% and another sealed 50ml bottle that feel like water from the fountain of youth.
It lacks my favourite notes, but it was a gift from my husband and I adored it. I remember it with nostalgia and still keep a little bit. It has good longevity and, if I’m not mistaken, smells woody and powdery without being overpowering.
Anything Armani puts on the market seems guaranteed to be a hit. This scent gives me a real sense of calm; I wear it in autumn. ✅ Well done, Armani ✅

It was a perfume I owned but couldn’t find again. The first time I smelled it, I thought, ‘it smells like a perfumery’ – that special aroma of blended scents in the shops – and I loved it. It has lasting power and projection; I’d say it’s more suited to autumn and winter. I’m eagerly waiting for it to return to stock.
It’s not among my favourites. I find it a bit too heavy for my taste. It’s not ugly, but it just doesn’t convince me.

It’s back on sale, at least online.
It’s spectacular. I cry because it’s been discontinued for years and there’s no way to find it again.
It’s a FABULOUS, ELEGANT, MYSTERIOUS and WARM perfume. To me, it’s a masterpiece by Armani, perfect for winter. It’s delicious, long-lasting, and has a great trail. I love perfumes with flowers and woods because they last and add warmth in winter. The citrus notes stand out, like caramelised or liqueur-infused orange. It’s one of my go-to scents and shares virtues with other favourites: Burberry London, Mugler Alien, Moschino Glamour, Lowe Aura, and perhaps Dior Poison. They are persistent, sensual and stylish. I recommend it for women over 30, in cold weather, used in moderation.

I consider it a masterpiece by Armani, especially for winter. It’s delicious, long-lasting and has a great trail. I love perfumes with florals and woods because they linger on the skin and add warmth in the cruelest winter. The citrus notes, such as caramelised or liqueur-like orange, really stand out. For me, it’s one of my go-to perfumes and shares virtues with my other favourites: London by Burberry, Alien by Mugler, Glamour by Moschino, Aura by Loewe and perhaps Poison by Dior. Persistent, sensual and stylish perfumes. I recommend it for women aged 30 and above, in colder weather, and use it sparingly.
It’s a good perfume with a nice trail and longevity. I share the opinion that it’s elegant and sensual. I think it’s a versatile aroma in terms of occasions; for daily wear it’s a rich scent without being overwhelming (if sprayed moderately), it can be used in hot climates and outdoors as it’s noticeable. However, it has a special warmth and sensuality that make it ideal for night and romantic dates. It’s one of my favourites.

This perfume is paradise; an exquisite, hard-to-match scent that you must try. It’s spectacular.
This is my third bottle. Another exquisite Armani fragrance, just like Code. I receive many compliments. Although it’s not my signature, I absolutely love it and will keep buying it.

This was my last purchase. I really like it and I think it has become a classic Armani scent.
Definitely one of my favourites. It has many notes and is very varied; it doesn’t always smell the same, it’s unpredictable… but if you wear it, people notice. When you greet them, they ask what you’re wearing. It smells wonderful 🙂
It was a bit too light for summer. As for me, I prefer long-lasting scents… it felt a little thin on me.
I owned it and didn’t like it. It smells very citrusy; on me, it’s tangerine with jasmine. I bought it by mistake, thinking it was Code. I used it three times, it fell and broke, and my whole room smelled of Armani Mania for a month. It was so frustrating having to clean up the mess. I didn’t mind it breaking from the start since I didn’t like it anyway. Who doesn’t drop a perfume bottle? I’ve now lost two.
I tried it and didn’t like it: it smells very citrusy; on my skin it’s mandarin with jasmine. I bought it thinking it was Armani Code. I used it about three times, it fell and broke; my whole room smelled of Armani Mania for a month. I was so annoyed that the breakage didn’t even hurt, it was the rage of having to clear up the mess that got to me. Who hasn’t dropped a perfume? I’ve now had two.
