Giorgio Armani Beauty has launched the I Will eau de parfum for men, a woody vanilla fragrance featuring actor Jonathan Bailey as the face of the campaign and the brand's new Global Fragrance Ambassador.
The I Will eau de parfum for men opens with sparkling Calabrian bergamot and fresh lavender, before transitioning to a heart of warm, sensual Madagascar vanilla absolute that subtly contrasts with woody leather notes. The fragrance is housed in a bottle with matte-frosted black shoulders and a transparent base revealing golden amber juice.
At its core, the Giorgio Armani Beauty I Will perfume balances contrasting elements — fresh and warm, raw and refined, confidence and sensuality — to create a complex, long-lasting scent that evolves over time.
