GIORGIO ARMANI: ARMANI PRIVE NEW YORK
Armani Prive New York is joining the luxurious fragrance collection, Armani Prive, and came out in August 2017 as a limited edition dedicated to this metropolis, its history and culture. The ingredients used in this collection are clean and noble, and each creation is described as “an unequivocal balance of perfection, the quintessence of rare and luminous ingredients…a masterly haute parfumerie creation designed to exalt moments of pure emotion.”
Armani Prive New York, inspired by the freedom and modern vision of luxury related to New York City, is announced as luminous and sophisticated composition created by young perfumer Fanny Bal (IFF). Sparkling top notes introduce aldehydes, citrus blossom and spices. Iris, a frequent component of this line, makes the heart of the perfume together with the dominant flower of peony and powdery elements. The base ends with a combination of white musk, woods and vanilla.
“Light, sensuality, and enveloping softness: the fragrance New York is a mirror of the American city, feminine and sophisticated, imbued with a spirit of freedom.”
