A class scent

Armani Code by the house of Giorgio Armani is great masculine scent. It has a really bright and fresh opening with some sweetness provided by the tonka bean note. I get a hint of mint also possibly provided by the star anise. While i dont have a a good nose for individual notes I dont get the tobacco as listed but I do get some woodiness after the dry-down, I find that this does leave a good scent trail after applying. Longevity for me is average around 5 - 6 hours. It will project depending on skin type for the first 2 - 3 hours. Armani Code is a versatile scent and could work as a good day or night scent. My only negative is the price seems a bit over inflated.

The bottle design is slender and modern and it is easy to use when applying. Although the dark glass seems opaque there is some transparency and you can see remaining juice in certain light,

Overall score 8/10

very good fragrance but expensive!

i Think this is a pretty Amazing fragrance!
i Think its pretty expensive, you can get better fragrances for the same Money, so thats the reason why a gave it 90 instead of 100%, this fragrance just get better if you wear a leatherjacket, so the smell of the leatherjacket and the fragrance go together.. really nice smell!

Wonderful smell, but...

Code smells absolutely delicious! There isnt much left to say about it.

Warm and comforting, this scent just could project more and last more to be higher in the rank.

I smell lots of tonka bean with a light leather note in the base.

Despite the lack of projection, i do like this and it's worth it in my opinion - a great and romantic skin scent.

There's a cheaper alternative to Code, which is Salvador Dali Black Sun. Both are a must try at least. Thumbs up!

Very helpful Review 2

The perfect scent for your black tuxedo

The thing about Armani Code is that it's extremely sexy but rather difficult to describe. It's not spicy like most masculine scents, for example, YSL's Opium for Men or CK's Obsession for Men.

In some ways it's a clean and soapy interpretation of a spicy scent with a touch of citrus and leather. There is such an aura of confidence and elegance surrounding this fragrance, making it rather formal in a way, like something you'd perhaps wear with a traditional tux.

The olive blossom is a wonderfully unique additive to the composition, bringing with it an interesting saltiness which is quite alluring on the skin.

There is a powdery like aspect to this fragrance that tends to develop more towards the drydown. Do not fear, it's a masculine powderiness, nothing like sweet, flowery baby powder or anything like that.

Refined and somewhat formal, yet easily transferred into day-wear, Armani Code is probably one of the nicest Giorgio Armani scents I've tried. It's successful in being simplistic and not too over-the-top or too edgy. The longevity and the projection is good which is an added bonus of course. I recommend this fragrance for formal wear, cold weather and those fashion-conscious men.
