Giorgio Armani perfumes: which one to try first

How to choose between the ten

10ML lists twenty-five perfumes under Giorgio Armani, including the Emporio Armani line. This guide covers ten of them: six listed for men and four listed for women. Several of the men's names look alike, but the scents are not: three are marine and voted for summer, and three carry sweet, leather or powdery accords and are voted for fall and winter nights. The women's four split between three fruity scents and one white floral. If you cannot smell them first, read how to choose perfume without smelling it.

Grouped by character and season, they look like this:

• Marine scents for men, voted for summer: Acqua di Giò, Acqua di Giò Profondo and Acqua di Giò Parfum.
• Sweet and spiced, or powdery, for men on fall and winter nights: Stronger With You Intensely, Armani Code and Armani Code Parfum.
• Fruity scents for women: Si, Sì Passione and Emporio Armani She.
• A white floral for women, voted for spring: My Way.

If a note name is unfamiliar, the note pages explain it: bergamot, vanilla, patchouli and tuberose.

Trying Giorgio Armani before you buy a bottle

Several of these names sit close together, so note which one you wear on which day. Acqua di Giò in 3ml is 6,21 € and gives around 60 sprays. If you like it, the 10ml decant at 18,81 € gives around 200 sprays. Each of the ten comes in both sizes.

A good first order is one scent for the season you are in and one from a different group, worn on separate days over clean skin. Beyond this house, best perfume for men ranges across many houses.
