My Way
A luminous modern white floral built on orange blossom and Indian tuberose over a creamy vanilla and white musk base. Bright, clean, and travel-inspired.
My Way opens on Orange Blossom and Bergamot, moves through Tuberose and Indian Jasmine, and dries down to Vanilla and White Musk. At $90 - $145 it is which sits at fair mid-range value, with moderate to long lasting (6h - 8h) on skin. A relatively safe blind buy for most wardrobes.

EXPERT ANALYSIS — COMPOSITION & PERFORMANCE
Composed by Carlos Benaim & Bruno Jovanovic for Giorgio Armani in 2020, My Way sits in the bright citrus space of modern perfumery. Below, our research team breaks down its olfactory structure, measured performance, and ideal wearer.
The Opening
The opening leads with bright citrus and floral facets — Orange Blossom, Bergamot set the first impression in the initial fifteen to thirty minutes.
The Heart
Beneath the opening, a floral heart of Tuberose, Indian Jasmine forms the signature most people will recognise.
The Dry-Down
Hours later it resolves into a dry woods and sweet gourmand foundation — Vanilla, White Musk, Cedar — that determines the lasting memory of the scent.
Who Should Buy My Way
My Way leans feminine but is wearable by anyone who enjoys the style. Its season vector points strongest to spring, and its day/night balance makes it best suited to versatile day-to-night wear. If you gravitate toward bright citrus and floral compositions and want a more moderate, easy-going wear, it belongs on your shortlist.
Performance and quality are not in question here. The honest caveat is ubiquity: My Way is widely worn, so if smelling distinctive matters more to you than smelling excellent, factor that in.
