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

Product Information

I asked my co-worker what she was wearing, since she smelled so heavenly, nothing too sweet, nothing too loud, such a pleasant scent around her. She revealed it's Because it's you by Armani. I tested it on my skin and liked it. Very pleasant, versatile fragrance, fits any occasion. I'd say it's well blended, no single note hits your nose. I am into green aromatic scents at the moment and avoid anything with a strong rose note, but this Armani scent showed me that there are still rosy fragrances I could actually wear. I will keep this one on my mind. Nice and easy to like. Pretty universal in the sense that you could wear it all year day or night. It is not one of my favorites in my collection but I get a lot of use out of it. It can be worn for many occasions and people around you would probably like it. It's the perfume equivalent of a sparkling rom-com heroine falling in love during the world's most perfect spring.

Eau de Parfum BECAUSE IT’S YOU 50 ml - Armani

I love this! Suuuuper surypy sweet, though somewhat synthetic raspberry in the opening, then some rose and vanilla. If Lancome's La Vie Est Belle and Tresor Midnight Rose had a baby, it would probably smell like this. I would not label this oriental, or gourmand. Just a fruity floral fragrance, to be perfectly honest. A fresh slightly sweet raspberry vanilla. Not too sweet. My husband smells fresh apples in this. Crisp and clean with a playful edge. Something that’s versatile and for all ages in my point of view. I have this for a year, I remember when I first got it, I wore it everyday for almost 3 weeks, I even decanted this and brought it everywhere. It's a lovely perfume. It's fruity without being juvenile. The performance is da bomb I would say, this is the only perfume that I got most "wow, I can smell you from afar" comment.

It's name could have been "little hungry monster" or "bring it on" or even better "give it to me", and I still would have bought it. 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).

When I hear fruity floral I tend to think of scents such as bright crystal/beautiful sheer/babydoll, etc. Not that there's anything wrong with those, but they aren't in the same league as this in my opinion. Edit : And NO, for me i do not get Si (EDP) they are different leagues . And a BIG NO, not Mon Paris (Edp) Mon paris has a bit of refinement in its sweetness and development - BIY is more brash simple sweet. Lastly, not a similar sweetness as used in La Vie est belle (regular Edp) either. Not that i like LVEB (Edp) in its sweet monotone metallic flat glory. For me, i cannot core liken any of them. Scent quality is surprisingly surprising lol. This scent morphs into different smells at different stages. All stages smell wonderful. The raspberry stays throughout (which I love), and the longer I wear the scent it turns more warm, musky and soapy on me. this is very artificial fruity scent, with lot of raspberries in top notes. I don't understand comparisons to YSL Mon Paris because to me it smells absolutely nothing like that one. Solid, durable constructions - lasts, projects - you get your money's worth. Reminds me of its big sister Sì, but more casual and easy. Good top-down design. Frankly I wonder why this wasn't a Sì flanker instead of the "meh" Passione line.However, as it warms up to your skin, it gradually transforms into a beautiful, beautiful vanilla scent. But, the raspberry from the opening hasn't vanished. It doesn't vanish until the very end. Neither does the beautiful vanilla. Imagine all lollies mixed in together and dont forget the strawberries and cream ones (quite a few of those).
