Giorgio Armani will launch Nuances, the third fragrance in the limited edition Armani Privé Les Éditions Couture series that includes 2011's La Femme Bleue and 2012's Nacre.
Nuances was inspired by an Armani fabric design, which has been used to create an organza pouch for the packaging. The notes feature orris, bergamot, cinnamon, heliotrope, vetiver and sandalwood.
Armani Privé Nuances will launch in May, in 100 ml Eau de Parfum; 1000 bottles were made.

Like the name and the notes sound like something I would want to sniff.
Admit I am not so interested in Armani Prive as I once was. Don’t think they’ve bested the original set, which as it was, was not worth the price to me. But they have admittedly done some really nice scents that would be more tempting if they were more reasonably priced.
I’ve never tried any of the Armani Prives..but I think heard that some were disappointed with some of the line but heard good things about one or two. But ya, the cost, it better be good if it’s going to cost a lot!
I got an eensy-weensy sample of La Femme Bleue and was really disappointed. LFB’s performance was like blowing up a balloon and then letting it fly around the room. Lasted about that long on me, too.
Ouch — good to know, I didn’t smell either of the “couture” scents.
Isn’t heliotrope sort of verboten, and if so then won’t this smell sort of chemical?
Why? There’s heliotrope in lots of fragrances, I don’t think of it as having a chemical smell.
I dunno, I can’t think of a fragrance released after 2010 that has heliotrope as a main note that doesn’t smell weirdly off, but I’m probably forgetting the good ones. I know the heliotropin only has to be under a certain limit but sometimes I think perfumers try to amp up the note with some really weird-smelling stuff. To me, heliotrope reconstruct without all the good heliotropin smells … odd.
Interesting — don’t think I’ve even noticed. It’s not my favorite note when it’s in heavy concentration.
