Review of Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani White Eau De Toilette Spray for Him by
vinceyeung
Advantages: Ladies love it
Disadvantages: Can't see how much is left.
...Hi everyone, I'm going to write about a fragrance which I think I got for a real bargain. As you may have already guessed, this fragrance is Emporio Armani White for Men. 'Lui' means 'Him' in French.
I bought a 50ml bottle of Armani White for Him EDT in Boots just over a week ago. The price was £17.50, which works out as £35 per 100ml. This is quite cheap for a top quality fragrance like Armani White. I think it was cheap because of the launch of the Armani (RED) TM campaign.
Armani's expertise has never been in perfumes but that is not to say that this fragrance is not good; quite the opposite, in fact! Armani's expertise has long been in clothing, eyewear and jewellery, has it not?
Armani White was launched back in 2001 after the successes of Armani Mania (1981), Armani Eau Pour Homme (1984), Armani Acqua Di Gio (1996) and Armani...

The Other Side Of Armani
Review of Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio by
vinodgm
Advantages: Unique smell, Good for occasions, Longlivity
Disadvantages: Not fresh enough, Not one that can be worn everywhere
...Once again I refer to my gift box, which contained six minature perfumes.
The collection consisted of:
Armani Eau pour Homme by Giorgio Armani
Acqua De Gio Eau de toilette by Giorgio Armani
Polo Eau de toilette by Ralph Lauren
Lanvin L'Homme Eau de toilette by Lanvin
Drakkar Noir Eau de toilette by Guy Laroche
Minotaure Eau de toilette by Paloma Picasso
In my earlier opinions I have already written about Guy Laroche's Drakkar Noir and Ralph Lauren's Polo.
Now its the turn of Acqua De Gio by Giorgio Armani.
As mentioned in my last opinion I was certainly not a fan of Guy Laroche's Polo and yesterday I decided to try out Acqua De Gio.
Considering that this is made my Giogio Armani and also considering that Armani is something that I really do like, I was expecting great things from this one.
Maybe I was expecting too...

BADGER MEETS MR ARMANI
Review of Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio for Him by
Badger_Boy
Advantages: Smells gorgeous, will get you noticed (for good reasons), long lasting
Disadvantages: Is expensive
...Yes that's right, the Badger is going to give his opinion on another aftershave and today it's going to be one of my all time favourites, Acqua De Gio by Giorgio Armani.
Up until last year I had never smelt or seen this in the shops. That was the case until one night I agreed to look after my sister. My dad wandered into the room and the beautiful fragrance that is Acqua De Gio followed him. I was instantly hooked.
Acqua de Gio is a fairly new fragrance for men. I bought my bottle from the Armani shop in Manchester for £32.00 for a 50ml bottle.
The actual bottle is very basic, with a rounded feel and frosted glass. The actual colour of the aftershave is a very pale green making it look extremely refreshing and modern. This being the 50ml bottle, it isn't huge in size but it is easily identifiable by the ACQUA DE GIO...

Awesome Armani
Review of Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio by
Jamie73
Advantages: Long lasting smell, nice bottle, good value for money
Disadvantages: Can't think of any
...I am getting quite a collection of aftershaves now so I will be reviewing one that was bought for me as a present for Christmas and it has become one of my favourites – Aqcua di Gio by Georgio Armani.
This perfume was obviously launched Giorgio Armani in 1995. It is meant to be a refreshing and floral fragrance.
Packaging
This aftershave comes in a light grey box which is rectangular. Aqcua di Gio Giorgio Armani is written across the front of the box in charcoal writing.
The bottle itself has slightly frosted glass and is a rectangular shape with a circular silver lid.
Price
A 50ml bottle of this costs roughly £28.00 and a 100ml bottle costs £34.50
What Does It Smell Like?
Acqua Di Gio is quite a light and fresh fragrance. It is slightly feminine but still has a masculine hint, enough to make sure you don’t smell too girly...

Super chic
Review of Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani City Glam Eau De Parfum for Her by
jennypink
Advantages: Fab packaging, long lasting, bold scent, good for day or night
Disadvantages: No matching body products & a bit on the pricey side
...Before receiving the Armani City Glam as a christmas present, I already had the Armani white "she" and my other half has the matching "he" and also Armani's "Acqua di Gio" so we were already Armani fans! As a self-confessed perfume junkie receiving perfume for a present is always good as I tend to like most fragrances and even if I don't then I normally love just looking at the bottles on my shelf....lol....
PACKAGING
As with other Armani fragrances, the packaging is well thought out and nicely stylish. The bottles itself is a cylindrical tube design, like the Armani white, black and new Remix ranges and is metallic coated rather than a glass bottle. The colour is metallic pink with the logo and perfume name embossed in silver. The spray mechanism is a matching pink soft rubber pad on top of the tube which, when pushed sprays...

MANIAC FOR MANIA!
Review of Giorgio Armani Mania Men by
Maharaja
Advantages: Refreshing, for the Day or Night
Disadvantages: None
.... This is not the type of thing to wear to a business meeting, on a romantic date*, or on the pull** - it's an informal fragrance.
Armani Mania is not cheap, 100ml Eau de Toilette spray will set you back around £30-40 on the high street. For me smelling good is a priority - lord knows it makes up for me not always looking good, so it's a price worth paying!
As much as I enjoy wearing this, my preference still lies with Acqua Di Gio. Acqua is instantly recognisable, and is slightly more serious, therefore more versatile. On the other hand, this is a less common fragrance, so is unlikely to remind ladies of ex-boyfriends - something that happens worryingly frequently with Acqua!
Happy squirting!
*(P.S. For hot dates, Alfred Dunhill's Desire will have the ladies weak at the knees!)
**(P.P.S. Lynx is not acceptable to wear out on the pull - regardless...

Acqua Di Gio
Review of Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio for Him by
vinceyeung
Advantages: Smells Great
Disadvantages: Can be expensive
...Hi. I'm going to share with you my experiences with Armani's ACQUA DI GIO today.
This fragrance came out way back in 1996 following the successes of Armani Mania (1981) and Armani Eau Pour Homme (1984). I have no hesitation in saying that Acqua Di Gio too is a success.
Armani's Acqua Di Gio for Men is constantly being advertised everywhere, particularly in Debenhams and Men's magazines such as Men's Fitness and Men's Health. This was a big factor behind me buying this because Armani weren't going to spend millions advertising this fragrance if it was not good. Neither would Debenhams display posters of it everywhere either.
I also bought my 50ml of Acqua Di Gio because of the positive reviews from word of mouth and from the Internet. I bought mine from Superdrug.
Anyway... Armani's Acqua Di Gio for Men comes in a simple creamy...

A superb fragrance
Review of Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio for Him by
jcneil
Advantages: Smell, Bottle,
Disadvantages: Price
...Those of you who are also on dooyoo man have read my latest fragrance review on Tommy Hilfiger's fragrance ''Tommy''. If you have read a lot of my reviews you will see that there are quite a few fragrances that I have reviewed, I have also done a couple of Hugo Boss reviews.
Here is my review on a fragrance I was given for my 20th Birthday Acqua Dio Gio from Giorgio Armani. I don't have this bottle anymore but still remember the distinctive fragrance.
The bottle as you can see is a very stylish looking one with ''Acqua Di Gio Giorgio Armani'' written on it.
The cap is just a usual bottle cap and the bottle has the normal sprayer that you find on nearly every perfume.
Now onto the fragrance, As a young man I like to smell good when I go out so like to check the latest fragrances in local shops and have had about five or six bottles...

The Code to Women (Please re-rate)
Review of Giorgio Armani Black Code Eau De Toilette Spray for Him by
vinceyeung
Advantages: Babe Magnet
Disadvantages: Expensive if you don't know where to buy it from.
...Hi, this is my edited version, so please take time to re-read and re-rate. :-). www.ciao.co.uk recognises this fragrance as 'Black Code' but since then, Armani have renamed the product and it is now known as 'Code'. It was launched in 2005. I think it's still known as 'Blakc Code' in the US.
This is definitely one of my favourite fragrances and I rate it above Armani's Acqua Di Gio, which is renowned for its popularity with women. I have asked my female friends to comapre the two fragrancesw for me and they all agree with me that Armani Code is better; but that is not to say that Acqua Di Gio is not very good.
Anyway, I got a 50ml bottle of Armani |
