The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1998 by Giorgio Armani and crafted by perfumer Daniela Andrier, Emporio Armani Lei is a composition that marries the freshness of citrus with the warmth of powdery florals. The opening notes of lime, tuberose, and bergamot create a crisp and radiant beginning, giving way to the heart's rich layers of jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and heliotrope. This transition is seamlessly woven into the base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and musk, which provide a grounding warmth that lingers throughout the day.
Emporio Armani Lei has a moderate sillage, so apply it generously to pulse points. The citrus top notes will dissipate quickly, but the powdery base will stay close to your skin for hours, ensuring you remain enveloped in its warmth.
