Inspired by the Giorgio Armani Privé Spring Summer 2020 collection featuring ikat, an ancestral dyeing technique from Indonesia, the new Ikat Rouge fragrance joins the Armani / Privé Haute Couture fragrance collection.
Created by Annick Menardo, Symrise's master perfumer, Ikat Rouge is an amber oriental fragrance marked by a balance of spicy top notes of frankincense and bergamot that melt into the soft warmth of cistus labdanum. Layers of iris and patchouli are meticulously woven throughout the composition with a modern amber woody trail, and enhanced with intense notes of guaiac wood.
Annick Menardo is one of the great personalities of contemporary perfumery and the source of international success.
"Described as "dark" because of her taste for burnt scents (Lolita Lempicka's licorice and Bulgari Black's tarry tea), she could just as easily be seen in green or mauve - aniseed and heliotrope are her favorite notes - or dressed in red like her diabolic Hypnotic Poison. Gifted with a musical sense of chords, she composes her perfumes for those who can hear... "says Symrise.
