Oh wow!!! I love this! While I do smell the rose, I also get alot of raspberry, black currant and pink pepper! This is fabulous!!! I mean I really love it! This would be a safe one to gift or blind buy I think. It’s really nice! It’s a happy, fizzy, warmer weather, daytime scent. It’s clean and crisp and juicy but not at all cloying. Delicious!

This was a blind buy for me and was keen on taking the risk as I have a deep love for raspberry note in a fragrance.
Won’t be lying, this one is more fun than a show stopper fragrance, smells a bit like raspberry & currnat flavoured candies and this is impression is held throughout (not the toothachingly kind tho). There are some woody notes but overall it is all about condensed sweet fruits to me, like a jam or a conserve with n o sugar added.
Now, I do not find this complex enough to wear it on its own (Italiano Vivo is rather casual and one-dimensional to me) but I can see how layering this with some other stuff would produce brilliant results and add a cheeky childlike (not childish) attitude to other frags in my wardrobe.
P.S Think it may be a clone for Givenchy Hot Couture edt which I own and is very close.
P.S today it smells very fizzy on me, like raspberry cordial soda 🙂

This fragrance is definitely in my top 5, and the longevity is absolutely wonderful. It is the best combination of floral fresh I have ever smelt. But it’s not your typical floral fresh that’s rosey and crisp. Its soft, sweet and aquatic-like, with a hint of tartness from the raspberry. I have yet to smell anything like it!
Also the notes are slightly off. I sell this fragrance at my work and the notes we receive from the manufacturer are the following:
Rose, Musk, Peony, Amber, Jasmine, Vanilla, White Wood, Black Currant, Pink Pepper, Patchouli, Geranium, and Raspberry.

Another winner from Armaf.
The initial impression brings raspberry but not too sweet – it is dry and muted. This is not a gourmand perfume. You won’t smell like peach melba raspberry sauce.
Next, the cedar note dominates on my skin. I swear there is a wisp of oud as well, but the notes don’t mention it. This was a bit disconcerting as I was expecting something sweeter, but I decided to wait it out to the drydown.
Eventually the florals prevail, particularly the peony. They meld everything together into a soft feminine distinctly intriguing scent.
After a few more wears, I can see this becoming a love.

Usually I think of Armaf as a clone house. This one confuses me because I can NOT figure out what it’s supposed to be imitating. I was sent this one by accident when I ordered Armaf Italiano Donna. However, it was dirt cheap and smelled wondrous, so I kept it.
So I was not looking for this and never had a thought for buying and wearing a raspberry scent since raspberries are definitely not my favorite berry (blackberries are). Nevertheless, Italiano Vivo is a love.
Opening: raspberry and peony, sharp but cheery
Heart: peony, raspberry, vanilla, a little blackcurrant, nice fruity floral
Base: musk and iso E super (the cedarwood note)
This is a modern fragrance, by which I mean it does include that iso E super note.
Great for daytime in spring, summer, or fall. Fresh and clean. The bottle is cute. It looks like white imitation leather. No silly bling. My second favorite Armaf bottle (first place goes to Armaf Tag-Her).

Oh my goodness!! The heat REALLY brought out this fragrance’s true potential! The raspberry that was so sharp before is now so mellow and absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It’s sweet still, but no longer has the sour edge that turned me off to it before. I noticed that it lasts longer on my skin now as well (although it still lasts longer on the clothes than the skin overall. I got about 4 hours on the skin compared to 6+ on my clothes). Great fragrance that I recommend trying while it’s VERY HOT! 🙂

That raspberry just jumps out at me every time I wear this and not in the best way (at least not at first. It gets better once it sits on the skin about 30 minutes.) Really wish peach was in it as a top note instead so it’d be a bit sweeter. The raspberry/pink pepper combination gives it a slightly sour smell if its sprayed too often and can give you a headache. Other than that this fragrance is nice. I love most of Armaf’s frags so I thought I’d give this one a shot. I’m not crazy about this one but the drydown scent makes it definitely wearable.
