What does Armani Privé - Ikat Bleu smell like?

Iris and Bourbon vanilla build the soft, powdery, creamy side of the scent. Pink pepper and bergamot add a spicy, bright touch, while patchouli, frankincense and gaiac wood lay down a woody, smoky base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind, and it suits leisure, evenings and nights out. More voters read it as feminine, though a sizeable share call it masculine. Armani Privé - Ikat Rouge and Moonlight Patchouli have a close profile.
