Armani Prive Musc Shamal ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 7 January 2019 5 Comments

Giorgio Armani has launched Musc Shamal, a new fragrance in the Armani Privé fragrance range.

Inspired by the intense and enveloping oriental wind it was named after, MUSC SHAMAL is the true olfactory embodiment of this radiant breeze. Giorgio Armani creates here a bewitching union of the sun’s vibrant heat and the wind’s alluring breath; an oriental ballad of contrasts. The iconic and mesmerizing musk theme is modernized with rose, offering a delightful contrast of elegant breeze and intense heat, creating a vivid and stimulating scent.

Amber and cedar woods combine to create a powdery sensuality and passion, intensified by the subtle notes of vanilla. This combination is lightened by floral Rose and Jasmine, as the association of Noreenal, a modern aldehyde with a fresh, fruit and citrusy breeze, adds volume to the Musks cloud. An enveloping and captivating fragrance.

Musc Shamal was developed by perfumer Julie Massé.

Armani Privé Musc Shamal is available at Sephora in the United Arab Emirates, in 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

      Sounds like a Middle East version of California’s Santa Anas.

    The description sounds really nice to me. And I have always like those bottles. However, I doubt it’s in the budget.

    Oh, dear…a musk. I’m a total musk fiend and will definitely sample this, even thought it’s way beyond my budget.

    And I should do some research about all these oriental winds perfume profucers seem so fond of: Shamal, Sirocco, Chergui…
