Perfumes have different purposes. They are made or concocted to provide its owner with a scent that fits the man’s personality quite perfectly. For those who have a domineering and strong personality, then a musky scent is suggested. On the other hand, for those who are ultimately friendly and nice, they are given fresh scents. Even if they are a few feet away, their presence can be determined, and in this case, sniffed.

Sophisticated flowery scent

Upon smelling the Emporio Armani Remix by Giorgio Armani, a flowery and fresh scent can be obtained. Its scent lasts for a long time, even if he applies the perfume in the morning and stays out until night. Despite the fact that it carries a flowery edge to it, the perfume still has enough strength to somehow “announce” entry to other people within the environment.

Its flowery scent does not counter the person’s manliness. In fact, it exemplifies how much of a man a certain man is because it proves that he is not afraid to be stereotyped. This is just the same with a real man who feels comfortable wearing shirts that are colored pink.

Emporio Armani Remix is very suitable for the men to wear even during the day. In fact, men feel much more comfortable with the crisp smell because it attracts pleasantness for the whole day.

A unique smell

The fact that not many people actually use this perfume makes it a very unique scent. It piques the curiosity of the people after getting to smell it since they have not ever smelled this divine yet strong enough scent before.

What truly make this perfume unique are its key components. For the top components, Emporio Armani Remix has bergamot, cardamom and basil. For the middle base fragrances are only two components, the mace and the lily of the valley. And for the third, licorice, vetiver and white musk are added as notes.

What the customers have to say

Some men who have already tried Emporio Armani Remix like the starting point of the perfume, which is a lemonesque scent that goes along with a pleasurable tinge of basil. According to what they have to say, this perfume is more feminine than masculine, especially because of the presence of the licorice. Although they admit that it smells rather very manly from the bottle, once they expose themselves, with the perfume on, to outside air, the licorice shines through.

But for most of those who have the Emporio Armani Remix on their tables, they like the presence of the licorice. For them, it is merely a fresher version of a masculine scent. The licorice might just be there but its scent is not at all dominant.

Inside the perfect bottle

The casing of the Emporio Armani Remix is coated with plastic. It is long and is perfect for men who live such hectic lives.

Since it is not made up of glass, then it can be tossed anywhere without having to worry about shattering the bottle into shards of glass.

The perfume’s bottle looks very nice because of the attractive silver and lilac combinations. Also, it is made slim so that its owner will not have a hard time holding it. Apart from being user-friendly in terms of handling the bottle, it also does not take up lots of room inside the bag.

The price

The price of thirty-two dollars for the bottle that measures fifty milliliters is already a good buy. But what Emporio Armani Remix lovers usually purchase is the bigger bottle that can carry up to one hundred milliliters for only sixty-one dollars. This bigger bottle can be used up for one whole year, even when it is applied everyday. Even at one year’s usage, the perfume still retains its scent and corresponding strength.

Armani Code

From Black Code, the name was changed into the Armani Code back in 2005.  The oriental tinge of this scent is mixed with a smokey smell.

The fragrances that were combined to come up with heavenly smells are guiac wood, tonka beans and tobacco. The perfume’s dry down is almost the same with that of last week except for the Gucci appeal of the fragrances.

Key fragrances

In this fragrance’s top notes are the bergamot and lemon. With such a tandem, it is expected to smell more like a frag. But it fails to reach its common expectations because it is somehow an impressive fragrance in its own way. Many try to copy this scent, but they just cannot ape the specific powdery and sweet element, with some woody hints because it is the Armani Black Code’s twist. The citrus scent is also due to the olive flower plus the guiac wood.

Although the general aroma is more right for daywear, it can still be utilized for when the person goes clubbing at the time.

The scent

At first, the scent of the Black Code is not at all noticeable. Some say that it smells sweet but the sweetness does not retain a person’s interest. However, the longer the person wore the perfume, the more the person liked the fragrance. It seems like with Black Code, time makes the heart grow fonder.

It is definitely a solid scent. Although it is not a very classy fragrance, it is still far from being generic. The sweetness it carries is not too strong for its own good but it seems to last even longer than the inexpensive perfumes which makes this whole scent actually worth the while.

There is no after-smell.

There is no after-smell associated with its scent, unlike most oriental fragrances. There are no dramatic reactions with this one, but there is no changing of the fact that it is definitely a solid scent.

What customers have to say

Most of the Armani Black Code’s customers are pleased with the product. There is a smoky coffee scent that has a subtlety of chocolate. But what truly comes out and is immediately noticed is the anise. The anise, upon first smelling the scent, is all that they get from the scent. The anise overload deletes the gourmandish effect the scent has the potential to offer.

The fragrance provides warmth, sensuality and subtle sweetness. Additionally, freshness is included in the concoction. Basically, with fragrances like the ones this has for notes, and the effects it has on people, this combination of scents is very unlikely to actually offend anyone. This kind of effect might not be attained at first though; it takes a little more time before the good aroma kicks in. But still, the whole perfume is not a bland one.

For the white parties

According to Armani Black Code users, they usually use the perfume in the evening during formal affairs. But still, it is a fragrance that can be worn anytime and anywhere.

It has a nice and spicy aroma, but is still very elegant. However, many say that the spiciness of the scent is only mistaken for the synthetic smell. The dry down leads to a sweet and floral finish. With such characteristics, it can be determined that Armani Black Code is an oriental type of fragrance. This makes the fragrance a gourmand. The fragrance gets to stay for as long as six hours on the skin.

Giorgio Armani started to become a popular name in the household when he was given the opportunity to dress Richard Gere for the movie, American Gigolo. But his fame as a designer was long before this movie was even thought about. His label started out in the year 1974, and since then, he has been successful.

He is a world-known fashion designer from Italy best known for his wonderful and sophisticated designs for men’s wear. After some time, he then proceeded to making fragrances that have also been known all over the world as the classics.

Well, for starters, the Armani is regarded by many to be expensive. At least, it smells expensive too. Unlike cheap-smelling perfumes but cost a fortune. The Armani carries a strong smell which oftentimes overwhelms those who are in the immediate environment. The overwhelming part is perhaps due to the patchouli fragrance that is added to the Armani composition. The usual price per bottle of this perfume is a good excuse to use the liquid sparingly.

The smaller bottle costs fifty dollars and can be discounted up to forty-four dollars. The bigger bottle is usually sold at seventy dollars and can be purchased at a great discount for fifty-six dollars. Although the discounted prices are still expensive, the fact that they are already great buys cannot be neglected.

The best way of applying perfume

Many do not actually know the right and best way of putting on perfume, regardless of what kind of perfume it is. They just spray it on their bodies, clothes and hair. This method is the main reason why the perfume overwhelms the nostrils. It is simply not applied in the proper way.

To put on perfume the right way, the person just has to spray a single pump into the air right in front of him. Afterwards, he steps into the mist. The perfume obtained from this method is basically all that a man needs, especially with a perfume as strong as the Armani.

Best for nighttime

The Armani is not best for day wear. It is perfect for formal events because its fragrance just screams class and sophistication. Although it can be worn in the morning if the perfume owner really feels like it, but doing so is not at all proper.

The Armani is simply the perfect scent for perfect gentlemen since it provides a classic and solid touch. Also, it is much more convenient for the men because of its little packaging. It can be used by those men who love to travel, either for business or pleasure.

Fragrances used

The scent of the Armani is actually a citrus scent that smells clean. There are notes of patchouli, cedar, lavender, bergamot, nutmeg, and clove. This kind of combination makes the perfume a perfect match for evening attire. The patchouli is the one responsible for the strong and overwhelming scent of the Armani.

What customers have to say

Some believe that it is nice to have an Armani bottle in the collection of perfumes. In fact, it is perhaps a must that they have an Armani in their collection. However, they have stated that this perfume is not for show because it is far too musky for its own good. The strength is just too overwhelming both for the user and the surrounding people that it makes some people dizzy and throw up.

For others, the Armani is best for a romantic date at night. This is perhaps due to the presence of aromatic woods. This further exemplifies the necessity for a gentleman to have this in his collection.

The scent of the Acqua di Gio is inspired by Giorgio Armani’s holiday vacation in the island of Pantelleria. All summer long, he was just relaxing and enjoying the freedom associated with that particular isle.

Fragrances used

After Giorgio Armani finally came up with a wonderful scent that is Acqua di Gio, the perfume got its high quality status because of the perfect harmony of the sweet and fruity components from the Muscat grapes that actually came from Pantelleria, plus some notes from pineapple and citrus fruits, along with the aquatic fragrances.

The watermelon fragrance blends nicely with the freesia, ylang-ylang and hyacinth. Acqua di Gio has a Mediterranean fragrance as well because of the woody and musky base notes.

The floweriness of the top notes is too overwhelming. Oftentimes the scents cannot be separately distinguished anymore because of the mixture of different floral fragrances. However, the middle notes are very lovely, and they are the ones that stay the longest. With this said, the perfume Acqua di Gio must not be judged when it is still a few minutes into the perfume.

Perfume history

Acqua di Gio was actually concocted in the year 1995. The one responsible for this awesome smell is perfume expert Alberto Morillas.

What the customers have to say

Some customers do not like the scent of the perfume. They say that the floral tinge is not merely a tinge because it was far too overpowering. Upon first smelling the perfume, there is a choking or suffocating response of the body because it overwhelms the nostrils. In fact, some even say as bad as getting to smell a combination of hundreds of different flowers and toilet bowl cleaners.

However, there are also those who love the scent because of the refreshing it provides due to the clean and fruity fragrance. In fact, it makes them reminisce about their memorable summer times.

For some, it may seem boring and may smell like a synthetic perfume only. But for others, the Acqua di Gio is a mood-changing scent, making the customers feel much happier and relaxed as compared to before they put on the perfume. Simply put, for some Acqua di Gio users, this particular perfume is summer inside a perfume bottle.

Quite a number of men love Acqua di Gio because they claim that a big number of women have already complimented them because of the fragrance. In fact, they say that its scent makes the senses of the women tingle.

However, such response from the women might not stay for long because the fragrance tends to disappear quickly. Testimonies saying that they had to put on about six or seven sprays, but still people from the immediate environment cannot smell it after a few minutes anymore.

They say that they cannot really tell how the perfume smells on them because the scent disappears right away. They simply cannot smell it for themselves.

For other men, they are thankful that the women notice the scent and the fact that they smell expensive, and hopefully good. But they believe that this is basically because Acqua di Gio is a popular buy and is, in fact, already common in the world.

Many believe that the fragrances that stand out and make a huge population purchase the perfume is the fragrance of the lilac, peony and the musk. It is a fact that these components are usually added to the concoction, to somehow guarantee that the scent stays on for a longer time frame.

The price

Acqua di Gio can usually be bought for $65.00, but with a discount, it can be purchased for only $58.00 a bottle. Saying that this is a great buy is an understatement. This much of a discount is a fabulous buy!
