Emporio Armani Diamonds for Men (2008)
by Giorgio Armani

i love it. got a free sample when i purchased Prada Amber, and i had to rush back the next day to buy it. It smells absolutely delicious!

it's very cocoa on me, which i like (i'm really into gourmands), yet fresh and it's actually pretty strong. my only issue is the longevity, it just doesn't last more than like, 4-5 hours for me which means that sometime around lunchtime i need to reapply.

still, a good everyday gourmand.

I tried it and unfortunately I don't like it at all. Too synthetic. As Andrew The Cologne Guy said...."it lacks originality". To me, it's common and ordinary and follows the trend of todays scents

Surprising. It's like cloudy woods and fruit storm. Cartier's Declaration mixed with a light fizzy fruit. One spray is enough, too. It's not potent but it has great sillage and longevity. Love it!

Fantastic! Armani Code (Black Code) is one of my favorites, and to my nose this is similar in concept and execution. Think of this fragrance as 'White Code,' because in my opinion that's the perfect description for it, especially the top and mid notes. It's like Code's twin brother, except this smells of white musk instead of Code's darker, richer accord. Test them out side by side and you'll see what I mean.

A great fragrance, and the perfect complement to Code. I picked up a sample vial of this, and once that's used up I am picking up a bottle.

I highly recommend Armani Diamonds!

Very bland and safe, synthetic and a little dull. Obviously a very commercial release after the female version. Even the name is a little tacky. 'Diamonds for men'... since when that is masculine or suave?

It just isn't impressive and remind me more of the less successful cK releases. There is cedar, Guaiac wood, some type of citrus in the opening (bergamot or lemon maybe), a character-less vetiver note, some amber at the base with cacao. It doesn't smell expensive nor chic: it is just inoffensive and weak.

Armani never fails to disappoint me, and this creation is just another way too mundane scent just overcrowds the perfume counters. Both new fragrances Versace pour Homme and Gucci by Gucci for men are far better scents (comparison is inevitable, because they are all being released at the same time), and even though I did not have the chance to test it yet, I am sure Prada Infusion d'Iris will also be much more worthy of your attention.
