Armani ARMANI CODE PROFUMO EDP 110ml

Product Information

Deeper, richer and warmer than the original, this aftershave for him combines notes of amber, mandarin, orange blossom and benzoin.

The iris that is in here is not the main note of this fragrance, it is simply rounding / smoothing this fragrance out to ensure that the tonka and bergamot in the opening do not come off as too strong or pungent I believe. If you remove your cap and the Atomizer head (the part you push down to spray) is black or chrome instead of the same bronzish color as the cap it's a fake. It is smoother than Y, whereas the ginger and other notes in Y flankers tend to give it a gritty, spicy accord that others may prefer.

I feel it's just average, the kind of longevity/sillage you maybe want for a date, not too cloying, noticeable up close, but I think it has to do with my skin.

Differs just slightly from the eau de parfum and reminds me of a more refined Prada Luna Rossa the original in silver. And why brand it ”Parfum” when it’s not a particularly strong fragrance, nor the epitome of the line? Has a powdery vanilla that comes through more as it dries and is very smooth around the edges and is very pleasant but still potent. I tried it today, in the opening it was like the Armani code absolu ( I got the warm vanilla vibe ) after a while, the aroma has changed to spicy aquatic/ fresh scent until the dry down.Whoever is on here saying”it doesn’t smell like the original” or “it’s weak” needs to either stop leaving fake reviews, or, give their head a wobble. The Parfum is very iris forward with a shower gel Bleu freshness but oddly seems more of a night time, date night scent to me. I didn’t look at the notes and picked up the iris, tonka and slight woodiness stood out the most with a subtle aromatic undertone. In terms of longevity it’s more than great, i get 10+ hours on my skin and when i spray it on clothes it remains there for days.

Despite the notes listed, it smells really similar to the original Code flanker from 2004 but it's more mature. Maybe it's the fact that Armani has listed Iris as one of the notes and people just assume that is what they are smelling?

Initially when I first got this fragrance in 2016, I didn't like it as around that time the One Million and other sweet fragrances were worn by a lot of teenagers, but it grew on me over time. This is a much fresher and brighter scent and feels more like Code EDP and Prada L’Homme mixed together. Way better than the original Armani Code 2004, makes the smell stand out a lot more with how deep and rich the smell is. The performance isn't beastly (that's not what it's intended to be) but it is very good, lasting a full work day with moderate sillage.

I have it sittting on my skin and it’s been sitting there on my wrist for 20 mins now and I find that the apple is giving bubblegum sweetness now with coke and some spices. This woody ambery fragrance built around Tonka Bean Absolute and intensified by Styrax Essence, runs hot on the skin.
