The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 and created by perfumer Annick Menardo, Ikat Rouge by Giorgio Armani is a complex Oriental Woody fragrance that balances bright citrus with smoky warmth. The composition opens with bergamot, incense, and labdanum before settling into a rich base of iris, patchouli, amber, and guaiac wood. This interplay between fresh and warm notes creates an enveloping scent that is both modern and lasting.
Apply Ikat Rouge to pulse points for maximum warmth — it blooms into its woody base within an hour. The smoky top notes are bright but brief, so layering is key to capturing both facets of this fragrance.
