The new male fragrance from Emporio Armani is woody and modern, with top notes of joyful bergamot and spicy Szechuan pepper. Middle notes of revitalising cedar and cacao are nicely supported by base notes of smoky gaiac wood, vetiver and ambroxan. The result is a scent that is alluring, energising and finishes with a longing, calming effect.
The bottle itself is very sleek and designed for the modern man in mind. Gone are the days when men have to be ‘rough’ to be men – they can now be perfectly polished and embrace the simplicity of being inspired by diamonds and the shimmering brilliance of the clear light reflections.
Though in general the shape of the bottle has stayed rather masculine in the sense that it is perfectly rectangular. Very very sleeky.
“Your man will love it as much for its streamlined shape as its fragrance. Emporio Armani Diamonds is a modern-day yet timeless scent. And just like the saying goes, diamonds are forever…”

The new MB Manhattan dealership will offer leading showroom technology and forward-thinking design in a fully-fledged dealership for the Mercedes-Benz, Maybach, and smart brands with sales of new and pre-owned vehicles and after-sales operations, including a state-of-the-art service center.
