Giorgio Armani Prive Cypres Pantelleria Eau De Toilette

Giorgio Armani Privé Cyprès Pantelleria Eau De Toilette was launched in 2021 and crafted by master perfumer Alberto Morillas. This fragrance belongs to the chypre aromatic family and draws inspiration from the Italian island of Pantelleria, known for its volcanic beauty and coastal serenity. It is a tribute to contrasts — the crispness of citrus, the breeze of ocean air, and the grounding strength of Mediterranean woods. The result is an elegant, mineral-fresh composition with naturalistic depth and clarity.

The fragrance opens with a vibrant, sparkling blend of citron, Calabrian bergamot, neroli, and green mandarin. These top notes immediately conjure the sensation of standing on a sun-drenched cliffside, where sharp citrus zest cuts through the air. The citron is juicy and sour-sweet, while the bergamot adds a refined, bitter-green sophistication. Neroli gives the composition a light floral sparkle, while green mandarin rounds out the opening with a succulent, slightly herbaceous quality.

At the heart, the composition reveals aromatic cypress, aquatic notes, and clary sage. The cypress is crisp and coniferous, evoking wind-brushed trees growing near the Mediterranean coast. Aquatic notes introduce a breezy, saline quality that mirrors the sea’s calming presence, and clary sage adds a soft, aromatic lift — slightly musky, herbal, and quietly assertive. This heart is airy and meditative, capturing the stillness of Pantelleria’s natural landscape.

The base features earthy oakmoss, Haitian vetiver, patchouli, and amberwood, offering a mineral-rich, mossy drydown that lingers with natural elegance. Oakmoss delivers a cool, forest-floor greenness that connects the scent to its chypre roots. Vetiver adds a dry, grassy smokiness, while patchouli grounds the fragrance with a woody earthiness. Amberwood contributes a modern, clean warmth, enhancing the wearability and extending the longevity on skin.
