About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Launched in 1999 and composed by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Mania opens with a warm, resinous blend of labdanum and vanilla. This unconventional top sets the stage for a spicy heart where saffron, nutmeg, cloves, and amber intertwine, creating a rich, oriental character. The base of white musk, guaiac wood, vanilla, and iris adds depth and a soft, powdery finish. The fragrance is dominated by warm spicy and amber accords, with notable powdery, fresh spicy, woody, and musky facets.

Mania is a sophisticated scent for those who appreciate bold, spicy orientals. It suits evening wear and cooler months, enveloping the wearer in a cozy yet elegant aura. Collectors of 90s niche and designer fragrances will find this a distinctive addition, especially given its discontinued status and the renowned perfumer behind it. Ideal for someone who enjoys a strong, memorable signature that balances sweetness with spice and wood.

中文簡介

Giorgio Armani Mania 女士香水於1999年推出,由調香師Jacques Cavallier Belletrud創作。前調以勞丹脂與香草展開,帶出溫暖樹脂感;中調融合藏紅花、肉荳蔻、丁香與琥珀,散發辛香東方氣息;基調則以白麝香、癒創木、香草與鳶尾根收尾,呈現粉質木質餘韻。整體以暖辛香與琥珀為主,兼具粉感、清新辛香、木質與麝香層次。

此香氣適合喜愛濃郁東方調的用家,尤其適合晚間或秋冬季節使用,展現優雅而溫暖的氣質。對於收藏90年代設計師香水的愛好者而言,Mania 因其停產身份與名師手筆,更具獨特價值,是追求難忘簽名香的不二之選。
