Armani Privé Magenta Tanzanite by Giorgio Armani
Amber Spicy
Violaine Collas
The sweet spicy gourmand scent of Magenta Tanzanite evokes mornings in the African savanna filled with a tropical grassland, roasted coffee, warm tobacco, spices of cardamom and ginger. It is a melting pot, you smell pieces of an exotic food market, nature in the dead heat of summer, and a lush cafe full of hipsters.
It has the wow effect. The smell is intoxicating, attacks your nostrils and does not let go. Even if you do not like the fragrance, you keep coming back, revisiting the aroma. It is reminiscent of Chinatown by Bond No 9. While Chinatown is perhaps friendlier, more straightforward thus easier to wear, we have to appreciate Magenta Tanzanite for its courage. Although it should evoke a morning in Africa, I suppose it is a perfume more suitable for colder climates. The longevity is not eternal as is the case with Bleu Turquoise but you get solid hours.
The burning question is “Can the price be justified”? For me, not at the moment. I already have my Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford, which falls into the same group. Plus is not that sweet, and that makes it even sexier. But if you are looking for a womanly perfume with sweet coffee and tobacco, go for it. You are going to cherish it and get tons of compliments.
