Iconic Emporio Armani She Eau de Parfum is a powdery story of tenderness, sensuality, and intimate magnetism. A fragrance worn like a 2nd skin with its own alluring interpretation of modern femininity. It becomes progressively powdery with the almond becoming more prominent as it develops, the overall scent improving as a result in its later stages. Subtle vanilla adds soft sweetness. It becomes predictably musky as it fades. Sillage is intimate and longevity is moderate.

I have heard very good things about the original She, that it is a soft, powdery almond scent lifted by its fruity opening. I haven't had the opportunity to try it - the best I could do was to try this reformulation. As it turns out, I am quite underwhelmed. I love an almond scent as the weather gets colder, but this is not it. She is a very subtle, powdery scent, focused on heliotrope but smells quite synthetic. The overall effect is rather wan. It brings to mind a half-hearted, watery noughties-style floral-fruity that is set apart only by the heliotrope. For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.
