I got a mini bottle of this for about the same price as a sample so I went ahead and got the mini bottle. I am glad I did.
Admittedly, my nose is not as honed as many other frag lovers (I am new to the game) but I really did not get much bay leaf. The pink pepper & vanilla were nicely prominent and I did get the orange & Amber.
My boyfriend thinks this smells like sun tan lotion. I don’t get that but I do really like it. I will absolutely buy a FB.
vahurovich – :
I am just waiting for the day I find a bottle of this for a good price. I totally missed the mark on it when it was widely available and now it appears to be discontinued! It’s such a beautiful, soft, well-rounded scent that brings me back to the past somehow. Nothing else smells like it, just beautiful!
Слава флибустьерам – :
How many versions are there of this? I don’t mean reformulation. The black capped one seems older and smells totally different than the peachy one with the cream cap. The black cap smelled terrible to me, bought it not knowing it was a different scent than the 2004.
Divine creamy woodsy fresh fall and winter scent that I wish they still made. Very 2000s.
Cipostarfer – :
How on earth have I not known about this beauty for so long?! This is an incredibly underhyped, creamy, dreamy beautiful concoction that absolutely must be tested if you can find it.
I don’t even know how to describe it, but it’s got both my husband and I saying mmmmmm!!! multiple times a day! It’s slightly floral, slightly sweet, so warm and so comforting. Garners compliments easily, is incredibly long lasting with excellent projection. When I saw the bottle at Shoppers in Canada, I had to take a sniff because I had never seen this fragrance before. It was love at first smell, and I bought it immediately. I ripped it open in the car and eagerly sprayed some on me. Continuing on to do some groceries, a handsome man in his 50’s was behind me and while I was choosing tomatoes, he said ‘ I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable, but you smell incredible. Would you mind writing down what you’re wearing so I can purchase it for my wife?’ This has never happened to me!
Ladies, no matter what genre of scent you’re into, this absolutely must be smelled. So beautiful, and has quickly moved into to my top five favourites.
lertalikkan – :
I can’t believe I overlooked this one for so long. Well actually I thnk I do – it is very different from most of my collection and it is also less (in my area) popular than Si and other Armani’s which are everywhere. I like Si Passione which was a nice recent purchase. I hardly ever see this one around but today I saw a bottle of it on it’s own and tried the tester and was surprised how much I now liked it where I had once overlooked it. It has an edge to it.. like a pimento type scent.. and it also has a powdery note. I would say that the pimento note (or similar) makes it unique in the sense that it would not be accurate to just say this is a powdery perfume as this conjures up images of Lipstick Rose, etc, whereas this is more like that mixed with maybe Victoria’s secret Very Sexy. It has a bit of a unisex edge but don’t let that put you off as I rarely if ever like unisex fragrances but it is just something that comes to mind. Very nice and unique fragrance.
Hierro – :
I would swear I smelt honey in this, surprised to see it’s not on the list! To me this is the smell of “joyful”. It’s spring, it’s sweet flowers, it’s a new sunny day, it’s a yellow/orange dress and a radiant smile on a confident woman. I try to become the person who detects notes in a perfume but I always end up “seeing” perfumes more than I can “smell” them. I really like this one.
victor605 – :
On me, it is a sweet, soft and clean powder with a vintage vibe and a happy feel. Very nice, but nothing to write home about.
AugmemWed – :
I’m not surprised this fragrance has been a success for Armani. It is sweet, floral, moderately spicy and most of all – it works for both day and/or night. That warmness and depth really shows when you wear it on your skin. Beautiful and gentle – it stays with you and makes you want to come back to it again.
ArrElikeree – :
I have found the old edition tester. The juice has orange color. The scent very fresh, but has some edges. I will wear it in spring summer evenings. I can imagine the girl with jeans white shirts and leather jacket. The scent is sweet but reminds me fresh fragrances for man. It is not sweet parfume like black opium. It almost similar with CK euproria with some vanilla. It would be the closest imagine for who will find and decide for blind buying.
sergs1979 – :
Hi there! I have 2 bottles left of armani mania woman 50ml if you are interested thank you!
colleyshiella – :
Sometimes one note is what takes a fragrance from good to great. The bay leaf adds a refreshing herbal zing to what could have been a nice, if boring, little fragrance.
The top starts with a nice, unsweet citrus and bay leaf. It dries down to a creamy, woody musk with some very light floral notes. This one is very nice at every point in the dry down. It’s very womanly and soft. There’s something almost snuggly about it.
Лешик61 – :
If you live in Canada and are looking for this, most Shoppers Drug Mart’s still have it, and plenty of it. I love this scent, its sensual and soft. I hope they never discontinue it.
velavex – :
A shortage? Really? I don’t believe that for a second. Odds are they are reformulating it, if it’s still gonna be around.
valera21021985 – :
I want this so bad! Does anyone know if it’s available anywhere in Europe except airports? I saw it at two airports, couldn’t purchase because I was with hand luggage only. I know Amazon has it, but I don’t trust Amazon for perfumes 🙁
By the way, so amazing longevity – more than two weeks later still can smell it on my shirt and coat
anywollubcunc – :
Hey Armani Mania lovers!!! It’s back in stock!
Mishahesh – :
Every perfume I love tends to get discontinued lol I just found this one out and felt in love with it. Will it ever be back in stock?
gajjsar – :
So hey—re: the wonder if Mania is indeed discontinued is easy to understand–because NO ONE has it in stock except a few ebayers.
And when Macy’s, Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Fragrance Net, Fragrance X, and so on, not to mention the brand itself–Giorgio Armani Beauty–are all showing it as not in stock–and when you call they all say they think it is discontinued and hasn’t been replenished since September-ish of 2016–what is one left to believe when the brand itself has done nothing to quash the thinking?
As far as the latter–I called Giorgio Armani Beauty twice– Wednesday p.m. 3/8/17–and again Thursday a.m. 3/8/17–and in less than 13 hours I was able to find–as soon as the brand got back to my c/s girl there–that, in their words, was ‘a global shortage,’ of it and that they would be restocking it soon.
And another, unheard of perfume online seller I had not heard of before–also got back to me and said Mania was ‘oversold’ and–that they were expecting fresh stock in a few weeks that they could guarantee as freshly made 3 months ago–so it looks like help is coming–for those this will affect.
I was impressed by Giorgio Armani Beauty directly, where they, as a brand, actually have USA based customer service by people who were nice, seemed to care, and had a running knowledge/familiarity to what I was asking about and were interested in getting an answer for me as soon as they could. And while their c/s so far is some of the best I have found– the brand itself should have addressed this shortage with a simple disclaimer at the top of their own website and given this reassuring info to all their sellers to put on their sites as well.
SmeabeTumma – :
One of the best perfumes I ever had.People used to recognize me by the scent of this perfume,it’s remarkable and very appropriate for winter time or fall !
Aerohoplenericol – :
One of my all time favourite scent. Love the gentle + creamy + warm feeling it gives off. Don’t get why they don’t promote this scent more, definitely one of the most underrated designer scent out there.
egasymov – :
It’s everything about Love ETC: Sweet, cozy and tender.
But Armani Mania is more deep and mature.
Everything in my head is about comparison of Love ETC and Mania.
Mania is more creamy and Love ETC is more sweet but it’s so sketchy conclusion.
Armani Mania is my fvorite when I need to feel calm and comfort in occations like exam, work conversations or long flight in plane with my favorite sweater and stole.
If someone knows where to buy 100ml bottle, please let me know.
vergilkkii – :
Love this scent. One of my signatures. I get so many compliments when I wear this.
csyjr2005 – :
@plum
it’s not unusual that one brand uses same bottle shape for multiple fragrances (or even for every single fragrance in their line).
First of all Mania is not discontinued. And Code has been around for so long you can’t say he used discontinued fragrance bottle shape for a new one.
Dronatello – :
@KitKat:
I am aware this one doesn’t smell like Code, and I didn’t write so, my opinion was based only on the bottle shape. This is the one and only common thing. It’s like Armani has created a new fragrance, but used a bottle of the discontinued one.
njhufibyj – :
it is not being replaced by code, one has nothing to do with another.
puchkov.1978 – :
Years ago I sniffed it once and put it on my “want” list. Not “a must have” but just “would like to have it” list. And just recently found it had been discontinued! My favourite Acqua di Gio was replaced by acqua di gioia so this one must have been replaced by Code (my guess is based only on the bottle shape).
I was going to buy it blindly as it is nowhere to be found and prices on eBay are radiculous. I found it yesterday at the Lisbon airport (if someone is interested) and the price was circa 80 euros! I sprayed it on a paper as I was wearing quite strong Opium and put the paper in my handbag. My mobile is smelling Mania now and I find this fragrance quite pleasant but not worth a blind buy for the money asked on ebay. At this moment I find it a tiny bit similar to Oui-Non by Kookai. Can only regret not buing it when it was available and reasonably priced.
Really don’t understand why it has been discontinued…
adgzetadj – :
A good perfume, not excellent. Designed to fit the tastes of most women. Definitely not a signature perfume. I feel like it can be easily lost in the crowd and does not bring anything new to the table.
7/10
mihalitsh – :
This one for some reason reminds me of Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue which just doesn’t work for me. Definitely smells like an older composition than 2004, if I didn’t know better, I’d say that this is a early-mid 90’s composition. It just turns into a sour, dissonant mishmash of floral notes on me, it’s in fact almost upsetting. A shame, I am sure this one is lovely on the right person and to the right nose, but I can’t bring myself to like it.
MorafeGlale – :
fruit ish, warm, vanilla, floral, good all rounder.
vvu105speagoessenda – :
This perfume remind me Love ETC by The Body Shop and a little bit of Si Armani by Giorgio Armani EDP . It’s not exactly similar but very close to each other. BTW, i love both of them. in the opening, it very bright, fresh, citrusy, sweet and flowery. In dry down, it comes with light woody, soft spicy and light powdery. . Longevity and sillage are good. I spray on my shirt to make it last longer and i can get 10-12 hours.
ValeoF – :
I find Mania such a complex fragrance, an almost citrus initial burst, not unpleasant, which is followed by a wonderfully soft, delicate, creamy vanilla, which is just delicious. The Sandalwood is definitely prominent too, it seems to change so much on the skin. Longevity was about four hours, then it had pretty much gone. I thought this would have lasted longer then it did.
djjuss77 – :
Peppery/bay leaf opening followed by the most gorgeous black currant.
Subtle iris and peony chased through by a gentle musky amber.
Very pretty. Easy to wear…but no ‘oomph’ and no ‘grit’.
Skin scent on me within an hour 🙁
L: Low
S: Soft
sds600 – :
A very light and safe perfume. Feminine, soft, nothing special yet… perfect for late summer/autumn. Gives me that little warmth or spice, but isnt too strong. Good everyday perfume.
mutabor – :
I used to love Armani Mania. It was my go-to scent for shopping trips, days out and casual dinners with friends a few years ago. It’s definitely got a late summer/early autumn “evening air” smell and that’s exactly what I’m craving right now. It’s not “sexy” per se; i would describe it as “comfortably woodsy” – actually, it’s the epitome of the term floral-woody-musk. It’s a great fragrance, suitable for all ages and definitely not in any way offensive or overpowering. Perfect for office wear and casual dates in my opinion. It’s a real shame it’s become so hard to find.
bmwvw08 – :
This is lovely! I blindly bought a sample to try out because I’m a fan of some other Armani fragrances and I’m pretty glad that I did! It’s quite floral and sweet, but I can also detect a woodsy base. Someone I knew well had to have worn this years ago, because it smells really familiar to me. It’s bright and feminine and I may have to get a FB once I use up a couple bottles that I have. I’ll decide for sure once I’ve used up the whole sample.
Oscilspleatte – :
Hmh, interersting! On my skin it’s Armani Code layered with almond oil. Thus – it’s slightly spicy mixed with cold powdery. Not a fan, coz I don’t do well with almondy-powdery fragrances anyways, they fall flat on my (cold dry) skin.
Longevity – 2 hours, after that it’s barely there skin scent.
Syperdetka – :
Wore this in my varsity days about 8 years ago. While I can’t really remember the smell, I do recall that at some point I handed it done to a friend. Don’t think I’d have done that if I thought it was good!
cheeky.cherry – :
Love this perfume! I was given it for my birthday by my husband years ago and promptly dropped it (by accident) on the bathroom floor – place smelt amazing for about a year! LOL. We were too poor to replace it at the time but wandering through Myer on the weekend I randomly tested it again and my husband immediately commented on how lovely it was and that it brought back such happy memories of of when we were younger. I went back and purchased a large bottle today. To me ALL the notes are perfectly blended giving an initially zesty spice that gives way to a creamy orange vanilla. Smells warm, velvety and very elegant to me. Huge sillage and longevity so only 1-2 sprays are required making it good value.
rus50779 – :
I have mixed feelings from time to time on this fragrance. I don’t wear it very often (a few times a year). It is very royal smelling, and I ALWAYS receive compliments when I am wearing it. I am, however, not in love with it. At first I did not realize its sillage/staying power, but after wearing it to work one morning, and having a client comment on it from afar (in the very late afternoon/early evening); I began to realize that this really does play out quite well throughout the day. I did not realize that they changed the formulation! I have one of the older bottles – circa 2007, and a little squirt lasts all day. I would be curious to hear about what the new formulation is like!
dmitrichenkov – :
The reformulations are located in Department stores, and on Ebay stores. I am not sure about duty free overseas, but I tried in a duty free in Australia. Now it was a watered down version. Once it was a robust, multi-layered fragrance. Unfortunately, we are only buying a shadow, of its former glory. The lucky ones have the vintage mania, which is still orange, but far better and lasts longer. If you like a perfume to last 2 hrs which is quite strong, then this is for you. I am disappointed in this Armani, because I have the 1982 Armani fragrance is a delight. It is amazing, it lasts over 48 hours on the skin, and it always transforming and gorgeous. In comparison, this mania is sugar water with some floral and orange ingredients thrown in.
boardrusforall – :
I love this fragrance, it’s soft and elegant.
If you have a bottle to be sold, contact me please
bolt5 – :
L’Oreal has owned the Armani makeup and perfume division for well over a decade. So, the fragrance might be different now but you can hardly blame L’Oreal’s ownership.
This is quickly becoming one of my favourite scents. It’s unobstrusive but not boring. I mostly get sweet citrus and rich amber but it still manages to be uplifting, energetic and perfect for day wear. Often rich ambers are best for night. I could wear this anywhere, anytime. It makes me feel put together but it’s not something you can’t wear comfortably with jeans at the grocery store and works equally well for going out. I love it to bits!
matevec – :
aber19,you’re absolutely right.Suprisingly,when you visit a dutyfree shop at an airport,perfumes seem to smell more intense on you,so,where are the reformulations;
WetteNist – :
Unfortunately L’Oreal has taken over Armani and the reformulation and lack quality of their perfumes becomes evident.
490010 – :
This perfume was a lot stronger and lush about 5 years ago. I noticed that this perfume has been weakened and possibly reformulated. It used to smell on me for about 8-10 hours. When I tried it today on my skin, the perfume smelt lovely for only 2 hrs. I think that this fragrance is too expensive. Why do perfume makers or multinationals think that perfumistas would not notice. Amazingly. This is very disappointing.
lion1976 – :
Very disappointing to my nose! Simple, boring, very unsophisticated, chemically, harsh and synthetic. It’s off the to-buy list.
лос666 – :
It’s simply nice and somewhat safe choice for a perfume. A little too powdery and definitely not for the youthful.
exe1502 – :
I thik that the bay leaves and peppers put this fragrance way far from my favourites… and into the bag of the first friend that likes it. I just don’t feel very comfortable wearing Mania, I feel like breathig in too much of woody vanilla, and I am little sad. So many great recommendations, but I guess my skin is not the type Mania works with very well.
rfcgth – :
Fresh, vibrant, joyful yet very complex, creamy and comforting.
I agree with the similarity to TBT’s Love etc. However Mania is much more sophisticated.
The opening is fresh and citrusy as it dries down it becomes deep and warm. Sweet woodiness makes it perfect for winter.
Longevity is amazing, the beautiful warm drydown lasts really long.
I like to wear it both in office and on dates.
svetliy4el – :
The bottle was sitting in my closet, all wrapped up, so I finally freed it today. This version of Armani Mania is the gold coloured one by Dominique Ropion, with a batch code from 2005.
It opens with fruit — it comes across as a hint of orange, and then there’s a peppery element that builds up in intensity making it seem almost more like bergamot, and the florals emerge.
In the florals, I get mostly lily, because there’s a bit of pepper still sticking around.
By drydown, there’s a vanilla amber that comes through, mingling with that light floral.
Longevity with one spritz was about three hours, and projection was least arm’s length for the first 30mins to hour.
This scent could work all-year, and would be office-safe. It’s not an overly sweet fruity-floral because the bay leaf/peppery note adds a good layer.
I’m not sure if I want to keep it, as I have enough work-appropriate bottles already, but this scent is one of the few I’ve gotten a compliment on, so I will hang on to it for now.
sverix – :
Lybarra118, you pretty much took the words out of my mouth! I completely agree with everything you wrote. This is a very difficult fragrance to describe -I really can’t talk about the composition of it, because I can’t pick out any individual notes. I get a hint of vanilla, but it’s definitely not the main player in this scent. This is a warm, yet fresh and versatile fragrance. I think it’s perfect for spring, fall and winter, and would be great on cool summer nights as well. Longevity is about 8-10 hours on me.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorites – I really don’t want to be without it!
3manur – :
This is my favorite office wear, and it’s also becoming my favorite daily wear in general. I feel confident with it on. Mania is woody, creamy, fresh, vanilla-y, with a hint of citrus. It has an oddly light and heavy feel at the same time, which I realize doesn’t make too much sense.
I’m finding it a bit difficult to describe – I apologize. While it may be a slightly energizing scent, it’s also cozy, classy, soothing and a little sensual. It’s far from boring, but it is comfortable.
Projection is moderate and longevity is 8 hours on my skin. I can’t pinpoint any one note in Mania, that’s how well it’s composed.
I see many mentions of it being discontinued. So I’d get it while you can. I have a 10 year old bottle (still good juice) and also bought a 2.5oz bottle as back up. Good new is, the scent does last.
Update: This is better in hot weather.
CrarkabeFrees – :
Fresh, crisp and creamy in the same time. A very complex, yet so clean scent. For me it is perfect if I know I have a long and hard day ahead. It gives me both energy and comfort. Very different from anything else I have ever smelled. I heard it has been discontinued, so I bought an extra bottle, the largest I could get, when I was lucky enough to still find it. I guess the stores just sell out the remaining stock now. It seems like many of the scents I really adore, get discontinued… Just like Sensi, which I still miss and mourn. Somewhere deep in the base notes I sense a small similarity between those two, even though they are completely different fragrances.
qwerty1 – :
This fragrance is fresh and lovely and with a contagious energy. It makes me feel alive and energetic and present. It’s the kind of fragrance that on a person you just want to scoop them into a hug. It’s comforting and vanilla, but also bright and happy.
There’s a laid back, easy feel about this too. The longevity is awesome! And the sillage is perfect too. It won’t knock any one out, but will definitely grab attention. Perfect if you’re looking for something that isn’t too musky or sweet, but is definitely smart and beautiful.
This is probably Armani’s best female perfume, I think. Well conceived and optimistic.
tatysad – :
I don’t use this fragrance often. I have been surprised by it a time or two when I have randomly decided to wear it but all told, Mania doesn’t do much for me. I imagine it is boring or normal enough for the masses, which is why I tend to only wear this fragrances in professional or academic settings. I would never wear this in a romantic setting.
It is like a weak, fake orgasm. It is not sexy. It’s a sigh.
Mostly what I get from this scent is orange cream but not orange cream you would crave for eating. Maybe orange foam face wash or carpet cleaner. I don’t detect much of the wood or powder. Floral notes don’t arrive. Zzzz.
Waligrushkey – :
Subtle woody scent, like a warm late summer wind. Ladylike and classical. Elegant mania!
Update: warm, lots of amber too.
OlEg1881 – :
Mania is my signature , I stuck on many years ago till now. this scent make me happy every time I wore. the most of my friends woman or man like it. very success of Armani , well done blended, I love this scent.
valera1172 – :
I love this orangecreamsicle dream ,3 with a clean patchouli Cream skin scent . . .not sure why? but it reminds me of being 7 years old in the very early 1980’s & sisting with my sister & going thru my mother’s Cosmopolitan magizine’s 🙂 Maybe? there was a perfume sample in one that we went thru a lot that smelled similar to this Mania ! . . see we had a game we played we would sit side by side with the magazine stretched across both our lap’s & we would turn each page & as we seen the beautiful Models we would put our finger on the as faaast as we could & say –I’m Her– im her , IM HER! no Immmmm her etc . . . mostly but occasionly when there was a beautiful house or jewelerry add we would say . . that’s MINE & who ever said it the fastest WON 🙂 it was a REAL game we would play ALL the time infact I was & SHE was 7 . . . . anyway I think the perfume just reminds me of EVERYTHING super glamourus & those was my first real Images of what was fabuous & beautiful & desirable & THIS perfume reminds of that great memory also when I close my eyes it just smells like the Mall & that also is a high compliment 🙂
kila – :
I simply love it. It is spicy-orangy to my nose, reminds my love Clinique Happy, such a joyful, clean and light scent for summer days. But it is sad story behind that, because it is keeping on me extremely short time and I can’t feel that beauty for longer 🙁 Maybe oranges don’t love my chemistry, because it is always the same with similar perfumes.
mokach – :
What an unusual, lovely fragrance! I received it in a swap from a lovely Fragrantica member and I love it! When I first tried it, I literally couldn’t recognize any notes in it because it’s all so well blended, creamy and balmy.
Someone below wrote a negative review comparing it to a pharmacy smell. Funnily enough, I understand what she means although for me it’s an expensive, posh, designer pharmacy/cosmetic store smell. It’s really, really unusual but feminine, attractive, elegant, soft. It’s a hit with me.:)
jarix – :
This is a lovely feminine and elegant scent. There is some light sweetness, nothing overwhelming.
I can sense light fruity and light floral notes. Also some woody notes in the base. Everything there is, is in the right amount. Really well-composed in my opinion.
I find the packing very cute because of the simplicity and the orange color of the perfume in the bottle.
Classy, a little spicy and easy-going.
This is the perfume you should wear with the smile just as the ad says.
gugenotas – :
Armani Mania is certainly nice. It is not too sweet, not too spicy, not too woody, and not too heavy on the vanilla. I would feel completely comfortable wearing this to work, or when hanging out with friends.
On me the most noticeable notes are sandalwood and a slightly powdery, non-gourmand vanilla. Some pink pepper in the background and a tiny hint of bitterness keep this from being too simple, but there’s not a whole lot of development throughout for me. It does remind me of a more subdued (less childish) version of TBS’ Love Etc.
Unfortunately, on me sillage and longevity are quite limited, and I would definitely feel the need to refresh this scent halfway through my day.
For me it doesn’t have that ‘it’ factor that makes me crave it, but it suffices in situations where I don’t want to wear anything too opinionated.
kikbokser – :
I have to add this to my previous review.
You want to have a perfume that will make men following you around, buy Armani mania.
Men love it, i´ve had the most weird, pleasant, awkward, lovely compliments whenever i wore/wear it.

Poison in a bottle !! From my experience, mania is incredibly sexy. It’s working both of men and woman. Sweet, sexy and warm. I love the way that sandalwood and vanilla working on me. It’s like an invitation to come to bed and then……
jkj806intitytek – :
i’ve been stealing spritzes of this perfume from my mother, and i find it to be so versatile. it works well for daytime and night. there’s something creamy, warm, and luxurious about it. i find that whatever my mood is, i don’t regret wearing this. i don’t really get the citrusy notes. for me it smells more like a rich peppery vanilla. it’s classy and delicious and i need to buy my own bottle immediately!
sterh-65 – :
Love at first sniff. This is tangy and creamy with a bit of zesty pink pepper! An instant favourite. I love the tartness of the green mandarin with the vanilla and musk, and the unconventional touch of bay leaf. It dries down to a creamy bomb with a touch of tart orange. Armani fragrances tend to sit well on my skin, so I’m not surprised at how wonderful this one is. I have to buy a bottle as soon as possible!
tracer_13 – :
reaaalyyy good one!!! :)i’ve been looking for my “second” favorite parfem, after bvl “parfum II”..this was the only one witch i could smell the next day, and all day wearing..i have spend a thousand euros for that searching, buying and giving the bottles away..
however, this one is what i want! elegant, not sweet, different from the most “all same” new parfems..
really, really happy!!

my favorite fragrance ever
m1xa666 – :
On my skin peppernote turns magic. It softens down the sweet notes and blend perfectly with the other notes. This is a grown-up scent for a grown-up woman. Timeless and I will wear Mania both daytime and for partytime. Not a loud scent but it encircling me with magic wiffs. Great! A keeper!!
På min hud blir pepparnoten magisk, den dämpar de söta noterna och blandar sig perfekt med de andra doftnoterna. Detta är en vuxen doft för en vuxen kvinna. Tidlös. Jag kommer att bära Mania både dagtid och för party. Inte en högljudd doft men den omringar mig med små magiska vindpuffar. En doft att hålla hårt i!!
TERROR – :
I wasn’t sure about this smell, but after one hour of wearing I fell in love with them… The beginning of perfumes is more citrusy and after few hours you can smell soft woody fragrances… I absolutely love them, feel so sexy, so elegant and unusual.
ysm149Unlogrere – :
I feel so sexy wearing this. But in a refined, elegant, and relaxed sort of way rather than a ‘clubbing and skimpy dress’ way. The citrus and pink pepper are heavily present from the word go, but its got a creaminess to it that prevents it from being harsh, especially as it really settles into the skin. It’s light and comforting but at the same time has a somewhat mysterious edge that keeps me coming back to my wrist for more. Has that disctinct ‘Armani’ smell that I love so much.
I get compliments on this all the time
Edit: Projection is perfect. Doesn’t fill a room, but potent enough for people nearby to smell it for the first few hours. Settles in closer to the skin after that, but retains its character. The drydown is very natural and lovely. ‘Like skin, but better’ as I think someone said. It’s been about 9 hours and I can still smell traces of it on me. Overall, very happy with this perfume.

Im enjoying this perfume so far. Got it as a sample and it smells very good. Havent had it for long on my skin so cant judge longevity just yer but it has good sillage and on me, this smells vanilla floral, almost gourmand like a vanilla… (or is it caramel) cake or something. So far I cant smell any citrus at all. Will update!!!
I have to mention though that to me this is a fall/winter scent. Its pretty intense!!!

Oh my god, i love love this perfume. I saw this perfume 1 month ago with a discount of 70%, so 24 euro instead of 80 and i thought i will give it a try because it’s armani. I couldn’t test it because they didn’t have a tester. So i blind bought it and since then i have been using it everyday and i receive so many compliments, each time. It has become my signature scent. i went back to ICI paris XL and bought 2 more bottles. On me it smells like vanilla blend with cream en citrus. It doesn’t sound exciting but it works very well with my body chemistry. I have like 40 bottles of perfumes and i can’t use the same perfume 2 or 3 days on a row but i don’t have that problem with armani mania. Go and test it, it’s amazing.

I can’t describe this perfume.
It was my signature scent for a long time because it was just always fitting of my mood.
It ebbs and flows, it’s spicy then sulty then zesty then musky.
