Blossom Perfumery 189 Because of Me is an Eau de Parfum. 189 Because of Me opens with Lemon, Neroli, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Rose, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Vanilla. Blossom Perfumery's 189 Because of Me carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A workable dupe of Emporio Armani Because It's You, keeping the raspberry-rose-vanilla signature but flatter and simpler than the original's more layered, gourmand-leaning composition.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No. 189 leans on the same raspberry, rose and vanilla combination that anchors Emporio Armani Because It's You, opening with a bright citrus-raspberry burst before settling into a soft rose heart and a warm, musky-woody vanilla base. The overall silhouette is faithful, but this version loses some of the original's gourmand roundness - Armani's fragrance has a slightly boozy, praline-like sweetness running through the base that gives it more depth, whereas here the vanilla and musk feel more generic and one-note. The rose heart is pleasant but brief, giving way quickly to the base rather than lingering as a distinct phase. It reads as a fair, wearable everyday alternative for anyone who likes the raspberry-rose-vanilla family, though it fades to a simple sweet musk within a few hours rather than holding onto the original's more complex, longer-lasting warmth.
