Idole d'Armani
by Giorgio Armani
Idole d'Armani is a bold, complex fragrance with a distinctive character that stands out in the world of designer perfumes. It opens with a sharp, slightly medicinal blend of bitter orange, ginger, and artemisia, creating an initially intense and confrontational impression. This edge is softened by a juicy, sweet pear note that introduces a luminous freshness. The heart reveals warm, creamy jasmine and rose, enhanced by saffron and honey, giving it a sensual, opulent depth. The base combines patchouli, styrax, and vetiver, creating a dry, earthy, slightly balsamic and musky foundation that grounds the composition. The result is a fragrance that feels rich, elegant, and sophisticated, with a unique blend of sweetness and bitterness. While some describe its opening as overpowering or even
