Giorgio Armani
Acqua di Gioia
“Lemon, mint, and water jasmine — a poolside cocktail in 100ml.”
Amalfi lemon and water jasmine over a sugared cedar base — Anne Flipo's 2010 launch for Armani, the women's entry in the wider Acqua di Gioia line. A clean citrus-green-aromatic. Summer daytime wear. Spawned multiple flankers (Satinée, Essenza, EDT, Fraîche, Intense).
