What does Armani Code A-List smell like?

It begins fresh and green: green mandarin orange and bergamot give a bright start, and Provençal lavender leads the heart. In the base, tonka bean adds sweetness while gaiac wood brings a dry, woody edge. Spicy and powdery tones stay in the background, and a synthetic sheen runs through the scent.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it suits everything from nights out to the office and leisure time. It reads masculine and classic. Zara Kilsbergen and Sober Bangkok share a close profile.
