Giorgio Armani Armani Prive Crystal Edition for women - Opinios Reviews

I remember seeing this on display at the airport and was fascinated with the beautiful bottle and the clear view of the prized juice inside. Armani Prive Crystal Edition is surely a luxury edition and is only for the ones who can afford this.. I need a rich husband!!! :)

I adore to original Armani fragrance launched in 1982 which sadly is no longer available. When I heard that the limited edition Crystal would be a reinterpretation of this I was really looking forward to trying it and being transported back to earlier days. This precious liquid is not sampled in the usual way by a spritz on the wrist oh no. The price tag is hefty over £2000 for a small bottle. A ribbon is removed from a black box, sprayed with the fragrance and momentarily draped around the wrist, then removed, leaving a very faint waft of stale perfume. Oh the disappointment. Yes I did get a brief olfactory glimpse of the original but I assume the ribbon had been used again and again hence the stale smell. My skin had such a brief contact with said ribbon that after 10 minutes there was no smell at all, probably just as well.......
