CreamyWhat does Armani Privé - Gardénia Antigua smell like?
It opens fresh and fruity with pink pepper, mandarin orange and neroli, a touch of spice running through it. The heart turns to ylang-ylang, jasmine and gardenia, leaning green, sweet and creamy. Patchouli, white musk and ambergris close it with a soft, powdery base.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, daily wear and the office best. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Isabey Fleur Nocturne and M. Micallef EdenFalls have a close profile.
