Giorgio Armani Vert Malachite & Rouge Malachite (2016)

Giorgio Armani will launch a new duo of perfumes called Vert Malachite and Rouge Malachite in a new series entitled Terres Précieuses (Precious Lands), in their exclusive collection Armani/Privé...

The two new eaux de parfum are dedicated to Russia, presenting themselves as floral compositions centering on lily and tuberose, repectively.

Malachite is an iconic semi-precious in the Russian culture of luxury where it was used on a munumental scale in lieu of marble sometimes to construct palatial architectural elements such as columns.

Earlier on, designer Giorgio Armani devoted his Haute Couture fall-winter 2015-2016 baptized "Shocking" to an exploration of bejeweled tones taking inspiration from the rich colors of semi-precious stones such as malachite, amethyst, lapis-lazuli etc.

The scents will debut in January 2016.
