What does Armani Code Colonia smell like?

Most voters recommend it for spring and summer, and few pick it for winter. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named settings. Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. More than half of voters call it masculine, and some also find it modern.

It opens with mandarin orange, pink pepper and bergamot. Orange blossom, salicylate and clary sage form the heart. Tonka bean and heliotrope sweeten the base. The fresh, aquatic and fruity accords lead, while spicy and woody touches stay in the background.
