What it is: Part of the broader Armani Les Eaux collection, the company has unveiled four new scents for 2020. In vibrant shades of peach, pink and green, the new Les Eaux additions includes Thé Yulong, Gardénia Antigua, Rose Milano and Jasmin Kusamono. Each elixir is housed within the iconic Armani/Privé blown-glass square bottle.
What we say: Our tester tried the Rose Milano scent, an eau de toilette that is billed as combining notes of the “delicate Damascena rose” with “earthy” elements of chypre.
“Rose Milano is an olfactory haute couture fragrance imagined by Giorgio Armani as a tribute to Milan, a city that is more than an emblem of fashion, it is home to the fashion of Giorgio Armani. Through this olfactory signature scent, he wanted to encapsulate his vision of the Milanese elegance, both raw and refined,” according to a news release.
The scent features top notes of bergamot accord and Primofiore lemon; middle notes of rose Damascena absolute and Grandiflorum Jasmine absolute; and base notes of patchouli essence.
At first spritz, the scent is floral and refined. The addition of sharp citrus notes serve to brighten the overall appeal, which will undoubtedly help to endear this elixir to those who might otherwise turn up their nose at a rose scent.
The fragrance dries down to a soft, subtle scent with a hint of patchouli that lingered on our tester’s skin into the evening hours.
