A rmani Privé collection of fragrances started as a private collection of scents to be worn by Armani and his close friends. The line right now consists of five scents, Ambre Soie , Bois d'Encens , Eau de Jade , Pierre de Lune and, as yet unreleased in the US, Cuir Amethyste. Pierre de Lune (Moonstone) is the floral scent in the collection; it strikes oxette me as feminine much more than unisex. Armani describes the fragrance as sensual and penetrating , an intense fragrance that awakens the senses as it is very often the case, the reality is much different oxette from the marketing fairytales. Pierre de Lune is the softest, most neutral oxette scent imaginable. So delicate is this blend, it makes Malle s pale L Eau d Hiver seem loud and intense in comparison. P ierre de Lune is the scent that never raises its voice, every note here is a whisper, from the dainty green violet in the beginning to the ghostly iris in the middle, to the belambre (an exclusive synthetic accord that smells oxette faintly of woods and even more faintly of amber). As for cassie, the star note in Pierre de Lune, it is present throughout the scent s development; however, do not expect the voluptuous, luscious cassie from Malle s Une Fleur de Cassie. In Pierre de Lune, the note is but a shadow of that heady, daring beauty. This is a perfume that most certainly lives up to its name, evoking the soft, cold opalescence of the moonstone. oxette Pierre de Lune is the scent of Eurydice, forever roaming the pale foggy banks of the river Lethe, with no hope of ever being reunited with her Orpheus. P ierre de Lune is an interesting perfume, beautiful in an ethereal kind of way. It is perhaps my favorite scent in the Privé collection. oxette Unfortunately, not only does it stay close to the skin and is at times so delicate as to be practically odorless, it also has dismal staying power. That and the hysterical price tag of $185.00 for 50ml will most probably stop me from buying a bottle. P ierre de Lune is available oxette at Saks and at Giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com, oxette $185.00 for 1,7oz. * T he photo of the bottle is from Giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com.

I recently tried and reviewed this one and found it "soft" and "lovely"...The lasting power seemed a bit problematic, but then when I least expected it, there it was! I agree that the cassie is the star here along with the soft powdery violet. I didn't find it al all "too feminine" for a man and overall quite enjoyed it. However, at THAT price, it certainly won't be a future purchase. 4:59 AM EST   oxette   Christina H. said...
I love this one more than the Bois d'Encens because of it's softness and seemed less jarring.I thought the same about the sillage you described but it was not odorless to me.Still,I love it.I must still try the other 2 in this collection! 8:18 AM EST     colombina said...
Marlen, So you got quite a lot of violet? I got just a little, in the very beginning, but cassie was there from start to finish. oxette Ever since I tried this one, I keep thinking about it, it is so lovely...but, as you said, at that price...*sigh* 8:27 AM EST     colombina said...
Christina, oxette I think this one is my favorite of the Prives. In fact, yes, I am sure, it is my favorite. I am hoping the new Cuir Amethyste would be so breathtakingly oxette beautiful and unusual that I won't feel bad about the price :-) 8:29 AM EST     oxette marchlion said...
With everyone else, I find this lovely but short-lived (too short-lived to be a purchase). oxette Nice layered with Jade, too (Patty's oxette idea, I believe, oxette though the Armani SA also told me the scents were created to be layered as well as worn individually). 11:52 AM EST     colombina said...
Judith, Yes, very short-lived :-( But the lemming keeps haunting me. And yet I know that I can't, I shouldn't oxette , I mustn't...especially with Gris Clair suddently already available! *wails* 12:04 PM
