Emporio Armani Diamonds

Our local Belk's had this in stock today, and I got a chance to smell it. I was pleasantly surprised.

The bottle is pretty -- faceted and similar in some respects to Hillary Duff's fragrance With Love, but it is clear white, not amber.

The juice is also white and contains raspberry, lychee, rose, amber, and patchouli...

I've had it on for some time now, and it is not sweet like Pink Sugar, but it is gourmand, tempered with the patchouli and amber. Neither of those come on strong, just a presence under it all. I don't particularly smell the rose, which is a good thing for me, because some roses turn on me. This stays true.

It's worth a try to see if you can wear it. I quite like the raspberry in it.

The new Allure Magazine has an interesting rendition of the bottle in cardboard. It looks just like the bottle.

I could imagine Audrey Hepburn wearing this in Breakfast at Tiffany's. It is sophisticated, while being young, if that makes sense.

Have you tried it?
