My Way
Giorgio Armani (2020)

I don't know what it was, maybe the tuberose, but My Way made me think of a reconstructed Poison.

Top
They say: Bergamot and Orange Blossom (vs Poison's plum and berries)
I get: "Passionfruit" with a bit of over-ripe papaya funk. Ick.
Both OG Poison and My Way have funky, almost pukey, openings that I just can't get past.

Mid
They say: Tuberose!
I get: Poison-style tuberose - sharp, pointy, and almost industrial.

Base
They say: Beautiful vanilla woody musk!
I get: Dull modern aromachemical musk that I can barely smell. For that, I am grateful.
This is a classic example of "base as afterthought." It's there because it's the end result of whatever they used in the top and mid to fix it onto the skin, not because they tried for any sort of sensory experience.

My sense is that this is all packaging and they didn't bother to budget for the actual scent.
The brief - "Poison! But ORANGE!" (oh...and if you can get that tuberose aromachemical on a discount, that would be great...)

People are buying it and the multiple flankers - so the strategy must be working.

initially way too damn strong and suffocating but dries down into a very pleasant floral smell. im not sure what yall mean by pedestrian 😭 makes me feel like im gonna go shopping

Orange blossom and tuberose were massive in the 80's. Here they returned in 2020 veiled under a cloud of dusty fruit.
My Way doesn't have the crazy insouciance of the 80's extravaganzas, nor does it have the crass fruitiness and nuclear radiance, or the tendency to break down into a haze of ambroxan - as many young feminines do.
Being cute, and inoffensive, it doesn't fail the SmellGood test; but is it the scent of an Individual - doing it Their Way? I think not.

Is it safe? Yes. Pedestrian? Kinda, yeah… I can agree with that. Boring? Okay, I can even see that. But to me, not every fragrance has to be a work of art. Sometimes I want to wear something that will just be pleasant and agreeable, and I have no worries about it being offensive to anyone. Something I can grab no matter what the weather is like. If I was setting out to impress someone, this wouldn’t be my choice. But for what it is, I quite like it a lot. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a good T-shirt and jeans kinda perfume. Or even one I reach for when I’m trying to just get through the day and make it seem like I put some effort in. It’s got a sweet and happy vibe to it. And it never gives me a headache.

i don't know all the notes but they're suppose to be pleasant (and they are). the problem is there is so much 'pleasantness' that suffocates you that the thing that comes to mind when i smell it is the phrase 'smells like bullshit'

A pedestrian fruity floral. It kicks off with that mix of fake strawberry and fake peach you smell in every intentionally unremarkable perfume, topped with a rather stereotypical pinch of mint. There's a short-lived apricot note that's only there to give the illusion for a few seconds on a test strip that this doesn't smell like a thousand other discounter perfumes.

It gets milky for a second, but ends up as a loud, 80's-style soapy white floral with the lingering cheap fruit mixed in. In a way, I have to give this credit for not drying down to a base of marshmallow, pink pepper, or fabric softener, any of which I would have assumed based on how deeply uncreative this is, but that's very faint praise, as the soapy flowers are very much a cheap perfume cliche of their own.
