I also experienced this when I started using Lacoste White, Perry Ellis Reserve, and YSL Pour Homme. until u really wish it wouldn’t last so long… so, advice is to spray sparingly and preferably below the waist (so it does not attack your nose so much). This is a bit like a really common piece of glass, just positioned in a slightly different way thus reflecting things differently.

The opening is all about soft citruses rounded by saffron, with mandarin and tangerine coming to the fore. It is extraordinarily well done, and I can see why Francis Kurkdjian once said this was among his favourite creations. But I know what you mean, some fragrances really make one feel glamorous and sophisticated, like a lady. The only problem is, if I bought a bottle of Mania for myself, I couldn't wear it to work as it's totally his signature scent.Fragrance itself is lets say enjoyable but I could definitely live without this one and still prefer Code or very similar Burberry rhythm 1 or Allure. I actually find it just as great for summer as for winter even though most people find it too heavy.

It doesn't strike me as being especially unique or individual, and went on smelling somewhat mass market and uninteresting. Top notes are Mandarin Orange, Saffron and Citrus Leaves; middle notes are Cedar and Vetiver; base notes are Musk and Amber.This fragrance was perfectly balanced graphite-amber, citrus, and a water note (clear water, not blue water), pure class eternal. You don't have to worry about too many people wearing this frag (well at least where i'm from it's not a concern). I bought a bottle when it came out in the UK and wore it until I had pretty much drained the bottle then moved on (coincidentally one of the successors was McQueen’s Kingdom though I think Herve Leger came inbetween).

Top notes of tangerine leaves softened with saffron blend with middle notes of cedar and vetiver rounded off by an exquisite end note of amber and musk. Versace would lean even harder into rounded spices and toss in tobacco to boot for Versace Man (2003), Yves Saint Laurent would dress these aromachems up in "oud" for M7 (2002), while Gucci would focus on the interplay between the "wood" and the "amber" facets of its woody-amber with Gucci Pour Homme (2003), effectively being an M7 Pt. This may not be as popular as Acqua di Gio or Armani Code but that does not take anything away from this cologne.

Starts with the mandarin and the saffron giving a soapy vibe, but very fancy and different e (sometimes It remmember me Prada man). a coworker came in with mania on and I thought she was wearing beautiful the wonderful smell I remembered. Its potential for seduction think no more than a first impression, it is relatively easy to confuse their scent. Perfumes are often designed with top, middle and base notes, and designed to smell different based on the time after application. One Friday night in 2004, I was on a crowded bus with a bunch of other young professionals headed into the city for a good time.

You won’t find anyone who hates it, but I don’t think you’ll find anyone that has a nosegasm after smelling it. Where i live the winter is from 0 to 18°C and isnt very dry, in fact is a bit humid, then, as it's a light frag, you can still use it. A beautiful, highly elegant scent that is a more spicier version of its younger brother, Emporio Armani Lui.The tangerine and musk here are very light, the amber is almost invisible, cedar and vetiver are more dominant notes. Citrus opener that fades quickly as a lightly floral/woodsy aroma that is fresh, at times almost powdery takes over. After a few minutes a the amber starts to peek through, but it never becomes a really dominant note. Perhaps better suited for spring/summer months, an otherwise "can't go wrong here" scent that, in my opinion, is far superior to the very ubiquitous Armani Code.
