Armani

by Ron Winnegrad

Giorgio Armani Armani is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1981, created by Ron Winnegrad. Armani opens with Pineapple, Marigold, Mint, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Narcissus, Tuberose, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Musk, and Cedar. Giorgio Armani's Armani carries an Acquired verdict, a earthy-led wear.

This 80s icon is a love-it-or-rue-its-discontinuation kind of fragrance. A powerhouse chypre that defined an era of bold, singular scent statements, it’s still sorely missed by those who knew it. If you can track down a vintage bottle, prepare for a captivating journey.

Best Seasons

Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and lasting power make it less suitable for office wear, but perfect for date nights or formal events where making a statement is key. The complex, rich profile, described by many as a 'foghorn,' needs space to shine, suggesting casual wear might be too much for some.

About

Armani opens with a vibrant, almost shocking burst of green galbanum and aldehydes, sharpened by a hint of mint and juicy pineapple. The heart blooms into a rich, complex floral bouquet, where narcissus, rose, and tuberose intertwine with earthy orris. As it settles, a deep, mossy base of oakmoss, amber, and sandalwood emerges, lending a sophisticated, grounding warmth that lingers for ages.
