"Diamonds are a girl's best friend" and never was there a more true statement!
I received for Christmas last year some vouchers for Boots, and had originally planned to treat myself to a new hairdryer with them, that is until one of my work colleagues came in smelling lovely of a new perfume her boyfriend had treated her to for her 21st birthday. I had a little squirt and loved it there and then. So off I went to Boots to treat myself to some courtesy of my kind friend (the one who gave me the vouchers)
Emporio Armani Diamonds is a beautiful fragrance endorsed on the tv ads by the gorgeous Beyonce. It is a fresh, floral, sexy scent with a fruity aroma too.
It comes in 3 sizes of bottle 30ml for £28, 50ml for £38, and 100ml for £52.(prices are from Boots but shop around you may get it cheaper) Mines is the 50ml bottle which I was pleasantly surprised came with a free 200ml bottle of the Body lotion. Not a bad bargain indeed...not sure if this is ongoing though you would need to check with your store.
The box is white with a smattering of "diamonds" around it, of course these aren't real diamonds just an effect added to the design. The bottle itself is adorable and looks lovely on my dressing room, although it is usually in the bottom of my bag on a regular basis as it is my most used perfume at the moment. The bottle is designed to look like a large diamond that can sit in the palm of your hand, it is a glass bottle which is multi-faceted, with a silver square shaped push down spray top. The trademark Armani eagle is emblazoned on the front of the bottle.
As with any or at least most perfumes, this is really strong when you first spray it, so use it sparingly, I recommend spraying the air a little and walking into it. If I do spray it directly on I do l make sure I leave enough time before leaving the house so that I don't smell like a perfume shop! The main smell is that of a freshly picked rose, and usually I am not a flowery kind of person but I do really like this, maybe because of the fruity undertones, of raspberries and litchi(lychees perhaps?) According to Boots website this also has a woody, amber scent which is a good way of describing it as I am quite hopeless at describing smells, but woody does sound about right...so we've got, flowery, fruity and woody.....definitely a feminine fragrance that even my male colleagues have commented on a few times saying it did smell good enough to come closer for another sniff....I believe one of them even bought a bottle for his girlfriend!
It is definitely an anytime perfume, you could easily wear this everyday for work (I do) and it is also feminine and sexy enough for you to carry it on for evening wear or special occasions too.
I have found this perfume to be quite longwearing too, I usually apply mine before 8am and can still smell it quite well by mid afternoon and if I don't apply more then It is still there at the end of the day albeit faintly...I do tend to top up though mid afternoon so it's still nice and strong by bathtime that night.
Wearing a nice perfume makes me feel good about myself and I believe that if you feel good about yourself then you look good too. I would recommend this perfume for women of all ages, my friend at work is only 21 and wears this, and I am 34 and love it, my almost 60yr mum has even had a few squirts occasionally too and thinks it is lovely. I think it is great value for money, especially the bigger bottles, and even more so if you manage to get a free gift with it too as I did. So ladies drop your partners, husbands, sons a hint and let them know about this perfume....I don't think you'll regret it.
Thanks for reading Michelle (Mar08)

gourmand fragrance to give a stone a flavor and to a woman a self confident and audacious feeling. The rose, a symbol of femininity is made edible and succulent through the addition of a touch of litchi and raspberry. Of course, an Emporio Armani sexiness is achieved through the combination of woods and amber. A sparkling, juicy, irresistible, absolutely feminine and assertive fragrance is born. The precious scent encased in a sculpted, sparkling block of glimmering glass. Engraved at its center, the unmistakable Emporio Armani eagle. A diamond in your palm, accessible, immediate, truly a girl?s best friend.
