This is such a great bergamot scent. Everyone on YT that has reviewed it got it pretty spot on, great bergamot + crisp Neroli/ light crisp pepper, eventually becomes creamy bergamot from the tiny bit of vanilla which isn’t really detectable as a note itself, just adding texture in the dry down. It’s simple but great. A bit like bvlgari Pour Homme soir, which is another favorite of mine. Only this one doesn’t have the tea or the papyrus, and this lasts a little longer but who cares about that I always just take them w me

Eau de Jade by Giorgio Armani is a nicely done citrus scent which features a dominant blend of bergamot and bitter neroli.
You probably wouldn’t reach for this fragrance all too often, but on a sweltering Summer’s day it would seem incredibly appealing due to its freshness. It was YouTube reviewer Beauty Meow that brought this fragrance to my attention, and admittedly I was hoping that it would share a similar vibe to Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino.
Unfortunately Eau de Jade doesn’t have the same floral sweetness that I find present in Neroli Portofino, but what it does have is a clean and crisp blend of green citrus on a base of zesty pepper and white musk. Eau de Jade is a unisex fragrance, and although plain and somewhat linear, there’s something quite magical about it.
The Armani Prive sales representative was a huge fan of Eau de Jade and recommended that it be used for layering as it contains very few notes. I would love to try layering Eau de Jade with a vetiver rich fragrance as I feel it would add a crisp and energizing aroma to any fragrance it’s paired with.
I unfortunately don’t live in a climate that gets super warm during Summer, so I probably won’t buy a bottle of this in my lifetime. I do however enjoy wearing Eau de Jade and consider it one of the nicest citrus aromatics on the market today. It’s a shame that it only comes in an Eau de Cologne, as I would love for it to last just that little bit longer on the skin.

After trying on all of the scents in the Prive collection, Eau de Jade is my absolute favorite. I guess as a citrus lover I am biased! I love how simple this is. The lime is a crisp and zesty “ting” mellowed out sophisticately by the peppery musk. Perfectly clean, refined, and unisex. The lovely salesperson at the counter says it reminds her of the lime balm her Puerto Rican mother used to give her when she was a child; an anecdote I found delightful. Eau de Jade is a great perfume.
Too bad its excellent qualities still does not merit the outrageous pricetag 🙁

Powerhouse citrus out of the gate then softens to the orange blossom/neroli with some musk to give it depth. Nice but nothing so special I would want a FB. Nice summer scent to try out.

The sun illuminates your soft, pale skin and shimmers in the spirals of your dark curls. You blink as to block the light from your delicate features…your jade dress fails to conceal the golden stars that hide within its fabric as you dazzle in the sunlight. You sparkle like the most vibrant citrus caught in the brilliant embrace of a fiery sun – your unstated elegance quietly supersedes you. Behind your emerald eyes lingers the passion of a dozen burning flames – all to which you pay no heed. Your smile remains a prize that many fruitlessly seek…all wish to be close enough to catch a breath of the angelic musk that you effortlessly exude. You simply are not of this earth yet you remain here to remind countless lost souls of which they can never attain, even for a moment. But in this moment, I caught your eye as the sun danced between us – a smile united our worlds in a flash, and then the moment was gone.

Notes: I have only sampled a few decants of the Prive line and I must say they are exquisitely beautiful yet succinct creations. There are a lot of fumes that smell similar to this citrus and musk masterpiece, but I would say few do it as gracefully as this. As a whole, this scent is basically neroli and bergamot meets fiery pepper and an enveloping creamy white musk…that’s it! So simple yet so enchanting – I don’t if it’s the actual mix or if all of these notes play magically on my skin. It feels as if it was made for me as I rarely fall in love with summer scents, but I have fallen for this. It lasts a subtle 8 to 10 hours on me and I always want more! Suitable for any gender as these notes lie somewhere between comfortable and sensual….maybe you will find the magic as well.

Speaking as a gal, for me this is an instant scrubber. The harsh, persistent generic citrus is pure loo cleaner, and by wearing it I am thus transformed by the scrubber into the scrubber! geddit?!
Seriously though, this is linear and synthetic and the price tag is absurd. I cannot distinguish notes, accords or phases due to the overwhelming sense of LOO CLEANER.
Encens Satin, Cuir Amethyste, Rosed’Arabie, all lovely. This, not.

I don’t understand what is going on with these PRIVE lines. The make a cologne and charge their asses for them. Neroli Portofino, Eau de Jade and so on. All of them smell like colognes are safe and pretty but don’t offer something new in the genre. I mean with vetivers happened the same but at least some expensive offerings have something new to say. In the colognes I don’t get that. I feel there should be some law in this like “every cologne, no matter the house making it, should be sold for the amount of 100 Euros or less”. Otherwise we are in danger of having to spend a months payroll to just refresh ourselves.

“Eau de Jade” as well as “Vetiver Babylone” were my first introduction to the collection of Armani/Prive fragrances. As hesperidic fragrances go, “Eau de Jade” unfortunately did not impress me much. It opens with a rather bland Calabrian bergamot note, which seems watered down somehow. It’s missing brightness and juiciness. I do like the reflection of the Madagascar peppercorn against the citrus, as it does create a pleasing albeit short lived accord. After this, it dries down to a barely perceptible synthetic amber. Very disappointing as I had high hopes for this one. Much prefer “Neroli Sauvage” from Creed and “Aqua Universalis” from Maison Francis Kurkdjian over this. (150)

a very light crisp citrus fragrance, doesn’t last long however and smells like the taste of corona and lime.

Fragrantica lists bergamot, but I smell buckets of lemon in this fragrance. Very zesty, the pepper adds a dryness that makes me think of a bowl of lemon rind, warming in the sun.

This may seem like an overreaction to some but I think Eau de Jade is a masterpiece!
It’s citrus but it’s a very, very rare thing to truly capture the pungent and waxy nature of the zest. This is like a concentration of that juicy sharpness, Pure lime zest!!!Many citrus juices neglect this crucial element, Armani and whoever the nose was on this seem to have nailed it.
I made Coconut and Lime Ice cream recently and had to use alot of lime zest, infact a much of the cooking I do whether Chinese or Indian or even for putting in a corona or whatever… I use a hell of a lot of limes. This represents the true smell of zest and juice left on my hands afterwards but to just say it’s that wouldn’t be fair to the complexity of this composition.
Eau de Jade is built to last it really did well on my skin and then the white floral element and pepper comes though more into the dry down without ever defining the nature of this scent. Again the musk base is in perfect harmony with the other elements in here…I love it!
Top marks and fairly reasonably priced, I already held Armani’s prive range in high regard now I’ve finally tried them all I’m absolutely in awe of them.

Immediately drew me to memories of the giant lemon tree in the backyard of my childhood home. Has the same exact fragrance and almost bitter tang of lemon blossoms freshly picked, their scent lingering on your fingertips. Refreshing!

What’s not to like? It’s a refreshing citrus scent that lasts for more than an hour. Very nice – especially on hot days.
Weird bottle and ad campaign, however. C’mon, Armani, what’s so dramatic about a citrus scent?
(What’s not to like? I just answered my own question when I saw what they’re asking for it. Overpriced!)

A bright, crisp, clean green citrus opening, immediately warmed by the base note; while it says bourbon vanilla, on my skin I got a much more sandalwood=cedar note. A classic cologne scent, which is a bit too masculine for my tastes, but could easily be worn by either sex. Unlike most colognes, it has excellent longevity (6 hrs) with very limited sillage. Nice, clean, classic scent, but don’t look for anything more with this one.

Crisp light citrus fresh scent encountered by a blast of neroli.
I enjoyed it but for a niche price ?!!..i dont know !
Reminded me of original vetiver by creed , same type of citrus note there.
Good for warm weather , very much unisex.

Lovely, absolutely lovely. The mingling of the floral notes with the pepper is attractive and enchanting all the way down to the very light and boozy base. Outstanding longevity and wonderful diffusion.
Highly recommended.
