Armani Mania by Giorgio Armani

My most loved perfume... I love the spicy, menthol opening then the vanilla blends in and at the end they create very creamy vanilla scent with the hint of spices. It´s very natural scent, too. I know that the name maybe isn´t very fitting but I think the scent is so good I can forgive this mismatch.
For me this is the perfume for every occasion I can imagine going to the date as well as business meeting wearing this. On the other hand it´s very flirty scent... in some of the previous reviews the word "coquetish" has been used and I second this opinion.
Last but not least I also love this scent because the man I was madly in love with :) always come closer to me when we were talking when I was weraing this perfume... He really didn´t care too much for keeping a personal space when I was wearing this perfume :)
If I ever had to choose only one perfume, I could wear, this one would be my choice.

Armani Mania is a pretty yet fairly subdued fragrance. I'll agree with JADE.PALOMA on this one, this fragrance is the opposite of mania, I find this scent to be rather soothing and peaceful.

Casting aside the unbefitting name, Armani Mania has some real likable qualities. The scent is very natural and I find it to compliment the skin beautifully. It has an almost creamy-like feel which is somewhat milky and soft.

All the notes are quite lush, however neither one dominates over the other. I don't get much of the citrus/fruity notes nor the herbs or spices. The pink pepper lingers delicately in the background providing only a subtle hint of spiciness.

The floral notes are gorgeous and feminine, they are what makes this fragrance so desirable and warm. The woodsy notes are nicely composed, with the vanilla maintaining the creaminess until the scent disappears.

Overall, the scent strength and sillage are very good and the fragrance itself quite inoffensive. Armani Mania would be very versatile, making it easily adaptable to changes in weather and different occasions. I recommend.

it is an easy wear for any occasion and thats why I think that I wouldn't purchase it because it doesnt have that wow factor to me. Its nice and pleasant smells like a orange creamsicle. I don't get too much pepper which is good. To me its more of a creamy scent than a powdery one. But who knows tastes change over time. I know that mine does. The bottle could have been better.

To my mind it is created for self-confident women who have a high self-esteem.

Too strong .May be the vanilla? It just did not fit me, when I was wearing it my friends did not like it..........

Blue-Rose

I like it, it is good, sweet and powdery. Casual, soft and classic style, it's better for cloudy days.

Armani Mania is absolutely beautiful. It's one of the most feminine and coquettish fragrances that I've ever worn. On my skin it's creamy, and ethereal and regal. It's not a heavy fragrance, which I'm usually attracted to, but its very addictive and I just love it. I definitely smell the pink pepper and orange in the tops notes, and when it dries down........Peonies, Magnolias, Amber, Vanilla and Musk......you can't go wrong with this combination. I love Armani Mania. It's light, but entrancing, simple, yet refined. It's a quiet beauty and definitely in a class all by itself. Modern and Intimate. Ideal for the day or night and better suited for the fall.

Oh ... Tested this today.... Toooo sweet :(
I think there's too much of vanilla in there... and it made me sick ....
at the first spray it's kind of soft and clean,but after few minutes it turned to a to a fragrance i couldn't tolerate.... won't buy it...

This scent is like a big, long, thick, well made cashmere wrap in a pretty peachy caramel colour, great for those gloomy winter days

It's warm, comforting, optimistic and slightly peppery but all for the good cause. Really beats my winter blues with style and feels so very cosy in it. There are lots of spices and vanilla in it along with some spunky powdery notes cheerfully swirling in between. This is a woodsy gourmandy scent to me. I have to really focus to detect the floral notes, not sure if they do exist or just my imaginaton.

The name Mania doesn't do much for me but the bottle is pure Armani, minimalism at its best.

I fell in love with this perfume when I smelled it first time. It's so amazing. And I bought it immediately. My husband didn't like it first, said that it smelled from the bottle like plastic haha But for me it smells like gold :-) I have been using it for 2 months and my husband asked what an amazing fragrance this is. he found it very exciting and was surprised to know this is Armani Mania :-)

It was one of my 'unusual' purchases, something about it attracted me to the scent...glad i bought it because the men love it, always get comments from them when I first meet up & they get the first whiff catching their nose & they have to comment 10/10 times...sexy it is...

cmmarti3

This is a wonderful fragrance! I first smelled it on a co-worker. It's somewhat strong but I think it's still fine for day. The drydown is great. I also think it's fine for winter or summer. I love it!

perfumes_addict

mania is one of my favourite fragrances because it grows along with me. it's very bright and strong in the beginning, but it warms down in time, but without losing its sharpness and extraordinary staying power. the bottle is not so original as i would've expected but it's probably better to keep it simple with such a complex perfume.

pure

It smells beautifully on the skin (surprisingly, the bottle smells soapy and heavy) and after some time leaves creamy note that lasts over 24 hours (unbelievable!). It makes me feel more confident. However, I don't think it's sexy or romantic...it's rather something to give you wings when you need them for Very Important Occasions.

Armani Mania is made for those who like the blithe softness and sweetness of a modest but still elegant perfume. At first its a bit tart and i feel some green notes mixed with a warm kind of freshness. After some minutes the scent get prettier and prettier, like breaking the hard shell and finding the deep, warm, silky inside. This fragrance has a light clean, creamy and musky character, which i really like, just plain a very sexy everyday scent. But oh the bottle is so worst in my opinion, absolutely dont fit the scent, i rarely make an exception, but for this perfume i will do one, because i really fall in love with this scent, only the lasting power could be better.

Glamorous, sexy, modern...would agree with everybody here - creamy and warm. It somehow reminds me Gucci Envy (which I love), maybe not even the scent itself, but the impression it gives me.

And again like with Gucci Envy - don't like the bottle. I enjoy simplicity and minimalism, but it should be elegant and tasteful. In this case - just plane simple.

Mania is lush and sexy, powdery feminine, just-stepped-out-of-shower-in-a-silk-robe type glamourous. It's a keeper. My favourite Armani fragrance.

MinogueParfums

I really love this perfume, but when i wear it, people said it stinks.
Too bad, maybe my friends aren't as sophisticated as i am.

OMG! I have been looking and looking for the right 'signature' fragrance and this one was sitting way back on the shelf at Macys. I can't even explain the differnt burst of scents at first, kind of peppery and maybe a little masculine. Well maybe that isn't the right description, but it dries down to a warm, woodsy, yummy, I can't get enough of it scent. My husband also loved it, but said he could smell vanilla. I didn't believe him until I looked at the notes. I am really not a vanilla fan, but it works and the whole combination of this perfume is to die for! Other reviews stated the staying power wasn't that great, but on me the staying power was easily 8-10 hours. I smelled it the whole day!

I really like this fragrance, even bought Mania Summer (the lighter version).
At first you can feel the fruity notes, but the drydown is creamy powdery woods.
It is very confortable and smells nice.
I can´t say that it is too strong, even if I bath myself on it.

lbean

It can be quite strong if you put on too much, but I think it's just a(great) casual scent. Sweet and very feminine :)

I tried it today as i read the reviews first.
Not dissapointed at all. Soft creamy ,warm and elegant is definantley spot on. Just divine. I will get myself one for sure.

Woody and warm, this perfume creates a world of comfort and assurance for the wearer. It starts with a "lift me up" smell given by the cranberry and pepper notes, but dries down quickly into a soothing deep amber and vanilla scent. The roses are very faint, not overpowering, which makes it quite wearable.
I would use it on dark and gloomy days of winter, when I need to remember the warmth of the sun.

dizzi

Creamy vanilla and orange is equal to my new love!

Sedef

dianachif
