Launched in 2021 by Giorgio Armani and crafted by perfumer Carlos Benaïm, My Way Intense is a sophisticated Oriental Floral fragrance that balances bright citrus with the rich warmth of vanilla and tuberose. The composition opens with orange blossom and bitter orange, creating a fresh yet slightly complex top layer. At its heart lies Indian tuberose, which gives way to Madagascar vanilla and sandalwood in the base, adding depth and an almost animalic warmth. This fragrance is a proof of Giorgio Armani's legacy of elegance and refinement, blending traditional Italian flair with modern sensibilities.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. The base notes of vanilla and sandalwood take about an hour to fully bloom, making this fragrance best suited for evening wear or special occasions.
