The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Onde Vertige by Giorgio Armani was launched in 2008 and is a Woody Aromatic fragrance crafted by perfumers Jacques Cavallier and Azniv Buzantian. This scent opens with the bright, tropical notes of jasmine and frangipani, which create an immediate sense of warmth and brightness. As it settles into its heart and base, licorice and incense add a soft spiciness that contrasts beautifully with the lush florals, while patchouli provides earthy depth and grounding. The composition is balanced by balsamic and amber notes, giving Onde Vertige an enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Onde Vertige two to three times to areas like your neck or wrists. The top notes are vibrant but fade within an hour, so you’ll want to rely on the heart and base notes for lasting warmth and depth. It’s best suited for evenings when you want a scent that evolves throughout the night.
