Armani Privé - Bleu Turquoise Giorgio Armani 2018

Opening with a nice mélange of spices that are not listed, Bleu Turquoise settles into a very unique sweet-fresh white floral. The first half hour of this fragrances is phenomenal, and that's what made me want to get a decant when I sprayed it on a test strip. But something happens in the drydown that makes it headache inducing, maybe it is an aromachemical or just the specific combination of the white florals interacting with the woods in the base, but it just becomes a bit suffocating after a while.

Though I'm not a fan of the drydown, I'd still recommend folks try this one. It is extremely unique and a very interesting combination, just not working on my skin I think.

I loooooove this.

Basically you get a loooootta salt, spices, and vanilla. A very very slight tough of incense in the background, but wow this is gorgeous and very very strong :-)

What i notice is the big difference when you smell it up close to your nose, and the trail it leaves. When closer, it smells very aromatic and peppery... but the trail is just insane, very salty vanilla.

Parfumo needs to add a creativity/originality rating. This would be 10/10 no question
One of the best and most original perfumes

It smells like drinking from a coconut, while sitting next to a bonfire on a tropical island beach. Incredible vibes
The scent is so strange, but is close to as good as it gets - I consider Forever Love (Pana Dora) the best summer scent in the universe, and this isn’t far behind.

I find most aquatic perfumes boring, and salty notes typically feel synthetic and cheap
Idk if anyone else gets this but must aquatic/salty perfumes leave a weird taste in my mouth and are irritating to my nose
But not here - this is my favourite aquatic perfume and my most interesting summer scent.
(It also feels nice and tingly on my nose and tongue)

This perfume smashes every threshold I have when considering buying a full bottle;
Incredibly pleasant scent
Very long lasting (easily 10 hours - S tier for a summer scent)
Unique and complex scent; you will stand out a LOT wearing this
Strong sillage without being a burden. My bottle arrived today and even with no maceration this stuff is pretty damn strong.
The bottle design is top tier
Perfume gives off excellent vibes
Unisex perfume, great for masc/fem.
Performs really well in all seasons and situations
The value for 100ml is decent, but definitely not good.
The atomiser is really tiny, so 2 sprays will probably last you forever unless you wear it daily.

I need more people to discover this beautiful stuff
(and Armani Prive in general)
The more I think about it the better it gets, I promise you’ll love it
Unless you have shit taste :)

9.5/10 I will buy another bottle if I ever run out
100% signature scent worthy

I was (I think possibly somewhat genuinely) priviledged to get hold of it before the _official_ release-date, and I loved it instantly, with its excruciating musk (I see it's not listed; but, if this is not a _seriously_ musky fragrance, Trondheim is south of Melbourne!), funky-indolic jasmine, and then - to crown it all - that salt note! Stroke of genius! This perfume is a jewel, a resonance maximum! In the store I was shown maybe another eight or so before I could snap myself out of my rapture & say "it's alright - stop! stop for now! - I've already decided!".

I got a sample of this in an exchange of perfumes; it blew my mind.
It is fresh yet so comfortable for every season, like a drop of incense in a cold rainy beach, very twilight.
For me is unisex, but i'm very used to slightly masculine scents for me. Such a banger, so sad it's getting discontinued and it's so ridiculously expensive. I will enjoy the 2ml that are left and go on with my life somehow.
