Because It's You by Giorgio Armani Eau de Parfum For Women, 100ml

Product Information

It’s a lovely quality scent, has a great sillage, fruity like a sorbet, the dry-down is a pleasant vanilla/sandalwood. This perfume is not like that! on me, it's slightly fruity, with just a hint of citrus to it. It predominantly smells of very sweet, strong vanilla and Amber. When this came out, it made me kind of angry for some reason. The plain boring bottle, the silly name and the marketing together with the male version, evoking images of annoying couples presenting their love to anyone who doesn't care - all very unappealing. The scent on a paper strip wasn't exactly exciting either.

A citrus hit and absurd sillage is immediately identified from the first spray. I can only feel a lot of Lemon and Raspberry syrup, one taking the place of the other and nothing is resolved until a light white floral accord begins to emerge from all this tangle. Together, the spicy warm masculine version embraces the sweet and musky feminine one creating a beautiful cloud of intense seduction and desire. They smell strong yet soft. These perfumes are meant to be worn at the same time! More than a year later I used up about two thirds of my bottle. I do like it, but it obviously didn't become a favorite. It's feminine, lighthearted, cozy and fruity alright, but it's a tad bit too synthetic smelling for my everyday taste. I mean, figures. At the end of the day fruity fragrances are bound to be a bit synthetic. With this one, I consider it the sweetest due to its fruity notes being more prominent, and for that same reason, I view it slightly more feminine than the others (but all in my opinion are completely unisex). It lasts a couple hours on my skin and remains relatively linear all throughout. The notes are quite well balanced as well. That citrusy top with the raspberry is really nice and that musky/vanilla/rose blend in the drydown is so good.I sprayed two sprays on me, and after TWO hours I had to re-apply, because the smell was pretty much gone. Finally, I can see a much greater maturity here, with modern woody nuances and a subtle musky touch that gives an air of decided, eminent and propelling sensuality. There's Vanilla here, but not gourmand, but lush and fava.

All of these characters usually have photographs of real people as their avatar; these pictures change periodically - and I have noticed they are replaced by a picture of someone else (probably without permission or knowledge of its owner). If you have tried it and, for some reason, it was not what you have expected - too generic or too fruity - reconsider and give it a second chance. Allow this fragrance to wear you for app. one hour - you will be surprised. About one year ago I tested this in store during kind of wet and cool-ish European spring weather. The kind of weather, when the last cool of winter hasn't completely left just yet, but it can already get quite warm as soon as you catch a ray of sunlight. I love Mon Paris, therefore I also like this fragrance, even though it is a bit too sweet for my liking, and for the same reason I don't find it unique nor a must have. It has the tendency to be a bit loud in terms of sweetness and creaminess. Especially the dry down. The opening is rather bearable due to the lemon notes. RANT: I am still on the hunt for the perfect raspberry perfume, hopefully with NO ROSE. It seems like if a perfume has raspberry, it must have rose, violet, oud, or iris- notes I do not get along with. Btw this smells like Into the Night, which I know quite well as my sister uses the body cream from BBW and a friend of mine uses their whole lineup of Into the Night.Later in the day, in the drydown, the rose starts to smell familiar. It reminds me of rose in Valentino Donna and also Armani Si. These are all the perfumes that have a similar vibe but different character.

But on the skin... this is a whole other thing. This develops and becomes much deeper. But if you are the least hesitant about sweet scents, don't blind buy this. For the price, it is not worth getting, without trying it first; and most important, test it on your skin. I'm typically not the biggest fan of overly sweet perfumes, but I'm fine with this one. I have to be in the mood for it, though. I would wear this as a daytime fall/winter scent. Very long-lasting and projects like crazy. I just want to put out there before I begin that I haven't seen any of the advertising for this. I just smelled it because it was at my Sephora and it was a scent I haven't smelled before. For what it's worth, I think the originator DOES have a genuine interest and knowledge of perfume and its history, although some of their comments identifying individual notes are so detailed it's difficult to believe a chromatograph wasn't used (or that s/he isn't a professional nose). Juicy, fruity-raspberry accord that morphs into a rose with a touch of vanilla and musk. There's something interesting happening in the machine room - by all rights this should smell like something you'd want to eat, yet somehow the perfumer manages to keep it from floating into sweety-cliché territory.I was gifted a small bottle of this yesterday and it smells VERY similar to Jlo Live Luxe and Escada Island Kiss. I strongly dislike rose. I normally avoid rose fragrances at all costs. But, I don't hate it here. I think it's balanced pretty well. Oh my god!!!, this is just like a blast of love... it opens sweet but not overly sweet, with a distinct raspberry and some other tropical note thats isnt announced, it just smells JUICY. Then when it settles, it transformn in this deeper slightly spicy but no overly so vanilla, raspberry and soft rose scent...the rose is almost indetectable...but I think its in the blend for a different twist.. very nice...Im in love right now!!
