Now, projection and longevity are very weak -the bottle is from sephora in Paris so its legit- but I´ll not forget to try it on spring and I cant wait until there. You don't have to worry about too many people wearing this frag (well at least where i'm from it's not a concern). The fragrance settles in and while it's not like it smells bad or anything, it just becomes a kind of boring, clean and discreet cedar scent backed by white musk and traces of the clean saffron. It has notes of citrus entry and fleeting, almost immediately giving rise to the base notes are a nice mix of young timber with some touches of ozone, slightly spicy base notes are almost identical. The first third of Mania is great, a beautiful fresh blend of woods and light citrus notes, some white musk giving it a pleasant ozonic fuzz.

This stuff is up there with smaller sizes of the discontinued Tom Ford-era Gucci-PPR stuff, and yet is nowhere near the same level of interesting. Starts with the mandarin and the saffron giving a soapy vibe, but very fancy and different e (sometimes It remmember me Prada man). I can’t speak for the new reformulation, but I can say that if they kept the original smell you’ll be happy with this one. I sprayed on my hand a good four times to make sure there was plenty and it already very close to the skin.You won't stand out in a huge crowd, but whoever is next to you will notice you're wearing something distinct, refined.

Sweet but not sickly sweet, gives slight floral illusion (I dont get much of citrus in this def not dominating note) but not in the fem.

Add half a star for the great opening or take one away due to it being such a disappointment when it fades. The notes are warm and inviting and it dries down into a kind of sweet woody scent that lingers like the smoke that dances up into the atmosphere after the flame from a candle has been put out. and im still surprised by the smell after all these years, its still one of the best smell ive put my nose on.

This fragrance was perfectly balanced graphite-amber, citrus, and a water note (clear water, not blue water), pure class eternal. I always try to approach all fragrances with the goal of giving an impression of what the scent is like, but the verdict is always subjective - my personal take on the scent.

As I marked Le Male as a BAD fragrance, later that fragrance surprised me a lot when winter comes here.

Perfumes with natural ingredients often smell different in batches based on the source of the ingredients, while synthetic ingredients usually have consistency in their smell and lasts longer. a coworker came in with mania on and I thought she was wearing beautiful the wonderful smell I remembered. I am so upset I started wearing this 15 years ago as a newly wed- ironic we finalized the divorce this year.

Born in 1934, Giorgio Armani is a world famous Italian designer, known for his clean lines and men’s wear. Unfortunately though, there are lots of counterfeits that are almost impossible to spot just by looking at the box or bottle. In the end you get a truly complex scent, but the saffron just keeps lingering somewhere in the background and spoils everything. Carly summers: I can’t think that it is similar to Armani Mania because I haven’t smelled it in a while, however…we all appear to have similar taste! The fragrance is of an old man, no personality, no evolution, just tangy citrus and some hints of woods which fade quickly.But I know what you mean, some fragrances really make one feel glamorous and sophisticated, like a lady. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive. It's not the most complex saffron rendition, but it captures the essence of the scent of fresh saffron flowers.
