About this deal

In the opening I get a sweet hit of what I can best describe as fresh lime and vodka with a tad of aldehydes. The cedar and amber warm nicely, occasionally providing the wearer with a nice reminder of its presence. It's obviously not the most daring fragrance Kurkdjian has done but it's refreshing smelling something like this from the early 00's which, even though discontinued, still smells quite modern.

I know this fragrance doesn't project much, but it is actually last quite long on my skin, 6-8 hours, and will sometimes project if you move. I am so upset I started wearing this 15 years ago as a newly wed- ironic we finalized the divorce this year. mariana: I have recently been introduced to Jimmy Choo’s Flash, and in the first couple of days I could not rest my mind till I discovered what it smelled like.The tangerine and musk here are very light, the amber is almost invisible, cedar and vetiver are more dominant notes. I found the naming of the other Mania perfumes very confusing and of course the inexperienced SA just thought I was mad – she had no knowledge of the original. This fragrance holds the Armani signature that takes me back to the mid-late 1990s, maybe it's the amber note that attains this mawkishness. After a while, the cedarwood became more proeminet, the fragramce became drier and the musk adds creamy-floral and soft sweetness to the overall scent.

Stays close to the skin but emerges in the most wonderful way as your body temp goes up a little (on a lunch hour walk). A nice citrus aquatic with a interesting musk or use tonka that gives this fragrances a frosted glass or iced lemonade kind of feel to the fragrance. I just bought a bottle recently after being without this frag for probably about two years (it was my signature scent for awhile) and just love it! Then you got a softer round two with stuff like Armani Mania and Versace Jeans Couture Man (2002), both which lean more into clean citrus, fresh musks, amber, and rounded subtle spices like saffron and cardamom than heavy woods or pepper.

Opening is rather bitter-spicy (reminiscent of a tamer saffron opening found in MFK's Oud EDP) with the saffron and a hint of (bitter) citrus, which then blends into a nice mix of cedar, musk and some vague, ephemeral sweetness.
