By the editors · 2 min readCity Glam opens with a plush, wine-dark fruit accord—plum and blackcurrant mingling in a way that feels ripe but not sugary, more velvet than juice. The effect is immediate and unapologetically feminine, a bold purple statement that softens quickly as it settles into the skin.
Within minutes, Bulgarian rose emerges alongside heliotrope's powdery almond warmth and the green transparency of freesia. This floral heart has weight without density, a kind of cushioned elegance that recalls the polished, cosmopolitan sensibility Armani favored in the mid-2000s. The fruited opening never entirely disappears; it lingers as a sweet undertone.
The drydown brings white musk and a mossy, patchouli-laced base that grounds the composition without turning austere. It's a fragrance built for evenings and first impressions, distinctly of its era—when gourmand florals ruled department store counters and femininity meant something plush, accessible, and just a little indulgent.
