Emporio Armani Diamonds Intense Eau de Parfum
A fruity floral gourmand fragrance for women, opening with raspberry and litchi over a rose and freesia heart, finished with vanilla, cedar and patchouli.
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.
What does Diamonds Intense smell like?
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.
