The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016, Armani Prive Rouge Malachite by Giorgio Armani is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Pascal Gaurin. This composition opens with a bright burst of tuberose and pink pepper, which gives way to a heart of jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang, creating a lush floral blend. The base notes of benzoin, cashmeran, orange blossom, and amber provide warmth and depth, making this fragrance a harmonious blend of white florals and subtle animalic nuances.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays — the bright tuberose and pink pepper notes are fleeting but impactful. The base of amber and benzoin develops slowly over time, making this fragrance ideal for layering or wearing close to the skin.
