The Eau pour Homme fragrance by Giorgio Armani. What better way to describe a perfume than by listening carefully to the words that came from the mouth of its own creator? As Giorgio Armani said, Eau pour Homme, to which I gave my name, resembles my fashion, because both are intended for a type of man I consider current, real, of his time.
The 1980s were prosperous years for Giorgio Armani. Between his chic haute couture collections, with their unprecedented fluidity, and his first two fragrances, the Italian designer entered history, never to leave it again! In 1984, the very first fragrance, Eau pour Homme, was a resounding success among men, who particularly appreciated the contrasted and timeless composition by Roger Pellegrino. Such was its acclaim that in 2013 the designer chose to modernize its formula and offer it once again!
When Armani's style asserts itself in his first men's fragrance, Eau pour Homme
The Armani style, particularly in the men's haute couture collections, is made of elegance and sophistication blended with a fluid, relaxed allure. In the 1980s, particularly thanks to the stars who wore Armani clothing to great heights, the designer was at the peak of his fame. Like many of his competitors, he chose to enter perfumery with Armani Femme in 1982, which met with mixed success.
It would take until 1984 and the beautiful Eau pour Homme for the house of Armani to make its breakthrough in perfumery, with a composition that so perfectly represents the distinctive style of Giorgio Armani and of the men who take pleasure in wearing his creations.
Composed by Roger Pellegrino, already the author of numerous bestsellers such as Anais Anais and Eau de Courrèges, Eau pour Homme by Armani is an ode to the designer's Italian origins, and also a vibrant tribute to the relaxed-chic style of Armani suits.

Eau pour Homme by Armani, timeless Italy in a fragrance
Beyond the fragrance drawing on the Italy that saw Giorgio Armani born, Eau pour Homme also embodies a timeless Italian elegance, a charm that never fades. Moreover, Eau pour Homme even allowed itself the boldness of being released again with an almost identical composition in 2013. And despite the years and changing trends, Eau pour Homme achieved, even in this new century, a very fine success, the magic of an eternal composition!
Indeed, the beautiful Eau pour Homme has everything going for it. It is reassuring from the start with its fresh, classic accords of bitter orange, mandarin, bergamot, petitgrain and lime of very fine quality. Then these Mediterranean breezes bring the warmth of spicy notes, contrasting delightfully with the icy opening. Eau pour Homme even allows itself a touch of sophistication with jasmine! But these luminous beauties are swept away by the sensual, deep shadows of sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli and cedar, giving Eau pour Homme a sillage as charming as it is spirited.
Skillfully blending shadow and light, the brilliance of the sun and the mystery of the undergrowth, Eau pour Homme perfectly embodies the style of Giorgio Armani, attributed to Armani about Eau pour Homme.
