Giorgio Armani

Designer History

One of the most recognizable and wealthiest fashion designers of our time, style icon Giorgio Armani was born just outside of Milan to humble beginnings in 1934. His artistic impulses developed early on attending public school, where he developed a passion for theater and cinema. He initially studied medicine, but gave it up to pursue photography. After completing his national service, he was employed as a window dresser in the historic department store, La Rinascente, Italy’s first ready-to-wear shop. From 1961 to 1970, Armani labored as a designer for legendary fashion house Nino Cerruti. He left to pursue freelance work and in 1974, coupled with Sergio Galeotti, founded Giorgio Armani S.p.A. An initial men’s line was followed by womens wear in 1975, at which time his sister, Rosanna Armani, rounded out the powerhouse design team. Known for crisp, modified lines, Armani’s big break came in 1980 when he costumed the now classic film, “American Gigolo,” and most notably, a dashing young Richard Gere. A designer with a mission and a renowned environmentalist, he was appointed Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2002. Classic in style but ever on the forefront, Armani was the first designer to broadcast a haute couture fashion show live on the internet in January 2007.

Perfume History

Over the duration of his illustrious career, he has created a veritable fleet of fragrances that stress the character of the individual and which have graced famous men and women alike. Men’s colognes include: Armani Code, Armani Mania, the omnipotent, Acqua Di Gio, Attitude, Armani Eau Pour Homme and the celebrated, Emporio Armani for Him. Perfumes for women include: Sensi, Acqua Di Gio, Armani Mania Women, Armani Code Women, Emporio Armani for Her, and Emporio Armani Diamonds, fronted by singer Beyonce Knowles. Privé is a fragrance for both him and her and comes in several different incarnations, including scented candles and amber spray. Armani’s retail presence can be felt throughout the world, most notably including 14 Emporio Armani stores and Armani Jeans cafes. Emporio’s flagship shop graces the streets of Milan. An avid investor in the fine dining industry, there is an Armani Bar in Hong Kong and his two celebrated ventures, NoBu & Prive, can be found globally. To further the breadth of his international star, Armani owns the bookshop, Armani Libri, and the florist, Armani Fiori, in addition to the confectionery company, Armani Dolci. The world’s first Armani Hotel will be housed within the lower 37 floors of the Burj Dubai skyscraper in Dubai. In early 2007, Armani announced that he was prepared to sell his legendary namesake trademarks.

Important Tips about Perfumes and Colognes:

Why do some fragrances seem to last much longer than others?
People with dry skin usually find their fragrance holding time shorter than those with oily skin because oily skin has more natural moisture to hold in the fragrance. PH levels (amount of acidity in our skin) also varies slightly from person to person. Our individual levels of PH will determine how each ingredient in a fragrance will react.

How can I make my scent last longer?
Fragrance lasts longer on some people than on others because of differences in our skin (oily or dry) and in our PH levels. To achieve a longer effect, try layering your fragrance. Using the fragrance bath gel, (if the company offers one), then the moisturizer or powder, and then the Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum or Eau de Cologne, will usually have a longer lasting effect. Also, apply your fragrance low on the body, as well as behind your ears and on your neck, so that the scent rises and you won't lose it as quickly. A light spray on the hair can last all day.

What is the difference between a splash and a spray?
There is absolutely no difference in the fragrance. The difference is in the application only. However, a spray bottle, being ostensibly sealed all the time, may actually have a longer shelf life. Making the decision between spray and splash is entirely a matter of personal preference.

Why does fragrance contain alcohol?
Alcohol makes the fragrance emanate from your skin. Without alcohol, you would be the only person who knew you were wearing any fragrance at all.

What do fragrance notes refer to?
Fragrances are comprised of many different scents, these scents are called "notes." Top notes are very light and last just a few minutes (5-10 minutes). Middle notes become apparent in about 15 minutes after application. These can last up to an hour or more. Bottom notes are the heavier ingredients. These last the longest, usually for several hours. How can I keep my fragrance from going bad? Keep all fragrance in a cool, dry area, and away from windows as sunlight can unbalance the various ingredients. An opened bottle should be kept in its box to insure a longer shelf life.

Why does a fragrance last longer on some people?
Blondes or people with light skin have a tendency towards dry skin, and fragrances are basically oils that will be absorbed by the skin like moisturizers. To help your fragrance last longer use a matching body lotion or unscented body lotion to apply to pulse points before applying your fragrance.

Why do fragrances smell differently on different people?
Body chemistry, diet and age affect fragrances on their skin. Also, fragrance consists of many essential oils. Certain essential oils have affinity to our skin, and they may be absorbed while other may not. This creates an imbalance on the skin and accounts for the difference.

How should I or where should I apply fragrance?
Fragrance should be applied to pulse points. This is where the blood vessels are closest to the skin giving off more heat and acting like mini fragrance pumps. Pulse points are the wrist, behind the ear, crook of the arm and knee, base of the throat. Also, for long lasting fragrance spray at the ankles, it allows the fragrance to blossom up.

Does perfume need special handling?
Fragrances should be kept away from excessive heat or cold, and to avoid evaporation, the cap must be tightly closed to maintain fragrance integrity. Also, do not expose the fragrance for any length of time to sun light.

How long will a fragrance last on me?
Fragrances are designed to last about 4 hours or so. Some people may notice that a particular fragrance lasts all day but by then it will not smell as it's supposed to. You must re-apply once or twice a day.

How long can I keep my fragrance stored?
Fragrances don't last forever. There are certain precautions though that will ensure the quality of the fragrance. Keep the bottle in a dry, dark place. Heat can also destroy a fragrance so keep it from extreme temperatures. Fragrances usually last 3 years from the date they were manufactured.
