What does Armani Privé - Ikat Rouge smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening, night out and leisure lead the occasions. More voters read it as feminine than masculine, though a fair share see it as masculine, so it sits somewhere in between.

Iris, patchouli, labdanum, frankincense, bergamot and gaiac wood read together as one whole. A spicy, oriental sweetness meets a powdery softness, while resin and smoke weigh down the woody base. Armani Privé - Ikat Bleu and Guerlain Bois d'Arménie have a close profile.
