Emporio Armani Diamonds Violet

Mostly sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit. Underneath that, juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple.

It opens on raspberry, litchi and passionfruit, moves through violet, bulgarian rose and lily-of-the-valley, and settles on praline, vanilla and patchouli.

• raspberry: tart red fruit, jammy with a slightly fuzzy edge
• litchi: light, watery and floral-sweet, a little like rose-flavoured sweets

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
