What does Armani Code (2021) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. Night out and evening are the leading occasions, with daily and business wear also getting votes. Half of the voters call its character masculine, followed by modern and classic.
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon for a fresh citrus feel. In the heart, rosemary and lavender add an aromatic lift. Tonka bean absolute, vanilla, musk and cedarwood carry it into a sweet, creamy, powdery woodiness, with spicy touches staying in the background. Mazzolari Hartley and Majouri The One And Only have a close profile.
