Which Should You Buy?
A truly divisive 'intense' flanker. Fans adore its richer, sweeter take on the original, often describing it as glamorous and sensuous. However, some find it overly heady, synthetic, or even nauseating. Definitely test before you commit, as it’s a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
A budget read of Emporio Armani's Diamonds Intense - that gourmand fruity-floral of syrupy raspberry and rose over spicy vanilla woods, like raspberry liqueur in a wooden cupboard. Full Of Gems keeps the jammy raspberry-rose signature but pushes the sweetness even harder and lets the woody base thin out, losing a little of the original's denser depth. A fun, seductive fruity-floral for the money.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong sillage and impressive longevity, especially in 'intense' form, this scent can be overpowering for an office. It shines on dates and formal occasions due to its glamorous, sensual quality, with some finding it acceptable for evening casual wear. Definitely not for sport.
Seasons
A syrupy raspberry-and-rose gourmand over vanilla woods that feels cosiest in autumn and winter while staying wearable in spring; the sweetness reads heavy in summer heat.
Occasions
Flirtatious and a little seductive, it suits dates, evenings and casual days more than formal or sporty settings.
