What does Emporio Armani - Diamonds for Men Black Carat smell like?

The top notes are bergamot and pepper, a citrus freshness sharpened by spice. In the heart, benzoin and cocoa sweeten it and add a gourmand softness. The base is led by oakmoss, vetiver, amber and cedar, and the citrusy, fruity freshness sits over that woody, oriental ground.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It is chosen most for nights out and evenings, though some find it suits daytime and the office too. Its character reads clearly masculine. Moschino Couture! and Arabian Oud Amiri have a close profile.
