Armani Code (for men)

sky76sky

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 good scent for daily wear, but for night time i would prefer somethin a little more edgy and unique

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

andy

too gritty and rough but masculine in a good way perfect for a date, but TOO FORMAL 4 night club settings

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.

Popular and much imitated. Strong, sharp, sweet, spicy and creamy. I think once the excessive sweetness starts to die down, it becomes more tolerable. This is best worn at night when you're out in the city. Me, I don't like it. I'm too particular.

Despite my rather diabetic palate, I actually found this to be pretty good. It is undoubtedly a little too sweet for me to embrace this wholeheartedly, but this is a well polished ride to the base notes. This appears to have quite a spartan architecture, and I think it benefits from this simplicity. Fewer moving parts means less to go wrong. The single ingredient in the mid notes gives it a great deal of stability, and the Olive Flower is an interesting choice. This is a solid package to take to a smart casual gathering.

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.

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.

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.

ThePerceiver

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.

Alan

Its a true classic!Very oriental,and spicy.This is very sexy,women love it!!

acc

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.

shehbaz

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.

Manuella

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

chocolateguy

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

ok1907

It is not that great in my opinion but everybody says all girls are impressed by armani code. In addition, it lastingness on my skin is really short like an hour or two at most. I wouldn't recommend this perfume to anybody.

Mahmoud_agd

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.

noddoc

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

guest_nancy
