Armani Code Giorgio Armani for men

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

THE OPENING 15 MINUTES R AWESOME BUT AFTER ONE HOUR THE FRAGRANCE LOSSES ITS STRENGTH AND FALLS FLAT ON THE GROUND, NOT AT ALL WORTH THE HUGE PRICE U HAV TO PAY FOR TIS, OK NOW PARALLELY TRY THE JOOP JUMP AND U WILL BE SURPRISED TAT ITS QUIET SIMILAR WITH GREAT LONGEVITY. I CANT UNDERSTAND THE HYPE BEHIND CODE.

Very sharp and nose burning at first sniff...but after a while it develops into a nice scent...but not unique enough for the price. I agree with the others that a woman can wear this as well. I had a sample and wore it (I'm a woman). I don't think I'd ever pay full price for this...but I liked the scent....eventually.

Agree with Dellinger that women can pull this off well. Armani Code starts off quite masculine and this is probably due to citrus in the opening. As it starts to settle, the citrus note gets sweet and light and mixes well with woody aromatic accord. I find this middle stage quite woody and has a very prominent note of star anise and lingers on the skin till dry down. There's a dry tobacco note in the dry-down which comes from the dust. On the whole, it's a woody aromatic scent and can be easily worn by women. Not ground breaking though but quite nice.

One more declinaison of Emporio Armani "Lui"(1998)in a softer edition.

I received this as a present...twice. And gave it to someone else... both times. Very typical of Armani or Boss. These houses always seem to produce fragrances that are similar to my nose. Armani code is plain boring from ad to packaging to content. Sickening sweet with discordant metal and powdery feel. I don't dislike these elements in general it is just here that they turn into something so trivial and annoying. Come to think of it I think I have an aversion for anise. I have no idea how olive blossom smells like and I have an olive tree in front of my house. I wonder how all these people can detect it in the mess that Armani code is...

Starts off with Lemon, which is sweetened slightly by bergamot. There is no middle for me, only base notes which burn the nasal passages ( even with discretionary use). I don't care for this fragrance at all, but it has good longevity and projection. As several have stated, the ladies seem to like it. I have received several compliments with Black Code. Bottom line: too much oriental base note.

good smell but waste of money doesnt project its just a water and doesnt last not only on my skin olso others say the same

My friend actually stole this from me one day and she sprayed it on... later that day I was actually impressed on how well CODE developed on her skin and I have to say for all the girls that love CODE.. give this a try. Definitely a girl can pull this off nicely. =)
BTW projection and longevity was better on her skin than mine. oh well... =)

muito copiado,armani para noite ou para romantismo? usei no reveilon justamente para ser impactado pelo passeio que a namorada fez por meio corpo.fragancia espetacular,sem igual.rente a pele sendo discreto,porem marcante.fixa muito na minha pele,deixando um cheiro de chocolate delicioso.perfumaço

absolutely <3 men who smell like that

Love this fragrance, had so many compliments on it! I've read alot of reviews, and many people are saying that the longevity on this fragrance is poor. This is not true! Give it 1-2 hours to really kick in. The dry down is subtle, and sometimes it isnt. It's as if the colder the environment, the more silage power it has. This is a must buy!

Longevity - 9
Projection - 8
Smell - 10
Season best in - Fall/Winter
Overall - 9/10

The ultimate code of seduction...

First had this when I was in high school (15 years old) and I still continue to buy this fragrance.

Starts with citrus notes with the bergamot and lemon. Kind of a bitter sweet citrus in my opinion. Shifting into a floral aroma with accents of citrus still there. Finishing with a powdery scent. This perfume is a really must try, very sexy,masculine, elegant and establishing.

I recommend this perfume for evening night-outs with friends, or even on a date. All I can think of when smelling this scent is passion, maturity and sensuality.

Longevity - 7/10
Sillage - 8/10
Scent - 9/10

This parfume has haunted me during my dating dayes. I seemed to attract men that liked this one.

When I sniff it at the shop. It is OK. Nothing fantastic. But somehow.. when men wear it im so turned off!!! Not sure if it was their body chemistry or what. I know the name, because I had to ask, what are is that???!! NEVER use it!

For me: Leather + Tabacco + Citrus???= ERROR
Gives me terrible headache too, super weird combo that just doenst work.

super peaceful and clean and classy smell I love it

My girlfriend bought me a bottle of this last christmas. I got a lot of compliments from armani code, but its a much more mature scent to me, not very youthful. Definitely a masculine scent, it reminds me of something a businessman, CEO, or boss type would wear...kinda like the guy pictured in the adverts lol. My girlfriend found it very appealing, but i didn't like the smell of it much myself. It was really strong almost headachy for the first 10-20 mins and after that i think i was so overpowered by the cologne i couldn't smell it anymore. If you like the smell of black ice air fresheners then this scent is right up your alley lol. This is definitely a cold weather fragrance, its warming, probably due to the bergamont and lemon. Its heart is definitely the leather and tobacco, which is what makes it so masculine. It doesn't project very well most of my compliments were given when people hugged me or were sitting really close. So if your looking for a strong defined masculine scent that you can wear to impress a girl when you get in close this is it.

For all the hype it receives, Code is still quite possibly UNDERrated. There really is nothing like it. Perfect for the cold weather and/or nighttime, I get amazing longevity with just a small amount (1 spray on each wrist). After 10 hours I can still easily notice its unique scent. Most importantly, its a huge hit with the ladies, as I've never received more compliments and "second-looks" with any other fragrance. Definitely lives up to its great reputation! A can't miss 10/10.

find it nice to go even on a female :)

Definite compliment getter during night time! can cause u headache if over spray though

9/10

A distinctive, masculine, sexy perfume which lacks in projection and longevity..

0-10 mins- It is hard to define which ingedients stand out as this is a blended complex scent. The only recognisable smell I can put to this is something which is not listed and I am probably way of the mark but that is a very light perfumed mixture of aniseed with even less violet. This is 99% the same as Dali Black Sun and 80% same as 212 sexy men. Though Code pre-dates them. It is less intense as Dali Sun though still very very nice

10 mins - 1.5 hours- Projection 1.5 foot. 10% different now than Dali Black Sun, it is like a diluted version of Dali

1.5 hours - 7 hours - Stays close to skin, little to no projection alas, becomes a little sour towards the end but still very nice and very masculine

Good but it needs much more projection

its romantic but not noticeable good for near distance or just to smell yourself not for to turn heads bcs its need to put your nose on your body to smell its very pricey for quality

To simplify things for people... Yes it has a nice smell but it only projects this faint/warm/fizzy/cream scent after no more than an hour. I really want to appreciate it just for the sweet scent but it's lack of determination frustrates me.

I LOVE THIS.
Whenever my boyfriend wears this scent it makes me want to purr, I've worn it a few times myself I am so enamored by the scent.

Tested this today and its nothing really special.

Longevity is nice. i got like 7 or more hours out of it.
Scent. nice, and light. 6/10. the longer you wear the better the smell gets.
Projection 7.5/10 , it wont go around too much, just enough i think.

Overall its a fine, cozy fragrance for a night out.
But if you look around you can find better ones.

wore this for the first time the other day and i could not help but smelling myself. it is absolutely amazing. scent was nothing i've ever experienced before and its longevity blew me away. this is a keeper

Sexy, seductive, attractive, brand presence, irresistible, chic, modern, rich, young, charming... All in one perfume.
I recommend it.
Excellent.

This is actually very very nice, the first month I had it I really didn't care for it very much, I thought it was very boring and nothing special... however the more I used it the more I loved it. Now it's definitely a must in my collection.
It's a really elegant, sexy, mysterious scent.

This one is not one of my top scents. I actually like Armani Attitude way better than this one.

Armani Code smells awesome and different than anything else I've smelled. It's not as main stream and other Armani products and will get noticed a lot. I would wear this during winter since it's pretty strong and can cut through cold weather well. I would recommend this to guys that are over 20 and looking for a cologne to wear for a night out.

Wear it, if you want to seduce! I'm talking from experience (and I'm a woman!)When I met Him (talking about the fragrance:), in the next second I fall in love with Him.

it begins with the smell of bergamot and olive blossom and then the transition to the creamy tonka bean is wonderful...jus wished it had better longevity and projection

Nice fragrance and i find it has a boozy citrus smell that i love . Unfortunately it also appeals to the masses so everyone has this one . I do like it on others just not myself .

I would not buy this one again :(

This is the best Armani perfume so far. Modern, classy and draw lots of attentions. If you can't decide what perfume to choose for a special night, I recommend this masterpiece.

My husband does not wear any scents but I swear if he wore this I'd be attacking him a LOT!!! Armani Code for men is simply delightful! I like Code for women myself. :0)

Love this one on my bf :). Recommended

I get a Dr. Pepper like smell. And the weird part is, that I really like it. LOL.

Dark, sexy, seductive. The perfect fragance for a night out. Very silky and smooth with a powedery spicy drydown. It lasts prett good! about 7-8 hours. Versality is kinda spotty since i find this a night out fragance. Seems innapropiate during the day...but thats just me.

I thought i would try this popular frag and I was so disappointed. Does not smell nice, projection is not and does not last long. I would not recommend it nor buy it again.

This is another amazing scent by Armani, as I am a big fan, but this one is just special, not comparable to any other. I recommend it for special occasions when you feel you need a confidence boost (Dates, Meetings, or even Parties) The Code is your man to pump you up.

P.S: I almost finished my second 100ml of the Code, absolute addiction!

I'm not so familiar with Armani, but the house itself HAS been impressing me as of late (aqua di gioia). This fragrance reminds me of something, but i just can't put my finger on it. It's reminiscent of LLAM, Hypnose homme and gucci by gucci yet in the same breath completely different.

This is a best seller? I would not have guessed, for it doesn't smell "trendy" or "seductive" to me. Even if this is wildly popular, it smells nice, so i really wouldn't mind smelling it everywhere i went. XD
If this were LLAM it would be the midnuit edition. If it were Hypnose Homme it would be called Dark Hypnose and if it were gucci by gucci it would be called Gucci by Gucci "good edition" :P

in the beginning one finds that there is a very "in your face" sort of olive accord paired with a dusting of licorice wood and powdery florals. Almost vanilla like, these accords work together to create something very smooth.
Towards the life of the scent on picked up on nuances of lemon, leather and again licorice wood/aniseed. Like a misty dark forest where the werewolves are only interested in one thing, sex.

I approve

Smell: 8
Longevity: 9
Sillage: 7.5

This is a lady killer. When you walk, you leave a long trace of nice smell. It last long and it is very unique. Not to wear for everyday, only in special occasions, and when you know that you will be surrounded by girls.

I love this scent, I wear it all year round. Mostly in Winter & when I'm going out at night.

I loved this scent from the moment I first smelled it and not long after that it became my favorite piece in my collection. Spicy and just short of fresh I like to call it coolness in a bottle. One night I wore it to the Disney Thanksgiving parade of lights downtown Chicago and the women standing next to me in the crowd kept sniffing me all night. One woman said it was the sexiest scent she had ever smelled on a man. If you are just starting to get into fragrances or your building a collection like me Armani code is a great choice.

This is a very popular scent here in the UK, especially among men aged 30-50, yet despite this I still rock it fairly regularly (I'm 26). Suitable for any age IMO, and a good one to wear on a dinner date or equivalent.

Masculine, sexy, modern and seductive. This perfume is for the contemporary man who knows how to seduce a woman.

When i smelled acqua di gio by armani, i didnt really like it and decided not to purchase any armani if they continue to smell like cleaner. When i smelled this, i was blown away. It smells magnificent. Very dark and good for special occasions.

this fragrance is soooo overrated. it smells like everything elsde on the market , and what i cant stand is when the SA at freaking macys try to say this is the best selling fragrance blah blah ,, women go crazy over this blah..im like im gay first of all secondly women dont go crazy over this . and third it smells like so many others. Armani hasnt rocked since the 90"s early 00's . ill pass on this and the new Sport Version

I found that this smells fruity, but too sweet. Not as refreshing as Versace pour homme, or Armani di Gio.

Today, I want to talk about one of my favorite fragrances: Armani Code.
The first time I heard him (I must say that I bought it blindly) I left a good impression, too dark, dense, unfathomable ... then the next time I realized that I get their hands on a masterpiece, the 'rough opening in the heart of the citrus blends with star anise (this is coupled with a well-known fabulous olive flowers), the ground is warm and sensual with leather flowers and fragrance reminiscent of a little tobacco.As Minotaure by Paloma Picasso Armani Code, but is less pungent, almost ten hours later there are still hints on the skin, is an olfactory experience not to be missed for a fantastic kaleidoscope of notes ... the bottom layer is ...

My God is full of stars......

wanted it for a while just got it and i have to say it smells good but not AMAZING as all the hype says im 19 its definitely for older men but o well

All i can say it works great with the ladies.. i have been an h&m model since i was 18 and i am now 24 and everytime i wear this to photoshoots i have with girls i get compliment upon compliment...great buy!!

The only problem I have with this masterpiece is its mass pleasing concept, and also someone whom I hate wear this!
Definitely a masterpiece, it opens a bit boozy-citric but quickly turns to mellow warm smoky pattern with bold floral or better, herbal mood. The scent is linear but in the base leather features with tobacco and still a blast of citruses is recognizable. This results in a similarity between the perfume in dry down and Dior Intense Homme with more vanilla and gourmand notes in a mild way.
Whole the perfume is something if you wear for casual and everyday, you waste it. It's highly ceremonial and formal; too chic and charming. Extremely masculine and luxurious.

longevity 7/10
sillage 9/10
scent 7/10

Wore this when it first launched (as a gift). Enjoyed wearing it but when finished I did not look to replenish.

Recently sampled Code and left with the same feeling. I really like it but I did not love it as much as I wanted to. That being said, it is quite good. Elegant, modern and (kinda) sexy but a bit linear.

The opening citrus notes are solid but moves on without delay and evolves into more of a smokey spicy scent.

Sillage good and longevity above average. I prefer this for evening wear.

Surprised by mentions of sticker shock. Don't believe that is the case. And, why no mentions of the bottle? Very modern, sexy and cool!

when i smell this, i get citrusy spicey masculain floral. shaving cream-ish? i guess not anything like rive gauche though

My husband had left one of those magazine samples opened on the bathroom counter. Every time I went in the bathroom I was in love with the smell. I ended up buying this for him for his birthday. I think it's the bergamot and leather I love so much. I can't help but want to snuggle him when he is wearing this!

There should really be an Eau de Parfum to this. I developed a love for Armani Code, but it just seems like it's supposed to make some more noise. It's very masculine, but needs the volume turned up a notch. I'm not one to wear obnoxious fragrances, but I feel like I want more from Armani Code. Although Armani Attitude Extreme didn't jump off as well as it's original, Armani should put an Armani Code Extreme into existence. Many of us would appreciate it.

It is alright but that's it and I don't understand all the hype around this fragrance. It's pretty linear, synthetic and safe. Sillage and longevity are good but it's not a groundbraking scent at all. I much more prefer Dali Black Sun which is similar in terms of the scent itself, but has got some roughness to it that Code simply lacks of.

I find this scent so sexy on a guy, a bit mysterious to, not to overpowering like most men cologne, not to fresh or sweet(like YSL La Nuit de L'Homme which is all cinnamon super sweet, and not very men like, Prada for women is similar).I don't like the ad though, this is a smooth, warm fragrance, the image in the ads is anything but...

Fresh semi-sweet powder
It also smells a little like honey to me
It is similar to Burberry Brit, but this is more thick and less sharp. I like both a lot, but I prefer Brit over this.

I WANT this... people keep jumping on it when they get a chance... It's VERY similar to YSL's La Nuit de L'Homme... it's dark, citrusy Musty male.. but Very sophisticated. I must say that Antoine Lie has this intuition for subtle alluring sexy nuances... it has an almost oily skin quality.... again, much like YSL.
Dry-Down lingers a sweet smooth Vanilla, similar to "Pi" by Givenchy.
YES, it does end up smelling like Anise RootBeer Dr.Pepper! that's the Tonka Bean, which Lingers for a LONG time after. Tonka Bean contains Coumarin, which has this strong Vanilla Cinnamon scent.
This is sexier than Aqua di Gio. this is for Night wear, lounging in leather sofa... unwinding.. couple a hot lovers in each arm.

armani code is a definite night fragrance. starts with an intense bergamot which smells like vanilla, but i think the effect of the scent does not take too long. it's a really sexy fragrance, however must be refreshed hourly.

Citrusy start then sweet creamy anise dry down,reminded me of something between le male ,lolita lempicka and fuel for life.
Very popular.
It's nice but there is thousands of similarity.
It doesn't worth an armani price,quality is below average.
Get a lot of compliment ,womens like it a lot.
Longevity 8-10 hours with good projection.
And dont be fooled by the nice black bottle and the guy in suit commercial,it's not formal at all.

Very nice (strong) and Elegant fragrance for evening use. +30 years old minimum.

Armani Code spray refillable eau de toiletteA new, elegant offering, perfectly shouldered rectangle for devotees. of Giorgio Armani fragrances.The ultimate in sophistication, these original and infinitely personal accessories seal the permanence of a long-term commitment for loyal admirers of these timeless scents. Satin midnight blue for Armani Code, the seductive, virile and voluptuous woody aromatic that opens out onto notes of olive flower, Gaiac wood and tonka bean.

Well made with very good lemon, which is uncommon. Also uncommon the lemon persists without fading for a very long time. Beyond that: smells nice, pleasant but becomes anonymous because it smells like so many others. This seems like it was put together with the goal of no one disliking vs. creating art. I think Versace Versense comes closer to what this was supposed to do.
Sillage: 2-5 ft

4/10

a fragrance for night parties for sure. it lastforever on the clothes..

For a young guy, this is one of the most complimented fragrances I wear. Mainly I use it in the fall and winter, because it projects really well on me.
The citrus opening is typically gone within the first couple hours and the dry down has a very interesting blend, maybe due to the olive blossom...
Overall I would say a good fall fragrance for a young guy...

The first cologne I ever found that I actually loved to wear. Lasts all day and smells great.

Another silly "baby powder bomb" disguised as a man's cologne

i find it intoxicating, almost lasts throughout my day. I've also been complimented by the fashionable women at my work place.

i wear it to go work almost everyday

Ok, this is nice. Sweet and musky floral scent. I've smelt it before somewhere so I wasn't impressed or surprised, but now I think of it, it's actually quite nice.
I find it very similar to One Million or YSL l'homme La Nuit, Ill have to test One million on my skin to decide which i like best.

It's an unsolved mystery to me how can such a generic, almost characterless slightly sweet boring oriental fragrance so immensely popular! Unbelievable!

This fragrance is beautiful!

hey please no body say any bad thing about this perfume. i love it. seductive. just cn't get enough talking about it. :*

I interpret this smell in different ways... Sometimes like a vanilla cola perhaps with amaretto. It's syrupy and I can faintly smell a bit of olive/anise/leather/tobacco mystery. The smell itself can be quite intriguing.
The downfall:
The smell over all is too faint if not drenched in the stuff. If drenched it can last alright but dries into something soft smelling.

I have "Armani Code" and not "Armani Black Code" btw.

This is so dull. Everytime i spray it i wait with baited breath for something interesting to happen....which it never does. It is like the olfactory version of sticking cotton wool in your ears and listening to James Blunt.

Very sweet. My father has this perfume and I can't wait to see him and use his perfume. I don't think this perfume is a masculine or charming for men. Very calming and unisex in my opinion. The very first smell can be called fresh but what fallows is sweet.

i usto love this scent, i had an old bottle 125 ml of black code and it was non stop compliments and an amazing deep masculine scent, like my old review said.....

but now i went to the store to buy a new bottle and its not the same like it used to be, its more of a powdery baby powder scent now.. i dont understand but this is not the same.

This fragrance is so masculine and nice. I bought a gift set with 4 items in it for my son, just could not resist, because this is his signature scent.

It projects well, yet is not overpowering. Something sexy without the slightest trace of vulgarity.

This cologne is over-hyped. It's a great smell but it doesn't seem like it is anything groundbreaking. However, the compliment factor on this one is freaking awesome. Girls love it for some reason, so for that reason I would include it in your collection.

Very nice smell, though without staying power.

As a lover of Escada Magnetism for men I was expecting to like this as so many have indicated similarities. It pained me to finally try a sample and find it smelled so bland and insipidly sweet on my skin. It projected well but just smelled so ridiculously cheap and nasty on me. Very dissapointing for me. Try before you buy.

Very Clean refreshing perfume.. Got this for my hubby and he likes it soo much..very masculine, fresh, sexy perfume... and me too like this sooo much :)

Initial citrus notes are quite noticable... after a while the middle notes matures.. Sweetish blossoms and leathery flavour... Silage is quite good and has a pleasurable warmth to it... A bottle has to be there at all times!

I love it

10/10

SEDUCTIVE. i love love this one and nothing else. first place till 10 place in my favourite ones. when i smell on a guy i'm going crazyy. nothing compare to this. can say i like wood by disguard2 and some others. but i love this. irresistable sexyyyy as heeellll. breath taking. <3 you know what if they discontiniued this one, i will kill them all. i will buy this only for my dearest ones. don't want anybody to smell it. jealous. just want it for speciall ones. <3

@ Nocebo: It's the same thing. It used to be called Armani Black Code, now it's called Armani Code. If you get the former, then you got yourself and old bottle. Be careful though, I heard there are fake bottles circulating.

Of course it's worn by many but that shouldn't be a reason not to purchase this frag. Loved it for years and now I finally got my hands on it... couldn't resist any longer. :)

Just one thing, is there a difference between "Code" and "Black Code"? Apparently they're just different packages but I wanted to make sure Black Code is not some kind of edition. ^^

Armani Code, Beautiful one of the best!

This fragrance is a master piece what i smell in this fragrance is lime, grass, a bit of lavender and incense this fragrance should be used during the winter i really recommended this if you like smokey yet sexy fragrances

Very good oriental scent. Kind of hard to describe this scent. It smells amazing and almost fresh, but I wouldn't consider it a fresh frag. It has very good sillage and longevity, with decent projection. My girlfriends favorite by far.

One of my GF's favorites along with La Nuit De L'Homme. It goes from a spicy frag down to an almost powdery base. I really love the initial blast of spice and fruit. The drydown is very nice, but I just wish the top notes would last a little longer.

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.

Truly love this. Received compliments here and there. But it smells different, depending on the weather and time of the day.

This one is really good - sweet with lots and lots of flowers. It's also very strong and last for many hours. But for me it's not quite masculine scent, because it's not spicy at all. Woman i know says: "Really cute scent but with my eyes closed i don't know if i smell a man or a woman", and my old friend, who is a gay says: "You smell nice" ;) And that's why i want to sell it and buy something different ;D

its a good night time scent to wear and definately has some serious sex appeal and LOTS of people really like it

Absoulutly love this,not to heavy and lasts 4 to 6 hours

This here is a rather nice frag. I would give it a thumbs up, but it does not last long, maybe 3 hours or so and for that reason I cant go up! But I will remain neutral because by no mains its not a bad scent. I get a very soft feel from Black Code.

It is characterless, and for me it only strengthened my natural body scent.
I actually liked it at first times. But as you got old with it... well, maybe it's just not for me.

This is not at all spicy !!!!On Many notes i can not agree even !!!! I guess at many perfumes here no proper home work is done !!!! Strange !!!

I'm so confused on the website the nodes are:olive flower, Gaiac wood and tonka bean. On Fragrantica: Bergmot-Lemon-Star Anise-Olive Blossom-Leather-Tobacco

Please tell me,Which nodes are correct?

A sensual and mysterious scent, very suitable for young men. Its combination of masculine flowers and a touch of snuff too subtle Armani Code gives a very sophisticated and seductive atmosphere. Despite his notes, finally has a very silky and elegant aroma, light, subtle but persistent. A great fragrance to seduce.

Can last up to nine hours on my skin, and for many women is very close to an aphrodisiac. Regrettably the age range does not allow use by men with more than 40 years, since the notes despite being smart too cheerful, so seriously that they lose if they use this fragrance. Its nature is eminently cold climates, but can be used in warm climates where evening events.

I own this fragrance since i got it in 2005..I still have the same bottle as today..I blind buy this at the mall cause the sales lady told me its one of the popular one..I soon as i wear it i instantly fell in love it..Its so romantic and sexy smell, this is my secret weapon when going out with the ladies or special occassion..i smell a bit of powerdery in this as it dry down.( not baby powder, just a hint of it)...Its a wonderful scent and its suite for winter..but i still wear it on a date..reminds me of wearing a black tuxedo which i dont even have one but it felt good when i wear this..It last in my skin for 6 to 8 hours and projection is great...though too much spray can be overwhelming..2 or 3 spray is good enough to get attention from the ladies..Great job armani...

Hi.

ARMANI CODE is very popular for two obvious reason.

1:when you wearning it,you fell like you are in an DREAM.

2:It is definitely a SEDUCTIVE in a SUBTLE and ELEGANT way and demands attention as ladies swoon over this fragrance.

Yes one of my favorite fragrances.it is the better than ATTITUDE for me.the top notes is fresh and sweet with a little spicy but not too hot but middle/base are in a warm way.

Perfunctory ARMANI CODE is all about a confident man,definitely for a man ready to go at special occasions in autumn/winter evenings and too this smells great on my skin and longevity is good.

7.5/10

The opening of Armani Code is agressive: the smell is very aseptic and purifying, it reminds me the one of lavender. But this first impact lasts only a few minutes. Then the smell seems really herbal, like the smell of culinary and sweet herbs, to become rapidly less sweet; I have never smelt olive blossom, but the perfume stays truly oily, pleasant, calm, until it decays and smells not leathery but dusty to my taste.
At the beginning, there is something that reminds me the beautiful heart of Le Male and Fleur du Male by Jean Paul Gaultier. Then Armani Code becomes just acceptable and nice. Not for life enthusiasts.

it's tamed, sensual, romantic and only intended for summer evening nights out. it's nothing out of this world, just the scent you'd expect Armani to come up with.

depending on people's rating here, i selected armani code as one of the best. yesterday i tried it at rossmann, but to my disappointment it was kind of a sweet perfume , not my liking.....
infact it was 'armani code' , i am still looking forward to test 'armani black code'

ok, on third day, its fragrance became really gorgeous. the tester strip was lying on my table and i did not know where this super smell is coming from. tremendous longivity and super smell (but initial notes are not so good :(

Smooth.....
If one word can describe this fragrance smooth is it!

With Armani Code I mostly detect the olive note, maybe a little bit of leather and lemon, but other than that it seems at odds with the oriental spicy category that it is given. I would say it’s more of a gourmand.

I agree with sky76sky's comment about being surrounded by a delicate fog. Whenever I wear Code I seem to be consumed by a fog of vanilla olive smoothness. Which lasts 6 plus hours.

My lady really enjoys Code too. There have been times when she has let out the softest of moans upon smelling my neck, enough to send tingles through both our bodies.

I bought this one a few years back. I got compliments once or twice, but the main problem I have with it is longevity. You can smell it great in the first hour but after that it fades away. Girls love it but I find it rather feminine/no masculinity at all. Baby powder describes this scent.

I really love Armani Code when I spray it on my skin rather than using a vial to dab on my skin or a scent strip.

IMHO, Armani Code smells quite different from the paper and it mixes with my chemistry so well that I gain 7+ hours of longevity.

Overall. Elegantly sweet and gentle fragrance. Armani says "class" out loud in this fragrance.

Cheers,

Well, thanks, this one smells rather satisfactory, but are you sure it is made for men? It reminded me more of some car scent from the first sniff onwards, and it still does. Better think twice before actually wearing it on your skin.

I first tried it together with Attitude, on a paper card, and I remember linking Attitude more. The saleswoman and my girlfriend would choose Code, but today, having both scents, I remain liking Attitude more. Both are really different from eachother. Code, as an oriental, is to me more refined, wearable and not so loud like others modern orientals like Herrera Sexy Man, Cuba Gold (to be fair, I kinda like these two!)and so on. Like Attitude, for me it always works better during fall, winter and mild temperatures in general. If I don't find it great, I don't find it bad either.

So good, So classy, SO sweet and elegant, it is simply the perfection
I adore it.

when i bought this back in 2005..i wear alot at night..i spray only one on the neck and one in my wrist..i love this scent..feels warm on cold weather...and i still have the bottle now...almost gone but i cant wait to buy a new one...

10 out 10

This perfume is perfect for the night, very classy, elegant, sophisticated smell, very masculine also. And love the bottle

Amazing, litterally my favorite, its a compliment grabber, such a masculine scent, very classy, the tobacco and leather really top this one off!

If you smoke ciggarettes the blend with this and ciggs are amazing, makes u feel so masculin when you wear this. 10/10

Wasn't crazy about this when i first tried it on, but after two or three trials, i absolutely loved it and now i can't stop wearing it; very good longevity and sillage. The opening is pretty strong and spicy, but not in an 'in your face' kind of way. The drydown is awesome; very sweet, sexy and sophisticated. Seems to be very popular with the ladies also, which is always a good thing. My favourite Armani fragrance

Smells really great, what can I say. Very good longevity and projection. Very complex and finished composition. Good for any occasion. Elegant and realy attractive fragrance. Well, almost perfect scent for cold weather for men. But there is the same problem, wich AdG have - it's almost on everyone. You can't feel yourself unique with this, due to its huge popularity... Sad but true. 8/10

amarni code is all i wear i love the smell evan. i have the bath stuff 2 lol best smell ever amarni code can easily beat any aftershave on the market

for me; DECLARATION by Cartier and CODE by Armani ...

I dont agree with the reviewers who say it is oriental spicy :D
It is definitely not spicy nor oriental.
Maybe it smells spicy for ADG users and who doesnt know other scents :D
It is fresh, smooth a little creamy, powdery and a hint of leather and anise, thats all I get. So simple and soulless.
It is hard to deal with aqua-citrus generation boys.
There has been any Armani in my collection till now, and seems will not.
This should have been launched as female scent, there is any masculine note in it. No woods no spice!

My fiancé smells amazing in this. It's the perfect business scent for him. It smells different in every season, but the leather and the tobacco are always present on him, and that's what makes this scent so incredibly sexy. Another review noted this would be a evening scent. On the right chemistry, this is an office scent: soft, sexy, warm and masculine. It always smells good.

I am getting the strong smell of lemon,anise and leather. Very nice longevity. It has a slight powder note on the dry down on my skin.

Bulla smells nice

I am not sure I would call this hellish nasty thing a "scent" at all. It reminds me of anti limescale toilet cleaner (I`m sure it would do the job too :) Awful!!!

A sexy and spicy edt. It's not freshing, must be used at night. A very good scent, but after the first bottle it becomes anoying and boring.

Oriental, slightly sweet, and seductive. Perfect for a date. Women love it. Lasts long as well.

Love this cologne. I think it is the best of the Armani line. Smells strong and sexy. Could be used as an everyday scent if you go lighter in the summer.

this is the cologne i would wear on a date, to a party, a formal event or on one of those cold winter nights.. it is a sweet fragrance and almost has a warming effect on the people around.. it is a strong and lasting fragrance so i just use one spray to the neck.. ladies have called this one seductive and everytime i wear it i get a handful of compliments which just makes me feel really good.. i would not however recommend this for summer or day wear as it is way too heavy for a hot day.. it's great for special occasions

I think the scent lives up to the rumors. I think its great. Not incredibly original, but special enough to stand out.

Fresh, hip, modern, and functional.

Smell it, try it on, love it.

This is a wonderful fragrance, I don't have any complaints, last up to 8hrs on me gets me tons of compliments. this is sure to stay in my collection with a back up in the waiting a definite classic.

This fragrance is exaggerated. Heard a lot about it and decided to get 1. The notes are not bad but not what i expected.it also has poor longevity. Too bad for a fragrance of its caliber.

man, this is some of that sunday go to a meeting smell good right here,love it, but i HATE how dude cut the bottles from 3.4oz to 2.5 but still charge top dollar.THATS BOGUS armani!

Very interesting. I was about to dismiss it as a good, but rather mainstream fragrance...but then it started to open up on my skin & I was aware of a lovely, warm, delicate fog surrounding me. It was a light but pervasive sillage & not one I was expecting.

Looking at the notes you could be mistaken in thinking it was a fresh yet dark lemony scent. On my skin it settles into a deep, warmth...the lovely well-kept leather & vanilla pipe tobacco anchoring it down. A residue of green, citrus oil from the zest of a lime is happy to be kept in the background. In the midst of this is the tiniest lift from the anise & blossoms - almost mouth-watering.

I really wish that the bottle suited this laid-back fragrance. Black & simple may be typically aimed at men but this is not a hard, boring-black fragrance. Nor is it Bvlgari-Black (perfect packaging for that one!). A very poor design job (& I speak from experience) that lets down this scent.

very nice. Lasts a very long time. one of my favorites of my collection

It's very warm and sweet. It last an entire day on me (well, it is Eau de Parfum...).

It is not bad, but it is generic and short lasting for its price. It smells good, but there are other cologne which smell better and are more chic: even Emporio Night from Armani is very similar to this one and appeared earlier on the market. That's not a good thing.

I bought it relatively cheap and I admit it has some magic: now on my skin its drydown is a sheer leather with some sweet spices. I do get a connection with Bvlgari Black( that one is leathery/rubbery in the beginning, this one is reversed). However, this is too sheer to be an oriental spicy:where is the ambery labdanum+vanilla, where is the spicy kick, cause I don't find it. I perceive this fragrance is best worn with a leather jacket. I consider it good, but not excellent.

Too much for my sensitive nose. I "get it", but I don't agree. If you have to spray on more than 2 shots, take a shower and use some soap, because overdoing this one will give people around you headaches. My ex loved it so I wore it, but it's not what I wan to be remembered by.

ARMANI CODE is the elegance and glamour of Hollywood mysteriously wrapped in a midnight blue bottle. It is the first oriental fragrance for men by Giorgio Armani.
An elegant, sexy masculine scent that combines sleek seductiveness with sophistication. This masculine scent possesses a blend of lemon, bergamot, guaiac wood, tonka bean, olive flower.

I can’t understand Armani’s love for watermelon and cucumber! Armani, almost invariably across all their men's fragrance line, are full of watermelons and cucumber. It looks like they have a watermelon and cucumber farm somewhere in Italy! I don’t get it!... The nose behind it must’ve developed two left nostrils during the design and testing stage! …. This is not a fragrance; it is an assault on one’s olfactory senses.

Two thumbs down for this one.

this fragrance is on my top 10 favorit fragrances :)

it smell sweet, elegant and sexy .

last all day on my skin :)

I’m not an easily pleased when it comes to the men scents, cause I’m find them too heavy and sharp, or too woody, but this one is love from the first sniff. I gave it as a present to my husband some years ago, and it is still our Number one.
It is so warm, spicy and soft, and fresh enough at the same time. Very elegant and suitable for every occasion.

THANKS Mitsouko.

GMK, You are very beautiful smelles. It's Armani Code, of course :)

I am wearing it since 1 year but never received any compliment from ladies. I would prefer Chanel Allure over this.

If you are from the Mediterranean and
know olive then this scent is
nothing but an olive blast.
Can't understand why women dig it. Nothing fascinating here. Just an
entry level fragrance.

Over-hyped. It is quite a good scent, but the commercials--and what people here have said--make it seem better.

There is a very, very odd watermelon-type scent as a top to middle note. I find it annoying, but some girls I know really like it. Maybe it is just that weird scent that is tainting my review.

i cannot stop using this one because of the great compliments i receive! great quality scent that lasts for hours. i would recommend it for office wear since it is fresh, elegant, masculine and sexy.

its definitely the best fragrance in the market to my knowledge. subtle, balanced, clean and exciting at the same time. a little expensive, but worth the money. i only wish it could last more on my skin.

Oh my!!!!
This scent is absolutely delicious.
Very sensual and when my husband wears it,irresistible.
Always a great fragrance to purchase.

Oh My God!!! Armani... always the boring sweet or boring fresh pour homme.

Fresh smell and lasts almost forever ... Only con it has is that too many people wear it :S ... So if you wanna be unique I suggest you go look for another kind of cologne to represent yourself.

it is a really good scent but i don't agree with guest_nancy, it is not fresh at all. it is sweet and sexy

very good scent, oriental spicy but fresh at the same time. and the guy is sexy in the commercial;)
