The story behind the bottle.
Onde Extase by Giorgio Armani was launched in 2008 and crafted by perfumer Bruno Jovanovic. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with a vibrant green aromatic accord that captures the freshness of early morning dew on leaves. As it settles, yellow florals and white florals intertwine to create an effervescent heart, while powdery and woody notes ground the composition in a warm, enveloping base. The result is a scent that oscillates between lightness and depth, making it as suitable for day as it is for evening.
Apply Onde Extase with two sprays to capture its full range. The aromatic and green top notes are fleeting, but they set the stage for the rich floral heart that blooms after about half an hour. Its powdery base ensures a long-lasting warmth, making it perfect for evening wear.
