Rose d'Artiste

by Marie Salamagne

Giorgio Armani Rose d'Artiste is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Marie Salamagne. Rose d'Artiste opens with Orange Blossom and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Iris, Violet, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Ambroxan and Myrrh. Giorgio Armani's Rose d'Artiste carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Divisive and wildly overpriced, this 'Art of Pink' isn't for everyone. While some find it a sophisticated, powdery iris dream, others get artificial clag and a screaming plastic mess. Don't expect roses, do expect to pay a king's ransom for average performance.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Winter

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its intimate sillage and powdery, sophisticated character make it suitable for formal events and dates, as it's unlikely to overpower. However, its poor longevity and high price make it less practical for daily casual wear or office use, especially considering its 'ghost of fragrance' performance.

About

Rose d'Artiste opens with a fleeting zesty bergamot, quickly giving way to a powdery heart of iris and violet, warmed by subtle incense. The dry down hints at a soft, almost waxy amber and myrrh, maintaining a cosmetic-like sweetness. It's a predominantly floral, powdery scent with an underlying oriental richness, but definitely not a rose.
