Reviews of Emporio Armani Night He (2003)
by Giorgio Armani

Not bad, but not an earth-shattering experience either. A nice enough blend of citrus top notes, with a spicy heart and a woody-incense base. Some find it very sensual, but now that I have moved firmly into the niche market, I actually find it very synthetic as opposed to sensual. Decent longevity of around 6-8 hours.

One of my favourites from the Emporio Armani collection, actually I think this IS my favourite. This one works especially well with Armani sweaters in the winter. Perfect for a night out or a meet and greet, but also works perfectly well for an afternoon lunch - it well set the mood for later. Sensual and very sexy.

Highly recommended. A VERY enthusiastic Thumbs UP!

At last! An Armani that I can respect … I thought that would never find another one besides the original Armani Eau Pour Homme. I’ve always found that Armani made refined, well constructed, great smelling fragrances. I also thought most of them were entirely too recessive, too safe, too expensive, and nowhere near as creative as they should be. I don’t feel that way about Emporio Night He… This one is darn good. I’m not exactly crazy about the violet note in the opening, but everything else adds up to excellence: There is a refined and discreet citrus opening; a refined and discreet spicy middle; and an enticing and discreet woody base. The accords have depth and character. This one is still not as creative as it could be but it has very goods accords, good sillage, acceptable longevity, and comfortable wearablity; but Emporio Armani Night is still too expensive for what it delivers.

A great fragrance, I think it has the best usage of spices ever. The opening has a lovely fresh-spicy scent (I can smell the pepper immediately, it's not necessarily a mid-note ingredient), while the warm drydown is a pure joy. A must have.

I must to say "Night" is good, one of the best of Armani, but the "Mania (original) of Armani" was much better in my experince, the girls are not so excited with me using "Night". But is the best of Armani for men in production today. The Actual Mania in production is not good.

Nice, but very similar to Antaeus. This is probably the only acceptable fragrance from Armani. I rather consider it a daytime fragrance , but this is a matter of taste and personal chemistry.

Love it! for it is very distinctive of all of the emporio armani frangrances and the only one that lasts all day when i wear it, a spring/summer fragrance that has a very strong citrusy feel.

A great scent for the evening! more for indimate situations as the fragrance does not have much 'reach'. however up close it is a strong, woody and sensual. personally i feel it is the best of the 'he' fragrances( including city glam).

Exquisite, but no difference whatsoever to Roma Uomo. The same powdery grapefruit- fruity sweetness.

I really like this one. I think is the best of all the EA He scents(normal,white and night). It's sweet but not so much, it's sexual as well, i like the way it lasts and it feels like hot smoke with some fruits. I do not like the bottle, do not like the packing, and the spray it's not the best either. The smell makes up for all of that.

Maybe this one needs to grown on me but for right now I don't know what to think. You see, I have the packaging the bottle came in, the box and the receipt and it says Armani Night He but I'll be damed if what I'm wearing sounds anything like what's been described so far. There is no tangerine or grapefruit or any citrus at all to me, I think I smelled some violet in the beginning but this could be wishful thinking. I'm left with a very sharp drydown, wouldn't call it sensual at all. The myrrh doesn't seem to be tempered by the wood or patchouli and the pepper note I pick up isn't helping matters. It's unique but I must be missing something to fully appreciate it.

this scent really sucks. a big waste of money

A great evening scent! Not very long-lasting on me, but I love it nonetheless. The violet note is an unusual one, but somehow suitable in this sexy fragrance. Fits right in to the many oriental scents that are around (Le Male, Britto, Azzarro Pure Lavender, etc.), with a striking, airy distinction that must be smelled to understand. Like the bottle too, with the rubber button on a simple looking metal cannister. Too bad it has been removed from just about all store shelves; but good news is, it can be found
in discount stores on a wide scale for a good price. :)

For some reason this one vaguely reminds me of Fahrenheit, but of course with that added syntheticness of later Armanis. I perceive Night as being very sharp and unpleasant, even cloying. Didn't do particularly well here, maybe because of the aforementioned?

Perfect scent. I love it. Gets many compliments. Lasts very long.

I am completely blown away by this fragrance. It is wonderfully floral thanks to violet absolute and deeply sensual on the drydown due to the sweet amber and myrrh. Terrific!

What's Armani Night like? I would put it as a toned-down Individuel or JPG Le Male. The violet note in this one is what you must look out for. It is less dominant/brusque than the Lavender and Jasmine which most masculine scents prefer to use. It appears for about 5-10 minutes in the topnotes before melting into the heart which has the aromatic sage. The woods in this one is Cedar and Patchouli, and the accord produced is powdery. It is a well-balanced scent. I alternate between this and Rive Gauche, with Rive Gauche being the louder one of the two. They complement each other well, depending on your mood. Some people have made comments that it is similar to Armani Mania and i would say, only in the topnotes are they somewhat akin. After awhile, Mania turns mossy and disappears while Night becomes powdery sweet and lingers. I suppose you could say Armani "fixed" Mania's longevity problem with some Myrrh and patchouli. At night, it is simply sexy!!!Not the overly masculine sexiness like Vendetta or the classic sexiness of Obsession/Opium nor the arcane sexiness of Costume Scent Intense or DK Fuel or the smooth sexiness of Caron's 3rd Man, but a nonchalant sexiness that's just right as if saying "This is all i need, no more, no less." I wear it in black for a slightly gothic touch. Trust me, it gets attention your way! Just look unconcerned, contemplative and when they ask you what you're wearing, calmly say "Oh, that?... Armani Night" in a couldn't care less sort of way.

VERY SEXY. THIS WOULD GET MY ATTENTION ANY DAY. ITS SOFT AND A LITTLE SIMILAR TO J.P.G. CLASSIC ARMANI

My favorite Armani fragrance...a wonderful warm powdery drydown of subtle spice and woods after a bright opening of citrus fruit, similar to White for him, but with a warmer base!
