You're in the ARMANI now

Advantages: Long-lasting fragrance
Disadvantages: Hardly inexpensive

...a heavily cluttered shelf creaking and groaning under the combined weight of past Christmas presents. One of the offenders is a small bottle of ACQUA DI GIO by ARMANI, nothing if not pretentious. The bottle is pretty ordinary and basic, with rounded edges and frosted glass and ACQUA DE GIO and GIORGIO ARMANI flashed across front and back. Actually, I quite like the design of the bottle - it's quite minimalist and not over-elaborate as some similar products can be. THEY SAY: "Born from the sea, the sun and the earth, and created by a man who embraces nature's contrasts as he finds harmony in them. Inspired by the Mediterranean island haven, Pantelleria, the scent is decidedly masculine and modern with a transparent, aromatic, woody scent." Aye, right! The contents of the bottle are clear and almost colourless, with just...

Review of Giorgio Armani Acqua Di Gio for Him

Aromatic Armani

Advantages: A nice distinguished smell
Disadvantages: quite easy to over-use

...Hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! A Rarity for yours truly here don?t you think? Ladies and Gentle-Women, Angelus is once again going to try and dabble in a review of a ?lifestyle product? - this time being an Aftershave, something that for a loooooooong long time I didn?t bother using, then I was convinced to try out Aqua Di Gio out and never looked back from there. Anyway onto the actual product itself, Aqua Di Gio itself was a product launched onto the market by the design house owned by Giorgio Armani back in 1995 and being marketed as a ?resolutely masculine fragrance born from the sea, the sun, the earth and the breeze of a Mediterranean Island? it seems to have garnered a small reputation of being the ?young mans choice? (this being the sales assistant who sold me my first bottles words, not mine) and though not having the huge marketing...

BADGER MEETS MR ARMANI

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 and GIORGIO...

The Nursey in Armani shocker!!!

Advantages: Wonderful smell
Disadvantages: you'll be fighting the woman off!

...Ok boy's want to pull tonight? Well let me give you a dead cert that will get women giving you a second glance! Noooooooooo! Do not go out without any clothes on -have you seen how cold it is? The second glances will only be women pointing and sniggering! Nope if you want to get a second glance I really do suggest you go and invest in a bottle of Acqua Di Gio pour homme. This is basically a female magnet or as I might have drunkenly described it "a most shaggable aftershave". Ok so don't take my word for it take yourself down to Boot's and give it a quick sniff....... So you need a bit more convincing that this aftershave is going to make you a babe magnet then? Giorgio Armani the Italian fashion designer known for dressing half of Hollywood in the 80's launched ADG back in 1996 on the back of the very successful perfume baring...

Samsung- Giorgio Armani

Advantages: Sleek elegance design
Disadvantages: No radio, Difficult to get used to

...I've had the Giorgio Armani for 7 months. At first it was a little difficult getting used to the touch screen but you soon pick it up. The features of the phone are excellent, the camera takes great pictures even though it is only 3 Mega Pixels, and the only downfall is that the phone doesn't have a radio. I believe that you can have 2 way+ coversations usin the Giorgio Armani. Basically meaning that I can call 2 or more people at once and we can all speak in the same conversation. I haven't quite mastered this yet if it is true? The main reason for me getting the phone was for its sleek elegance. Being credit card size it will fit into ANY bag or pocket, and with its designer label it is certainly something that you can show off. I'm quite clumsy when it comes to phones but try not to drop it too much because this can...

Emporio Armani Diamonds Perfume

Advantages: Lovely smell an unique bottle
Disadvantages: none

...My boyfriend brought me this last year for my birthday in october, unfortunatley i only have a teeny bit left now. Is i because i have used so much of it? or is it because you don' actually get much of it in the bottle in the first place? Well i suppose it's a bit of both but it has gone exceptionally quickly though and i only use it about once a week! I have never used any of Armani's products before and using this perfume has made me want to buy other perfumes by Armani. The smell is girly and romantic but not sweet and strong. Which is why it makes a lovely gift for the girlfriend or wife. The bottle is very unique and different to other perfumes so it looks beautiful on your bedroom shelf. I think it is good value for money (even though it was a gift for me) but i would buy it for myself again. The smell stays on for a long...

Review of Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani Diamonds

The Aroma of Armani!

Advantages: Long Lasting, Lovely Smell, Nice Bottle!
Disadvantages: None!

...I'm a big lover of perfumes, take me to The Perfume Shop or Boots and I'm like a child in a candy store - there's no moving me for at least an hour... and I tend to come out feeling a bit light headed too! My latest buy is Armani's She perfume, one that's actually been around for quite a while now (since 1998 in fact!) but one I've only just discovered. It's made by Armani who first started out with a clothing range and in the late 1990's moved onto perfume. ** Packaging ** It's packaged in a long and fairly thin circular bottle and it's of a silvery metallic colour - quite futuristic looking and you could easily mistake it for a small gas canister! It's ideal for storage as it stands up easily on any surface and can also survive a fair bit of battering in my handbag! The bottle comes in a cardboard, rectangular box which has...

Review of Giorgio Armani Emporio Armani for Her

Armani She

Advantages: long-lasting, strong smelling
Disadvantages: sickly if over-used

...----- Armani- She ----- --- Introduction --- Don't you just love it when someone goes on holiday and comes back armed with gifts? Well, I do- especially when its a gift of the perfume variety. Rewind to 2 years ago and the in-laws came back from a sunshine holiday armed with a bottle of this Armani perfume. Being a fan of perfumes, but not of the price tag which usually accompanies them- imagine how delighted I was at the sight of an expensive bottle of scent for free! --- The Price --- Buying this scent in the uk could set you back a cool 20+ pounds. From high street retailers like 'The perfume shop' and 'Boots' the 30ml can be purchased for around 20-25pounds, for 30-35pounds you could upgrade to the 50ml. And for the more spendthrift of us theres a 100ml option, which usually retails at 45pounds. I don't think the perfume...

Armani Mania EDP - One to try

Advantages: Had alot of compliments about it
Disadvantages: None

...Perfume is one of the hardest presents to buy for others as it is a case of you like it or you don't there isn't really an in between. When buying it for yourself it is diificult because there are so many to choose from. Your sense of smell becomes confused with all the different scents. To get a true sense of the smell you need to put some perfume on and wait for at least half an hour to allow the true aroma to come out. Everyones bodies produce different chemicals in the skin which alters the scent, so although a perfume may be lovely on you, on your friend it may appear totally different! I got my bottle of Armani Mania Eau De Parfum 50ml from The Beauty Store at an outlet shopping centre for £24.99. I seen it there and really liked it and wanted to buy it soon. The outlet village is quite a bit away from home so I looked...

Review of Giorgio Armani Mania

Awesome Armani

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...
