He amply delivered with a composition that sprinkles one pinch of hot black pepper over cool vetiver grass essence, thus creating tension, and folding the whole into tangy notes of French citron for much needed freshness.

A resolutely modern men’s cologne, a cool ocean breeze blowing over warm sand; emerging from the waves, the sun and the earth of the volcanic Mediterranean island of Pantelleria, where Giorgio Armani has his summer villa.
