What do reviewers say about Idole d'Armani and Arethusa?
The opening is divisive, ginger and saffron together either hook you in 30 seconds or make you wait. Once it settles, though, there's genuine elegance here. Not the syrupy stuff. Real warmth.Idole d'Armani
Arethusa earns its marine classification with a salt-and-sand base that stays put for hours. The fragrance opens with fruit brightness before settling into its true character.Arethusa
