Giorgio Beverly Hills Red is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1989, created by Bob Aliano. Red opens with Hyacinth, Bergamot, Orange Blossom, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Giorgio Beverly Hills's Red carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This 80s powerhouse is a total blast from the past, though not without its detractors. Love it or hate it, Red is a force of nature - a bold, spicy cherry bomb that commands attention. Go easy on the trigger; a little goes a very long way.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for an office setting, as many reviews highlight its 'too much' quality. The rich, sensual accords and strong sillage are perfect for dates and formal events, though some find it acceptable for casual wear with careful application.

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.

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

Red opens with a vibrant, sparkling burst of aldehydes and juicy cherry, complemented by the creamy sweetness of peach and orange blossom. As it settles, a complex floral heart emerges with spicy carnation, opulent rose, and heady tuberose, balanced by green hyacinth. The rich base of earthy oakmoss, smoky incense, warm amber, and creamy vanilla provides a long-lasting, sensual finish, creating a captivating woody-amber aroma with a distinct cherry wine depth.
