    I first met this scent years ago at an airport and was instantly hooked, though I ended up choosing 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 it lasts for hours on the skin in a very subtle way. Clean, powdery florals.

  2. I love and will always love this perfume… it’s my signature scent for life, even though it’s discontinued. It’s elegant and tender at the same time, incredibly delicate and feminine. I’m heartbroken that they took it off the shelves; finding nothing even close to it is worse than resigning myself to it. It’s simply unique. I have one at 40% and another sealed 50ml bottle that feel like water from the fountain of life.

  3. It doesn’t have any of my favorite notes, but it was a gift from my husband and I fell in love with it. I remember it with nostalgia and still keep a little bit. It has good longevity, and if I’m not mistaken, it smells woody with a touch of powder, without being too much.

    Anything Armani puts on the market seems like a guaranteed hit. This scent gives me a lot of peace; I wear it in the fall. ✅ Good job, Armani ✅

    It seems like any new launch is a guaranteed success. This particular one is soothing to me; I wear it in the fall. ✅ Well Armani ✅

  6. It’s 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 stores, and I adored it. It has longevity and sillage; I’d say it’s more for fall-winter. I’m eagerly waiting for it to return.

  7. It’s not one of my favorites. I find it too heavy for my taste. It’s not ugly, but it just doesn’t convince me.

  8. It’s not among my favorites. I find it too powdery for my taste. It’s not ugly, just not convincing for me.

    It’s spectacular. I cry because it’s been discontinued for years and there’s no way to find it again.

  10. It’s spectacular. I cry because it’s been discontinued for years and there’s no way to find it again. It’s FABULOUS, ELEGANT, MYSTERIOUS, and WARM. I consider it a masterpiece by Armani, perfect for winter. It’s delicious, long-lasting, and has great sillage. I love perfumes with florals and woods because they linger on the skin and provide warmth in the harshest winters. The citrus notes, like caramelized or candied orange, stand out. For me, it’s one of my go-to perfumes and shares virtues with my other favorites: 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 30 and up, for cold weather, using it in moderation.

    It’s a good perfume with great sillage and longevity. I agree it’s elegant and sensual. It’s versatile for daily wear, rich but not overwhelming (if sprayed moderately). It can be used in hot weather and outdoors since 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 favorites.

    It’s a good perfume with great sillage and longevity. I share the opinion that it’s elegant and sensual. I think it’s a versatile aroma regarding occasions; for daily wear, it’s a rich scent without being overwhelming (if sprayed moderately), it can be used in hot climates and outdoors since it’s noticeable. However, it has a special warmth and sensuality that make it ideal for the night and romantic dates. It’s one of my favorites.

    This is my third bottle. Another exquisite Armani fragrance, just like Code. I get tons of compliments. While it’s not my signature, I absolutely love it and will keep buying it.

    My last purchase. I really like it; I think it’s already become an Armani classic.

    Definitely one of my favorites. It has so 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 great 🙂

  19. I tried 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 like Armani Mania for a month. I was so angry having to clean up the mess. I didn’t even mind it breaking because I hated it from the start. Who doesn’t drop a perfume? I’ve already lost two.

  20. A bit too light for summer. I prefer scents that last… this one felt a little weak.

  21. 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, and my whole room smelled like Armani Mania for a month. I was so annoyed that the breakage didn’t even hurt; I just got furious having to clean up the mess. Who hasn’t dropped a perfume? I’ve done it twice so far.
