The beguiling lament of the desert. Rose D’arabie showcases the Damask Rose. An ingredient that, for Giorgio Armani, perfectly embodies confident sensuality: it echoes crimson and gold silk, radiant and iridescent, and its melody undulates with sensual curves. Damascena Rose is a cross between Rosa gallica and Rosa phoenicia, both native to the ancient Near East. Extremely fragrant, the white or pink flowers grow in small clusters on dense shrubs. For Giorgio Armani, Damascena Rose is the very incarnation of sensuality. “Rose d’Arabie captures the voluptuous hedonism of the Orient”, points out Mr. Armani. “I wanted a fragrance that resonated like a desert melody. I imagined an intoxicating rose, which could take you directly to its unabashed sensuality.”
