Our take
What does Giorgio smell like?
Launched in 1981 by the Giorgio boutique on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Giorgio embodies the unapologetic opulence of the 1980s, recognisable by its yellow and white striped packaging. Its style knows no half measures. The opening is dazzling, with orange blossom, peach, apricot and bergamot suggesting ripe, sunny fruit. The heart unleashes white flowers at full power: tuberose, gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang and rose in a heady, almost dizzying density. The base of sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, amber, cedar and musk carries that abundance on with a woody, ambered warmth of formidable longevity. It is a spectacular floral, emblematic of an era when perfume wanted to be noticed from afar.
When to wear it
Evenings and special occasions, with a very light hand; it suits lovers of powerful white flowers and the retro charm of the 1980s.
It belongs to the Floral family. Giorgio is one of 1 creations by Giorgio Beverly Hills in our encyclopedia.
