Basenotes says...
Giorgio Armani fragrances are renound for their mass-appeal. At the time of writing, Acqua di Gio pour Homme is the number one men's fragrance in the world, and as a fragrance brand, Armani is ranked three in the world.
So it seems a little off-kilter for Giorgio Armani to launch a range of four luxury' scents, not designed to appeal to everyone, subject to a strictly limited distribution and, dare I say it, going a bit niche on us.
Each fragrance is encased in a glass-lined wooden (African Kotibe wood) container, with a pebble-like cap. The fragrances aren't designed to be masculine, nor feminine and will sit on both men's and women's fragrance counters. Launched in December in selected stores such as Harrods, Bon Marche, 10 Corso Como and El Corte Ingles.
A gift set containing all four scents will also be available for US$740.

   |  Jade is a sparkling scent that reminds me of Bulgari's Blv Notte Pour Homme & somewhat of Azzaro's Chrome. I get a slightly metallic feel - which is not off-putting in the least - it keeps this composition bright and edgy! Because of the two previously mentioned associations, for my taste I'd say it leans toward the masculine...but in truth it is completely unisex. On a woman, it seems more 'fresh' than metallic. Not florally or aldehydic. Interesting. I'm enjoying the bergamot/neroli blend, sort of compelling - thumbs up!09 May 2009 |
  |  Lovely, absolutely lovely. The mingling of the floral notes with the pepper is attractive and enchanting all the way down to the very light and boozy base. Outstanding longevity and wonderful diffusion.Highly recommended. 17 April 2009 |
 |  "What's so prive about it?" That's what I found myself asking as I put on Eau de Jade from the Armani Prive collection. Average-smelling, this is an unspectacular citrusy cologne with a hint of pepper. I certainly did not find it worthy of its high-end retail price of $100+. I couldn't even justify spending $30 on it at Marshall's.10 April 2009 |
 | Neroli. One of my favorite notes. I love Neroli Sauvage by Creed and Castile by Penhaligon's. This is a peppery neroli. The drydown is boozy like Paul Smith London. I don't get any vanilla, though. Kinda meh but not terrible. 29 June 2008 |
   | Pretty dull. I had hoped for a more sparkling and refreshing bergamot-based cologne, but instead I hardly get bergamot at all. I'd say this is a neroli-dominated fragrance, soft and sweetish and vaguely reminiscent of cleaning fluid. Neroli has such an artificial scent, even when it's perfectly natural. It can work in a rich, heavy, oriental/gourmandy fragrances but I don't think it works at all in supposedly refreshing colognes. 19 June 2007 |
 | Very soft fragrance. The bergamot/neroli/vanilla notes start begin like fine milled french soap or crisp crisp freshly pressed linen. The middle notes add soft pepper and possibly Iris for a powdery dry finish that is similar to Divine's L'Homme d Couer. A softer and more refined relative to Armani's Mania - clean, smoothe but with much less spice. A sublte refinement. 16 February 2007 |
