What is oud wood? Oud is a resin produced by the Indonesian Agarwood tree when it is infected by fungus. The resin is an immune response that permeates the wood and creates a complex leathery/sour/woody/salty/ambery-smelling substance used in traditional Arab perfumes and eastern incenses. Oud is an increasingly popular ingredient in western-style fragrances.

What is attar? Attar is the Arabic word for fragrance, and is traditional form of perfume made from distilled florals and resins.

Diamonds Fragrance is available online now at http://www.giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com/DIAMONDS The official commercial for Emporio Armani Diamonds fragrance featuring Beyonce.

When creating Emporio Armani Diamonds, Giorgio Armani had the Emporio Armani woman in mind; a woman who could be strong, confident, feminine and very sexy, a symbol of the 21st century, someone who is living her life like a fascinating current event. When Giorgio Armani chose the name Diamonds, he meant a symbol of audacity, of sexiness with elegance and desireability, reflecting the sparkle, brilliance and strength of this irresistible stone.

Who better than this astonishing actress, brilliant performer, friend of the house, to be the face and voice of the new Emporio Armani fragrance? Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and Emporio Armani has a new incomparable best friend. Her name is Beyonce.
