PowderyWhat does Armani Code Ultimate pour Homme smell like?
It opens with mandarin orange and grapefruit, while star anise adds a spicy edge. The heart of cypress, cedar, heliotrope and olive blossom moves between floral and woody. The base of gaiac wood, tonka bean and vanilla sweetens it, leaving a gourmand, powdery, oriental finish.
Most voters pick autumn and winter, and night-out and evening wear lead. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Close to half of voters read it as masculine. Kate Moss Vintage and Givenchy Ange ou Démon (Eau de Parfum) have a similar profile.
