Black carat smells like a black fruit diluted in the original raspberry theme of Diamonds, already a very cheap composition when it was imagined. It is surrounded by several white flowers and a rose, but there is absolutely nothing special inside, the perfume smells like a copycat of the amazingly beautiful (raspberry) Haute Couture (Givenchy) from the 90's. But as Armani is no more a fashionable name and not a chic name in perfume, this new perfume smells utterly cheap, much like those supermarket scents you can buy in the countries where the celebrity scents are still popular. It has a surprising similarity with a perfume from Avon launched last year, sold in a black bottle, which, to my surprise, is far better than Emporio Armani Diamonds black carat for her.
It is well known today in the perfume industry that l'Oréal is the huge factory of low quality perfumes because they did nothing significant in the past decade. Does anyone inside l'Oréal working for Armani know what a "black diamond" stands for? They certainly have not the property of words. What can you expect from somebody with low culture and the lowest scent expectations?
Emporio Armani Diamonds black carat for her is a fruity floriental with vanilla, freesia, rose and benzoin, but any excessive Escada perfume (read over-fruitiness) is a masterpiece near this "parfum de pacotille".
