Giorgio Armani Armani Prive Rouge Malachite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Pascal Gaurin. Armani Prive Rouge Malachite opens with Tuberose, Pink Pepper, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Amber. Giorgio Armani's Armani Prive Rouge Malachite carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive yet adored, Rouge Malachite is a luxurious white floral bomb. Some find it a sophisticated masterpiece, others a screechy disappointment. Sample first, but if it clicks, expect compliments and a serious confidence boost.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

An opulent, creamy white floral that opens with a vibrant, subtly spicy kick from pink pepper and clary sage. The heart beats with a rich, heady blend of tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, softened by cashmeran and a hint of orange blossom. It settles into a warm, sensual amber base, creating a truly magnetic and enveloping experience.
