<p>Emporio Armani Diamonds Intense Eau de Parfum is a fuller, richer take on the original Emporio Armani Diamonds, launched in 2008. It's a fruity floral gourmand fragrance for women that leans sweeter and more concentrated than the original.</p><h2>What does Diamonds Intense smell like?</h2><p>The opening is juicy and sweet, with raspberry and litchi giving it an immediate fruity lift. The heart softens into rose, freesia and lily-of-the-valley, keeping the fragrance floral and feminine rather than purely sweet. It settles into a warm base of vanilla, cedar, patchouli and vetiver, adding depth and a slightly woody finish.</p><ul><li><strong>Top notes:</strong> Raspberry, litchi</li><li><strong>Heart notes:</strong> Rose, freesia, lily-of-the-valley</li><li><strong>Base notes:</strong> Vanilla, cedar, patchouli, vetiver</li></ul><h2>Performance and when to wear it</h2><p>Diamonds Intense is typically moderate to long-lasting on skin, with the vanilla and patchouli base giving it more staying power than the original Diamonds eau de toilette. It suits both daytime and evening wear.</p><h2>Who is it for?</h2><p>This fragrance suits women who enjoy sweet, fruity florals with a bit more richness and depth than a light summer scent. It's an easy option for anyone who already likes gourmand-leaning perfumes.</p>

Spray the heavier scent first, then the lighter one on top. Start with two scents — more than three quickly becomes muddled. Always test on skin first.
