Review for Giorgio Armani Mania Summer:
Giorgio Armani is an Italian fashion designer who is known best for his Armani suits. He has created a conglomerate of different business ventures with lines of boutiques, jeans, home collections, clothing lines, and fragrances. He might even create a hotel in Dubai. Giorgio Armani has a very decadent and sensual style. He has been a favorite in the haute couture circles for years, especially with businessmen who favored his Armani suits. His fragrances also have much of the sensuality and luxurious feel that he has endowed his fashion line with.

Mania Summer by Giorgio Armani is a lighter fragrance than some of the other romantic perfumes and colognes in the Giorgio Armani Perfume line. It is a tad more sophisticated than old-world, which is a mark of the Giorgio Armani style. It includes some new modern fragrance notes like pink peppercorn and tangerine. The top notes for Armani Mania Summer are: Moroccan bay leaf, green mandarin orange, black currant, and pink peppercorns. The middle notes are: Muguet, peony, magnolia, and iris. The low notes are: cedar, amber, vanilla, musk, and white sandalwood. The scent can be classified as a woody floral scent.

This is a light, fresh scent that is perfect for the summer months. Spritz it on and you can wear it anywhere. It’s casual but a sophisticated fragrance that can be worn with pride. The scent is good enough to stand up to the summer heat and sun. It’s vanilla and musk notes lend for a sweet finish to this perfume. This is sensual only in that it makes you feel good. It’s not really a sexy evening scent. It does have a hint of the same base notes that makes the other Armani perfumes and colognes so alluring, but in a much lighter form. It is not over-powering and wears well.

Dunhill Pursuit For Men Review:
Dunhill was founded by Alfred Dunhill as a company that specialized initially in saddlery. The times changed, however, leading to the use of the motorcar instead of the horse as the preferred mode of transportation. Alfred Dunhill took the knowledge that his company had amassed in leather goods and changed the company’s focus to accessories for motorcars, like leather overcoats, goggles, car horns, and more. This began their long tradition of selling luxury items dedicated to men, which now includes fragrances. This company continues to reinvent itself and now also offers women’s fragrances too.

The expertise in men’s quality, luxury items extends to their fragrances. The scent is very masculine and even the advertising campaign seeks to attract men who want a more conventional, manly scent. It’s called the scent for men who crave adventure. It has patchouli, pepper, and cinnamon spice notes. It adds the requisite citrus notes along with some woodsy notes too. The bottle itself is broad-shouldered making you think of John Wayne, a man’s man with a big heart. It could best be described as an oriental spicy woody fragrance. The amber liquid is visible through the clear, glass bottle, which has little adornment.

This is a complex fragrance as well as an ultra-masculine scent. It is versatile enough to wear during the day with jeans, as it is to wear it to the office without too much trouble. People who love Dunhill scents will definitely love this elegant new fragrance too. It is long lasting but not too heavy. It’s character remains firm and robust throughout the day. It is classic Dunhill with the emphasis on casual elegance for the man about town. It will quickly become a favorite in your bath cabinet. It comes in a wide range of products from aftershave, shower breeze, deodorant, and eau de toilette.

Have you ever tried using scented body lotions ?

Well if not, you definitely should as body lotions contain way less alcohol (some are alcohol free) which is much better for your healthy looking skin than most of the fragrances, especially in a cold weather. It is good idea to find out if your favorite fragrance does not come in lotion, as most of the perfume designers make these.

Do you think scented lotion doensn’t have a strong enough scent?

Well give it a try, and you’ll be actually surprised, as some of the lotions smell even longer than Eau De Toilette’s or Eau De Parfums thank to its creamy texture that does not dry on your skin, plus your complexion is moisturized. It is recommended to try small amount of tester first, leave it on for some time and see if no irritation occurs.

Coco Chanel Body Lotions:
I highly recommend to try Chanel body lotions and scented face and body creams. They are all excellent, we have not even heard a single person with skin irritation’s or redness complain. Fragrances are distinctive and very long lasting as for Skin Care products.

Chanel Coco – classic and beautiful, very sensual scent, this lotion is strong enough to use for a night time as smell live is about 5-6 hours. Excellent texture, non oily, does not make your clothes look shiny . As Chanel Coco perfume it has floral and amber notes. Truly classic.

Review for Thierry Mugler Angel Ice Cologne:
The Thierry Mugler line of fragrances launched a new fragrance called Angel Ice or Ice*Men. This men’s fragrance was released worldwide on April 2007 and is due to be introduced in the United States in September 2007. It comes from a long line of very popular fragrances with the Thierry Mugler name. The original Angel for women was the #1 fragrance in France in 1992 and within the top five in the United States. Most of the fragrances in the Thierry Mugler line have not strayed far from the formula that achieved them fame.

This fragrance uses the patchouli signature of other Angel scents to work its magic. However, the theme is one of freezing ice with a caffeine kick, like iced coffee with nutmeg. Some people refer to it as a glacial, spicy, wood fragrance due to the hint of coffee and nutmeg scents in it. The bottle itself evokes a frozen glacier with an oceanic blue hue to the entire presentation. The notes are citrus, aquatic, and spicy. There is little information on the top, middle, and low notes at this time.

This particular fragrance can be extreme, much like the packaging and namesake. It’s bound to have people who like it and those who can’t stand it. Much like all of Thierry Mugler’s extreme design concepts, this fragrance is one that is modern and trend setting. Some people think Ice For Men is very similar to Thierry Mugler’s A*Men in fragrance and that it just may be the same fragrance repackaged. If you like A*Men, you will like Ice*Men. This may be easier to wear during the day than at night. If you are a fan of Thierry Mugler fragrances be sure to add this one to your collection.

Review for Emporio Remix Cologne by Giorgio Armani:
Giorgio Armani remains a fashion designer best known for the business suits that carry his name. He has all sorts of business ventures from boutiques and jeans to home collections and clothing lines. He also has a line of fragrances. The Giorgio Armani style is one of luxurious and seductive elegance. One of these brands that he’s created is called Emporio Armani. The brand of Emporio Armani deals with ready-to-wear clothing, sunglasses, fragrances, watches, and accessories. The Emporio Armani is the mass produced version of the Armani custom line. It’s specifically targeted to younger people who may have fewer bucks to spend. It does offer some higher end products like Armani Jeans, but is not haute couture. You can often find Emporio Armani brand name products at high-end department stores.

This fragrance is classified as a fougere. It is a high-powered and dynamic scent that was inspired by the Fall-Winter collection, which featured the colors of midnight blue for him. The packaging and marketing evokes a night at the local discothque, with midnight blue packaging and electrifying silver writing on the bottle. The top notes are: basil, cardamom, and bergamot. The middle notes are: lily of the valley and mace. The low notes are: vetiver, licorice, and white musk. The result is a remix that is distinctly masculine with a sweet and fresh twist.

Emporio by Giorgio Armani also created a matching Remix She for women. The idea was to pair the two fragrances for a wild night out on the town. The woman’s fragrance took the electric lavender color of the Fall-Winter collection as its base too. The two scents are said to be a duo that dance together very nicely. It makes a lovely and entertaining couples gift, for those of us who want to spend a night on the town.

Lacoste Inspiration Perfume Review:
Lacoste is a high-end company, which retails luxury goods. Some of their items are: perfumes, clothing, footwear, watches, eyewear, and watches. The logo is a green crocodile with the name ‘Lacoste’ underneath. Although the company is French, the mark is well known in the United States. Tennis player Rene Lacoste, who began the company with a line of tennis shirts, founded Lacoste. The brand is equated with the preppy look.

Lacoste Inspiration for Women is a scent that caters to the free-spirited modern woman. It is a classic floral fragrance. The top notes are: pink peppercorn, pomegranate, plum, and mandarin zest. The middle notes are: Muguet, peony, jasmine, and tuberosa. The low notes are: white sandalwood, vanilla, musky accord, and iris. The scent is casual and good for everyday wear, much like the rest of the Lacoste line of products. The bottle was designed by a French design agency that was inspired to ride the edge between elegance and playfulness, with a flirty feel. It is a pleasing oblong thin-shaped perfume dispenser with a light blue liquid inside. It makes you think of a cloudless summer day when you might be up to some fun and frolic.

This is a good perfume for college-aged co-eds. It is very floral and light. There is nothing really unique about it, but it can be a very pleasing casual scent for every daywear. It would fit well with the Izod line of clothing from Lacoste and for times when you are outdoors and in a sporty and playful mood. The lightness of the scent makes it good for daytime wear, but not for evening. The idea is to wear this perfume for yourself, to celebrate your own independent spirit and femininity, and not exactly as a come-hither type of scent.
