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.

Orris and Sand: La Collection Sabbie Mediterranee by Armani

by: Serguey Borisov

The Mediterranean sand beaches have become the starting point for the fashion collection Sabbia by Giorgio Armani Couture (Spring-Summer 2015) and for its fragrant interpretation La Sabbie Mediterranee Collection 2015. Sand, its soft fluid texture and light-and-shade-play of colors, and the sparks that show in sandy terrain, were embodied in two perfumes named Armani Privé Edition Couture Sable Or and Sable Fumé. The perfumes were released as a limited edition (just like haute couture fashion!): only 1000 bottles of each. They will be distributed throughout various countries in the world, so there will be only five bottles of each at  the official website.

Armani Privé Edition Couture Sable Or and Sable Fumé

The tradition of Armani Privé Edition Couture limited edition perfumes started in 2011 and has become a staple annual accompaniment for the women's Cruise or Spring-Summer collection of Armani Couture. The previous versions—chocolate gourmandLa Femme Bleue, milky musky La Femme Nacre, vetiver woody Nuances and jasmin rich Ombre & Lumière—were launched in smaller numbers, and in a very short time they all disappeared from the shelves and found their wealthy mistresses.

But we should mention that Armani Privé Edition Couture perfumes have their common “fragrant key”: the Florentine orris note. A typical Italian note, known from the hills of Tuscany—powdery, woody and translucent, weightless and still palpable, uncertain and persistent, noble and elegant. This is a nobility that manifests itself gradually. Being just excavated from soil, the iris rhizome is a tuber that looks like a hairy potato, and it smells quite like fresh carrots or potatoes. It must be peeled, dried and kept for several years at a constant temperature and humidity to achieve the desired chemical transformations. To get the noble product of orris absolute, reminiscent of the smell of powder with the color of sunset clouds, from the bitterness of this “hairy potato” takes time, knowledge, technical skills and experience.

Orris

There's an orris theme in the new perfume duo of La Sabbie Mediterranee too. InSable Or, the perfume of sunny bright sand, we can smell a matte, white, woody orris and fresh violet, both paired with light gourmand notes. The vanilla pods, cocoa beans and sweet milky sandalwood try to turn orris powder into a light marshmallow cloud in the chocolate skies. At the behest of perfumers Sophie Labbé and Nelly Hachem, the proportion of the gourmand chord is relatively small (compared to the orris) and resembles a warm scented breeze near a confectionery shop. So the warm orris ofSable Or barely flickers by the sweets (the tonka bean notes are especially distinguished), staying in the woody-mineral area, supported by white musks. The sillage is not particularly long, but due to the high concentration it has quite impressive resilience.

Sable Fumé, the perfume of a darker shade of sand, takes as allies the vigorous berry sharpness of pink pepper first, then the clear essence of incense, and finally a little damp, delicate suede. The resinous and even green character of Sable Fumé appears gradually over several hours. As a result, not a smoky or smoked, but a chic, fresh and energetic fragrance with an almost masculine sporty figure (and probably with esoteric and pleasant thoughts) emerges. You can smell the paint and varnish motifs, some colophony powder, some fresh damp mushrooms, some sweet tree saps and the marine salted ambroxan. The green and spicy parts are quite unexpected for a pensive meditative orris aristocrat, which is usually imagined with incense-scented fingers (a certain relationship with the wet sand smell still could be smelled). Thanks for this should be addressed to perfumer Nicolas Beaulieu—although orris with incense is probably the most frequently performed duet in niche perfumery since its start. For example, I just wanted to file Sable Fumé in the incense collection Comme Des Garçons Series 3: Incense , and leave it near Incense Zagorsk. We could call it Incense: Saint-Petersburg.

Pivoine Suzhou Armani Prive

por: Serguey Borisov

A coleção Armani Prive, estabelecida como uma linha exclusiva de fragrâncias (em contraste com as mais populares fragrâncias Giorgio Armani e Emporio Armani), foi ampliada com uma nova fragrância. Pivoine Suzho Armani Prive é dedicado àPaeonia suffruticosa, e À cidade chinesa de Suzhou—a antiga capital da seda chinesa, “Veneza do Oriente” famosa por seus antigos jardins.

Previamente, os designers de moda e os trendsetters criaram perfumes para exprimir o espírito Haute Couture: Chanel №5, Miss Dior, L'Interdit, Succes Fou, e Cabochardforam criados por essa razão...

Hoje, o espírito da Haute Couture pode ser encontrado apenas nas coleções exclusivas de fragrâncias tais como Armani Prive. Cada fragrância Armani Prive é como um vestido de alta costura perfeitamente construído. Armani Prive é uma linha composta de quatro coleções diferentes, cada uma com seu estilo e inspiração.

Por isso, Les Editions Couture é produzida em edições muito limitadas. Estas fragrâncias são associadas com as coleções anuais Armani Pret-a-Porter Primavera/Verão (La Femme Bleue, La Femme Nacre, Nuances, Ombre & Lumiere). La Collection apresenta ingredientes lendárioa da perfumaria (por exemplo, Cuir Amethyste ou Encens Satin). Armani Prive começou com esta linha.

A coleção Les Mille et Une Nuits dá-nos o luxo e o esplendor dos aromas orientais (Oud Royal e Myrrhe Imperiale). As leves e refrescantes fragrâncias Les Eaux são hinos à Mãe Natureza, batizadas a partir dos jardins míticos. A nova fragrância de peônia Pivoine Suzhou é a última da coleção Les Eaux em que Vetiver Babylone,Rose Alexandrie, Figuier Eden, Cedre Olympe e Orange Alhambra foram lançadas anteriormente.

Os jardins do Rio Yangtze existem há 26 séculos. Os clássicos jardins Suzhou são obras de arte antigas da arquitetura paisagista, tais como “O Jardim do Humilde Administrador,” “O Jardim do Mestre das Redes,” “O Jardim da Toca do Leão” e “O Jardim que Demora,” que são Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO desde 2000.

O Jardim do Humilde Administrador

O Jardim da Toca do Leão

O Jardim que Demora

A ligação histórica entre Itália e a China remonta a Marco Polo, que chamou Zhouzhuang, subúrbio de Suzhou, a Veneza do Oriente—e ao próprio Giorgio Armani, usando os bordados de seda chinesa e os mestres locais na sua Couture, estabelecendo uma ligação moderna.

A flor de peônia (mudan) é um dos mais populares símbolos da China. O lótus, o crisântemo, a ameixa de inverno, o osmanthus, azálea, o chá ou a orquídea poderiam possivelmente lutar com a peônia por um s posição simbólica, mas desde 1903, a flor de peônia se tornou num símbolo nacional, e até hoje o povo chinês reconhece a primazia da peônia de muitas formas.

A árvore da peônia, Paeonia suffruticosa, (ao contrário da peônia de folhas estreitas, e trinta outras espécies) é considerada na China como “a mais bela mulher do país com um aroma celestial.” As flores de peônia são associadas com o nome de uma das quatro Grandes Belezas da China, cuja beleza fazia os peixes se afundarem, faz os pássaros caírem, eclipsa a lua e envergonha as flores:

"De acordo com a lenda, Yang Guifei estava admirando as flores de peônia e sofrendo no jardim por causa de seu destino. Assim que tocou nas flores, elas se enrolaram, e seus caules se inclinaram para a frente. Uma das serviçais viu e contou a uma das esposas do imperador que Yang Guifei é tão belo que as flores se inclinam em embaraço."

A árvore da peônia é cultivada na China há dois mil anos, e a maior parte das variedades árvores de peônia são da China. Existem algumas árvores de peônia, conhecidas nas Dinastias Ming (séculos XIV - XVI) e Sun (séculos X - XIII). Como o povo chinês diz, “A pônia é testemunha da felicidade.” As flores de peônia são presente de noivado em proposta de casamento, e a peônia está sempre presente nos casamentos, para trazer felicidade, paz, prosperidade e riqueza. A peônia é a flor mais importante do feng shui. Acredita-se que uma peônia em flor atrai a riqueza, por isso é bom plantá-la perto de casa. A maior força pertence à peônia com flores brancas.

A peônia, imperatriz das flores é um símbolo da aristocracia e das altas patentes. Na antiguidade, os oficiais e a nobreza usavam fatos cerimoniais a iam ao parque observar a beleza das peônias em flor, com uma cerimônia especial. Apenas um monge muito belo e elegante com um rosto pálido tinha o direito de regar as peônias nos lardins imperiais. Uma bela moça em roupas especiais olhava pelas flores, lavando suas folhas. Hoje, é possível encontrar jardins inteiros plantados apenas com peônias, com uma vasta seleção de espécies e variedades na China.

Pivoine Suzhou Armani Prive e sua criação foram entregues aos perfumistas da Mane, Cecile Matton e Julie Masse:

"Nosso objetivo foi recriar o cheiro da paônia, uma das mais veneradas flores na Ásia. A flor é símbolo da feminilidade e da beleza. Quisemos criar uma peônia asiática no estilo Giorgio Armani—uma fragrância austera e lacônica que reflecte um carinho magnificente por esta flor multifacetada.
 A peônia tem um aroma fresco verde, ligeiramente frutal com notas de rosa. Mas a flor é tão delicada que não dá qualquer óleo essencial ou absoluto para os perfumistas. Por isso temos de recrear este aroma usando acordes de outras flores. Como resultado, decidimos transferir a textura do botão da flor: a variedade das mais finas pétalas que formam uma estrutura densa, mas leve. A peônia nesta fragrância é similar ao chiffon multi-camadas: claro, radiante, sensual."

Cecile Matton:
"Minha mãe tinha um pequeno jardim onde ela cultivava muitas flores diferentes, incluindo peônias. É um luxo—ter um pedaço de natureza perto de Paris. Eu não sei como ela fez isso, mas suas peônias eram incrivelmente grandes e com um forte mas delicado aroma. Esta é uma de minhas flores de jardim favoritas. parece tão frágil, mas ao mesmo tempo grande e resiliente."

Julie Masse:
"Eu cresci no Japão, por isso eu tinha minha visão especial sobre o perfume da flor. Quis transmitir a incrível sensação das pétalas na pele. A peónia é a flor do paradoxo: é incrivelmente delicada, mas ao mesmo tempo forte e sólida."

Cecile Matton:
"Depois jogámos com notas contrastantes para dar o estilo Armani à fragrância. Há um contraste entre as notas amadeiradas e florais, torna o perfume mais estruturado. Usámos Orcanox ™, que combina a força amadeirada e a suavidade almiscarada. O material tem um sensual caráter almiscarado e ajuda a conseguir o efeito de pétalas em camadas. Finalmente, adicionámos à composição uma nota de framboesa obtida usando a tecnologia Jungle Essence™—uma inovadora tecnologia da Mane para extrair aromas de frutas, bagas e todos os materiais. Permite conseguir um acorde de suco de fruta, um pouco atalcado, que recria perfeitamente as sutis notas frutais da peônia e a tornam moderna."

Um início fresco, transparente e ligeiramente ácido, com claras notas frutais doces de framboesa e bagas de pimenta rosa do Peru, cheira um pouco a prosecco e Sylvaner rosado. A doçura do vinho frizante e as notas de bagas é enriquecida com tangerina. Já agora a tangerina é a única nota fragrante responsável pela ligação Itália-China em Pivoine Suzhou Armani Prive: a tangerina vem do Sul da China, e os melhores óleos cítricos para a perfumaria moderna são produzidos nos Apennines.

Compreendo que a palavra “framboesa” possa ser a palavra de segurança para centenas de leitores. A nota de framboesa, tão popular em tempos recentes, parece demasiado segura e vulgar, infantil e não tão especial como antes, no tempo de L'Artisan Parfumeur Mure et Musc. Entretanto, o aroma o aroma das framboesas é ligeiramente inferior à complexidade do jasmim (230 contra 250 componentes) e uma variedade de materiais de perfume de framboesa tem sido usada para criar composições resistentes e atalcadas  de rosa doce e peônia, colônias masculinas e fruitchoulies femininos, acrescentando nuances em perfumes gourmand e de couro, e até complementando o oud e as notas de maçã. Pessoalmente, não acho que a framboesa seja terrível—em Pivoine Suzhou Armani Prive, cheira inocente, mas agradável e apropriada, fácil e rosada.

Pivoine Suzhou é decorado com uma linha de hieroglifos chineses na caixa. O poema de Liu Yuxi, “Admirando a peônia,” escrito no século XIX, foi escolhido para o perfume:

“A peônia herbácea em frente do átrio é encantadora mas não tem harmonia,
A flor de lótus no lago é imaculada mas não tem emoções,
Apenas a verdadeira peônia possui aquela infinita beleza
Quando floresce move toda a cidade.”

Pivoine Suzhou Armani Prive

by: Serguey Borisov

The Armani Prive collection, established as an exclusive line of fragrances (in contrast to the more popular Giorgio Armani and Emporio Armani fragrances), was replenished by a new fragrance. Pivoine Suzho Armani Prive is dedicated to Paeonia suffruticosa, and the Chinese city of Suzhou—the ancient capital of Chinese silk, “Eastern Venice,” famous for its ancient gardens.

Previously, fashion designers and trendsetters created perfumes to express the Haute Couture spirit: Chanel №5, Miss Dior, L'Interdit, Succes Fou, and Cabochard were created for that reason...

Today, the spirit of Haute Couture can be found only in exclusive fragrance collections such as Armani Prive. Each Armani Prive fragrance is like a perfectly tailored couture gown. Armani Prive is a line composed of four different collections, each with its own style and inspiration.

So, Les Editions Couture is produced in very limited editions. These fragrances are associated with annual Armani Pret-a-Porter Spring/Summer collections (Le Femme Bleue, Le Femme Nacre, Nuances, Ombre & Lumiere). La Collection features legendary perfume ingredients (for example, Cuir Amethyste or Encens Satin). Armani Prive was started with the line.

Les Mille et Une Nuits collection gives us the luxury and splendor of oriental flavors (eg, Oud Royal and Myrrhe Imperiale). Light and refreshing Les Eaux fragrances are hymns to Mother Nature, named after mythical gardens. New peony fragrance Pivoine Suzhou is just the latest in Les Eaux collection where Vetiver Babylone, Rose Alexandrie, Figuier Eden, Cedre Olympe and Orange Alhambra were released previously.

Gardens in the lower Yangtze River have existed for the last 26 centuries. The classical Suzhou gardens are ancient masterpieces of landscaping, such as “The Humble Administrator`s Garden,” “The Master of the Nets Garden,” “The Lion Grove Garden” and “The Lingering Garden,” which are World Heritage Sites under UNESCO protection since 2000.

The Humble Administrator's Garden

Lion Grove Garden

Lingering Garden

The historical connection between Italy and China provides Marco Polo, who called Zhouzhuang, a suburb of Suzhou, the Venice of the East—and Giorgio Armani himself, using Chinese silk embroidery and local masters in his Couture, providing a modern connection.

Peony flower (mudan) is one of the most popular symbols of China. Lotus, chrysanthemum, winter plum, osmanthus, azalea, tea or orchid could possibly argue with peony for a symbolic birthright, but from 1903, when the peony flower became a national symbol, and till now Chinese people recognize the primacy of the peony tree in many ways.

Peony tree, Paeonia suffruticosa, (unlike the narrow-leaved peony, peony and thirty other species) is considered in China to be “the most beautiful woman in the country with a heavenly aroma.” Peony flowers are associated with the name of one of the four Great Beauties of China, whose beauty made fish sink, entices birds to fall, eclipses the moon and shames flowers:

"According to legend, Yang Guifei was admiring the peony flowers and grieved about his fate in the garden. As soon as she touched the flowers, flowers rolled up, and their stems inclined downwards. One of the maids saw that and told to one of the emperor's wives that Yang Guifei is so beautiful that flowers decline in embarrassment."

Peony tree has been cultivated in China for two thousand years, and most of the peony tree varieties are from China. There are some peony trees, known for their blooms from the Ming Dynasty (14th-16th centuries) and Sun Dynasty (10th-13th centuries). As the Chinese people say, “Peony is a witness of happiness.” Peony flowers are the bridal gift for marriage proposal, and peony is a staple at weddings, for happiness, peace, prosperity and health. Peony is the most important flower in feng shui. It is believed that a blooming peony attracts wealth, so it is good to plant it next to the house. The greatest strength belongs to peonies with white flowers.

Peony, the emperor of flowers is a symbol of aristocracy and high position. In ancient times, officials and nobility wore ceremonial dress and went to the park to enjoy flowering peonies' beauty, with a special ceremony. Only a very handsome, slender monk with a pale face had the right to water peonies in the imperial gardens. A beautiful girl in special clothes looked after the flowers, washing their leaves. Today, you can find whole gardens planted with peonies alone, with a wide selection of species and varieties in China.

Pivoine Suzhou Armani Prive fragrance's creation was entrusted to Mane perfumers,Cecile Matton and Julie Masse:

"Our goal was to recreate the scent of peony, one of the most venerated flowers in Asia. The flower is a symbol of femininity and beauty. We wanted to create an Asian peony in Giorgio Armani style—austere laconic fragrance that reflects a magnificent tenderness of this multilayered flower.
 Peony has fresh green, slightly fruity aroma with rose notes. But the flower is so delicate that it can not give any essential oil or absolute for perfumers. So we have to recreate its aroma using chords of other flowers. As a result, we have decided to transfer the texture of the flower bud: the variety of the finest petals that form a dense, but weightless structure. Peony in this fragrance is similar to multi-layer chiffon: clear, radiant, sensual."

Cecile Matton:
"My mother has a small garden where she grows many different flowers, including peony. It’s such a luxury—to have their piece of nature near Paris. I do not know how she did it, but its peonies are incredibly large and have a fairly strong, but delicate aroma. This is one of my favorite garden flowers. It seems so fragile, but at the same time large and resilient."

Julie Masse:
"I grew up in Japan, so I had my special vision of the flower perfume. I wanted to convey the incredible feel of the petals to the skin. Peony is a flower of paradox: it is incredibly delicate, but at the same time strong and solid."

Cecile Matton:
"Then we played with contrasting notes to give the style of Armani to the fragrance. It has a contrast between the woody and floral notes, it makes the perfume more structured. We used Orcanox ™, which combines woody strength and musky tenderness. The material has a sensual musk character and helps achieve the effect of multi-layered petals. Finally, we added to the composition a raspberry note obtained by using Jungle Essence™ technology—an innovative Mane technology to extract flavors from fruits, berries and all raw materials. It allows you to get a juicy fruit chord, a little powdery, which is perfectly recreates the subtle fruity notes of peony and make it modern."

A fresh, transparent, and slightly tangy start, with clear fruity sweet notes of raspberry and Peruvian pink pepper berries, smells a little like prosecco and rose-smelling Sylvaner. The sweetness of sparkling wine and fruity berry notes is enriched by mandarin. By the way, mandarin is the only fragrant note, which is responsible inPivoine Suzhou Armani Prive for the Italy-China link: mandarin came from southern China, and the best citrus oils for modern perfumery are produced in the Apennines.

I understand that the word “raspberry” could be the “red” safeword for hundreds of readers. The raspberry note, so popular in recent times, seems too safe and ordinary, childish and not-so-special, as before, at the time the popularity of L'Artisan Parfumeur Mure et Musc. Meanwhile, the aroma of raspberries is only slightly inferior to the complexity of jasmine (230 against 250 components) and a variety of raspberry perfume materials are used to create resistant and powdery-sweet rose and peony compositions, masculine colognes and feminine fruitchoulies, adding nuances in leather and gourmand perfumes, and even complementing oud and apple notes. Personally, I do not think raspberry is terrible in any way—in Pivoine Suzhou Armani Prive, it smells naïve, but pleasant and appropriate. Nice, easy-going and pink.

Pivoine Suzhou is decorated by a line of Chinese hieroglyphs outside the box. Liu Yuxi's poem, “Admiring the peony,” written in the 9th century, was chosen for the perfume:

“The herbaceous peony in front of the courtyard is enchanting but lacks harmony,
The lotus flower in the pond is immaculate but lacks emotions,
Only the true peony possesses that infinite beauty
When it blooms it moves the entire city.”

Armani Prive Pivoine Suzhou

Head notes: Green tangerine, Pink pepper, Raspberry;
Heart notes: Peony, Rose oil and absolute;
Base notes: Orcanox, Musks, Patchouli.
