Armani Prive is a premium line of fragrances by the famous Italian designer Giorgio Armani, which is regularly updated with new, even more vibrant and luxurious collector's editions. One of the novelties of 2020 was the refined oriental-spicy composition Giorgio Armani Prive Ikat Bleu, released in a strictly limited number of copies. The fragrance immediately appealed to true connoisseurs of premium oriental scents with a rich history and a colorful sound on the skin. The inspiration for the perfumer was a unique coloring technique that came to us from the islands of exotic Indonesia.

A complex and multilevel process connects the visual and fantasy worlds, helps to tune in to a philosophical mood and opens up a path to self-knowledge, which helps to get to know yourself better and find answers to the most exciting questions. To create the formula, a talented perfumer with vast experience, the lovely Juliette Karagueuzoglou, was involved in cooperation, who chose not only traditional oriental chords for her work, but also softer and more pliable notes of flowers and sunny southern citrus.

The magical sound of Giorgio Armani Prive Ikat Bleu opens with light cool vibes of sunny bergamot and warm pink pepper. The hypnotic melody is gaining momentum, unfolding in the heart of the picture with intense waves of resinous incense, patchouli and a delicate powdery veil of shades of noble iris. The ”star" of the train was a rare black vanilla, which creates a huge space for meditation. Her radiance is surrounded by soft woody accents of guaiac and sensual musk.
