The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Ikat Bleu by Giorgio Armani is a composition that juxtaposes the freshness of pink pepper and bergamot with the warmth of incense and black vanilla husk. Perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou has crafted a scent that oscillates between bright aromatic top notes and an enveloping base of woody, smoky, and musky accords. The heart of iris and patchouli adds depth and complexity to this unisex fragrance, creating a balance that is both contemporary and lasting.

How to wear it

Apply Ikat Bleu in light sprays to allow the fragrance to develop naturally on your skin. The pink pepper and bergamot are fleeting, so wait for the incense and woody base to emerge before venturing out. This scent is best enjoyed close to the skin rather than diffused across a room.
