The story behind the bottle.
Idole d'Armani by Giorgio Armani was launched in 2009 and was created by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic. This fragrance is a blend of fruity, sweet, and aromatic notes that create an intriguing contrast between freshness and warmth. The opening notes of ginger, pear, and clementine give way to a heart of honey, bitter orange, and almond, creating a harmonious interplay of sweetness and spiciness. The base notes of vetiver, patchouli, and styrax ground the composition with earthy richness.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points and allow it to settle on your skin for a few minutes before heading out. The initial burst of freshness will give way to a warmer, more complex scent as the day progresses.
