For those of you that have read my previous reviews then you will all be well aware of what a perfume fan I am and without sounding like a broken record I am going to be reviewing another bottle of that perfume today. I am actually surprised that I have not reviewed this perfume before as it has been a firm favourite of mine for about 10 years now and that perfume is the Armani She perfume. The perfume was first launched back in 1998 and yet I have noticed from seeing it on the shelves that it is as popular today as it was back when it was launched. I have tried many different bottles of fragrance since then but yet I also seem to always have a bottle on the go so an ever popular choice in my collection.


As I mentioned the perfume is available from many different stores so there is certainly no issue with availability. The perfume can be found in store such as Boots, Debenhams, House of Fraser as well as the Armani clothes stores which can be found in larger shopping outlets. Most perfume stores also stock the fragrance and it can also be found online. The perfume comes in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml bottles and the average cost of the bottles are about £28.99 for the 30ml, £39.99 for the 50ml and for the larger 100ml is about £49.99. The bottle that I have always gone for is the middle sized 50ml, this is just my personal preference and I do try to shop around to find the best price. Also in the Armani She range is a body lotion, shower gel and a deodorant.


The perfume I have to say is not the best packaged, unlike many perfumes it does not come in a cardboard box but instead this perfume comes in a foil wrapper and as far as I am aware this perfume has been packed the same since it was launched. The foil is a gold colour and comes with the Armani logo across it as well as the name of the perfume. On the one side of the packaging is a list of the ingredients that can be found in the perfume and after using it for some time now I have never suffered any kind of irritation from the perfume. To open the perfume you need to just tear on end of the packaging and the bottle will be revealed.


Like the packaging, the bottle for the Armani She is not like any other bottles of perfume that I own. The perfume is in a gold metallic round bottle. I would guess and say that it is about 14cm in height. Considering that this perfume was launched some time ago it does look really modern. The bottle has quite a futuristic look and makes it so much different from many others. The bottle is quite heavy and the one negative is that you can 't see how much perfume you have left and because the bottle is quite heavy it is hard to tell because with hardly any perfume left or a full bottle the weight is really hard to judge.


To use the perfume is really easy, there is a rubber button at the top of the bottle that you need to press onto and it will then dispense the perfume. It comes out of the bottle really well and comes out as a fine mist and cover's a lot of skin in one press and a little squirt of this perfume will go a long way. The perfume is described by Armani as being a blend of 'floral and oriental scents'. The perfume contains a number of different scents but the first one that I noticed was the citrus scents. I have always been a fan of these and this has a lovely fruity scent and you can really notice the pineapple in the perfume. It is not at all overpowering and is fresh as opposed to being sickly sweet. The next scent that I noticed was the sandalwood and vanilla, these are the middle notes of the perfume and on its own I am not normally a fan of the vanilla scent but because it is combined with many other scents as well as being mixed in with the top notes that I mentioned it works really well and you only get a hint of it now and again. There is a bottom note of jasmine in this perfume that I really like and it can only be smelt now and again. This is another fragrance that on its own I don't really like but because the amount that has been used in this perfume is only small it works really well.


The perfume, even with all of the different fragrances in it is a warm yet soft fragrance and even though I mainly wear it as an evening wear perfume I like it that much that on certain days I have put it on before I go to work and it lasts really well, I can smell it even when I get in the door form a day at the office so it has great staying power and as you wear it throughout the day you get to smell all of the wonderful fragrances that have been built into the Armani She.


In summary, if you have not guessed already I am a big fan of this perfume and cannot recommend it enough! The perfume is a great product that is in a well designed bottle. The scent is a warm yet refreshing scent and you can get so many different smells from it that it's like wearing a different fragrance all the time, different notes hit you at different times.
