Since I've been here (April 2013), I've bought 5-6 perfumes... which was also foretold to me here... going bankrupt while smelling good in every situation has its charm:-)!!! But where will this end? Perhaps with the Creed Platinum Card;-)??? Anyway... I bought DHI blind at the beginning of this week... due to the praises here...(Hymn with 2 "M"s looks a bit strange!)... almost simultaneously, I ordered Armani Eau de Nuit... despite the very mediocre reviews here. Left wrist DHI ... right wrist Armani. The crème de la crème of perfume reviewers will now groan loudly... blasphemy... comparing THE classic with a mainstream scent... that would be just as bad as pouring sparkling water into your Barolo '97 for a spritzer. But even in wine, you can have the super classic and the new trend wine side by side... and both can be delightful. I must admit... my nose definitely leans more towards Armani. This is probably because I am generally very attracted to the Armanis of this world... whether it’s Lui, Code, or now Nuit, they all have something special (something similar) in them that I love! Admittedly, for both fragrances, today’s weather... 29 degrees and direct sunlight is almost overkill. I found DHI good... but not great... but 2 hours later, a downpour... purified clear clean air after the thunderstorm and the scent literally explodes and gains so much... now I can even detect a fresh note... that wasn’t there for over 2 hours... so delicious!!!! The Armani remains excellent throughout... both are very noble, enchanting scents... powdery-elegant... DHI just has a whole lot more of everything. DHI will certainly have several opportunities to show itself in the typical German summer (rain and temperature drops)... but its true strength will only come into play in autumn and/or winter. The Armani is clearly more suitable for everyday wear here... it works in summer without direct sunlight. DHI is not an option for me in the office in a suit... rather for an elegant evening event... could create a highly explosive mix with the many "Aliens" (TM) of the women;-)! The purchase of both perfumes was absolutely worth it... it’s just like with wines... DHI is more like the Barolo that needs a lot of air... and after hours loses its edges and you find access to it... but then it is an incomparable and unmistakable delight. The Armani is more like the luxury star winemaker Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley that is immediately pleasing... round... easy-drinking and flattering... so cheers:-)))!
