Armani Code Absolu

If you like the new wave of more or less flat, sweet scents like Victory Elixir, Most Wanted Intense (black bottle), and Scandal Absolu you should maybe sample this and see what you think. I'm not sure what prices are like on this at the moment, but I wouldn't pay too much more than you would for any of those, because the differences with some of them are nuanced. I guess you could think of the whole Code line as ahead of its time since every brand on earth seems to be copy pasting this profile in the last few years, and Code Absolu is one of my favorites. It hits me as most similar to Scandal Absolu in that it has that nondescript sweet profile, but doesn't strike me as synthetic in the way that Most Wanted Intense does. I've said in other reviews that you should sample as many of these sweet scents as you can and decide for yourself, because I'm not the only one admitting that they're having a really hard time articulating the differences between them. My fave in this family is still Scandal Absolu, then this, then vintage Code EDP, Victory Elixir, The Most Wanted Intense, then Most Wanted Parfum. There are others, but I hesitate to include them, because I don't have as much experience with them. YSL Myself seemed to be similar, but that was with a burnt nose at a store. It doesn't matter which you choose frankly, because these are not very deep scents at the end of the day, not to talk down about them because that's not their point, clearly. I will say that Victory Elixir has a bit of that Invictus DNA going on noticeably, which adds a little more character, and I like it a lot more for that reason. I think in practice, it would be nicer smelling and might invite more compliments than any of these, because that DNA is loved by the ladies, apparently, and that stuff can get nuclear performance depending on the situation. Most Wanted Parfum is a little bit of a departure because it has a little fruitiness that some have called "grape soda" which can be nice, but some have called it less manly than the Intense (black bottle). Scandal Absolu appeals to me most because it has a nuttiness and very slight fruitiness (not as much as The Most Wanted Parfum) that accompanies the sweetness nicely. Victory Elixir is a close second or even tie for me at the moment. They are all so similar to me and my opinion is subject to change because of that. All of these are apart from Stronger With You Intensely, which isn't even in the same realm as these, considering how similar they are to one another. I prefer that to all of them, because it actually has spicy scent character with its sweetness, a little nuttiness, and just smells more natural than these. I recommend anyone who can't parse out this nonsense to just sample all of these if you can't be throwing money around, but my verdict on Code Absolu is that it is on the higher end of these scents by far and probably tied for first with Scandal Absolu and Victory Elixir to me, and most people don't even think about it nowadays, so there's a tiny uniqueness factor going on there. UPDATE: I've been dwelling on these scents pretty heavily for a while now, and I've gotta say that Absolu is my new favorite. There's just more subtlety, natural quality, depth, and pleasantness going on here. I'm really sad that this is discontinued. I think it's one of the best fragrances ever made.

A re-review. So many fragrances that I own end up being discontinued!! It's a conspiracy to prevent me from smelling nice! Lol This was a good fragrance from Armani. I'm sad to see it go, so I felt inclined to say something about it. I remember I got this bottle at the start of my fragrance journey, I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and explore more sweeter fragrances. I ended up liking this enough to get a 110ml. Ever since I had the bottle, I've been using it exclusively for special occasions in the colder seasons. It's not a complex scent. Quite linear, but its blend is done so well. It's very powerful. However, it's one of those scents that, even if it's filling up a room, literally nobody would complain about smelling it. Honestly, it's addictive now that I'm whiffing the bottle. It's very sweet and suede leather like. The opening has green apple and mandarin that linger for a bit. Once dissipated, it makes way for a strong suede leather and lots of vanilla with slight aromatics of nutmeg. It is impossible to miss. On top of it, there are prominent powdery tonka with woody hints. No transitions or anything, this is what you get till the end. But I wouldn't call it boring - it's just pleasant. It pushes those notes constantly on the skin with no end to it. But it does it in such a way that isn't cloying, and that's what I find impressive. This is probably the sweetest fragrance I own. I find the sweetness balanced enough for me to pull it off. I've had some memorable compliments with it. It really was "sensual" - and I know that term gets thrown around for so many fragrances that just aren't it. But this one definitely did the job, with great projection and longevity. Peace out.

Probably the most hyped in the Armani Code line with Profumo being a close second. Does it live up to the hype? Read on to find out; Scent: Opening is sweet, leathery, and powdery. Immediately I get strong notes of leather/suede, and vanilla, followed by woods, nutmeg, and apple. Dry down is sweet, powdery, and woody. The leather/suede note is gone, the vanilla and woods have gotten stronger, and the tonka has emerged to provide extra sweetness. Performance: Initial projection is nuclear and fills a room. Sillage matches that intensity with a heavy scent trail. After a few hours the projection was about arms length and there was still a noticeable scent trail. Around the 8-10 hour mark the projection was 12 inches or less and there was a slight scent trail. Altogether the scent lasted on my skin over 12 hours. When to wear: This is most suited as a fall/winter fragrance, but is soft enough to be worn day or night. I wouldn't recommend it for the office, but it would be a great pick for a date night. Blind buy: If you like the Code line, or you like sweet, powdery scents, this is a safe blind buy for you. Final verdict: In my opinion this is the best of the Armani Code line. It smells amazing, has great performance, and always gets compliments. Profumo is a close second, but Absolu isn't quite so heavy handed with the sweetness, and as such is a little more versatile. It's discontinued now, so it's hard to find and usually expensive when found. Fragrancenet will sometimes get bottles in stock. If you stumble upon it for a good price, I'd say $150 or less for a 100ml bottle, jump on it; it's a perfect addition to a fall/winter lineup. Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 10/10 Sillage: 9/10

It seems that Armani finally realized that the average Code customer is now 30-45 years old, and wants something that can compete quality wise with Chanel and Dior. Yes Absolu has similarities to Profumo. They both share a sweetness that is lacking in the original Code, but where Profumo is decidedly childish, Absolu uses it's oriental aspect to great effect. The opening is classic Code. Sweet nandarin and apple. Synthetic yes, but also quite edible. The middle stage introduces nutmeg and coriander. However both spices are happily gone within minutes, along with the top. After 3-4 minutes the drydown is here. And this is where they got Absolu so right. Take leather and marry it to vanilla, and that famous tonka note. Stir in a splash of woods. That sweet vanillic leather is simply stunningly made. It's never over sweet or in your face, instead the fragrance is far more reserved. Whilst the original still holds up, I would recommend anyone to go for this instead. It can sit comfortably alongside Egoiste and Tobacco Vanille. Whilst it doesn't reach the quality of either, it still reeks of craftsmanship and quality. Longevity is fantastic - 12+ hours. Rating: 8.5/10

Armani Code Absolu defines perfection. Nothing in this word is perfect but I think this heavenly scent is the close thing to being flawless. If a blind person asks me what beauty means I will show Him Armani Code Absolu What I mean by that, smelling Armani Code Absolu makes me think of making love with the most beautiful woman on the planet, I remember the first time I sprayed Code Absolu on my arm I just fell head over heels in love with it. I was blown away when I smelled the dry down, that powdery sweet. heaven It made my heart melt, I instantly recognized tonka which is one of my favorite perfume notes. So smooth and romantic juice, Dark and and mysterious at the same time. I got tons of crazy reactions with Armani Code Absolu Best compliments I received from a fragrance is for this fragrance. Compliments Like "Omg you smell amazing" or there was a girl who litterly digged her nose in my neck, closed her eyes for seconds and told me I like to smell you all night . This fragrance I believe make Ladies wildest dreams come true.

Bu kokuya ikinci defa sahip oluyorum daha önceden 30ml şişem vardı ve severek kullandım, şimdi 2019 üretimi 110ml bir şişeye sahibim kokuyu seviyorum fakat benim cildimde istenilen performansı vermiyor sanırım bende kuruması tozlu kirli bir tatlılık, açılışı güçlü ve sevilebilir, bu yeni şişem öncekine kıyasla daha zayıf bir ömüre sahip, ilginç bir şekilde kokuyu denemek için 6 yaşında oğlumun bileğine püskürttüm ve inanılmaz bir şekilde 6 saat sonra ona satıldığımda jpg le mali kokuyordu önce anlam veremedim ve bileğini kokladım bu inanılmaz şekilde 2009 yılında sahip olduğum le male ile aynı kurumaya sahipti, koku sanırım tenden tene farklı notları ortaya çıkarıyor ben defalarca denememe rağmen asla öyle kokmadı, sıcak havalar için rahatsız edici olabilir, serin yaz akşamları da dahil olmak üzere tüm mevsimler için kullanımı kolay kalıcı fakat yayılımı zayıf bir koku, çok çabuk cilt kokusuna dönüşür, ona sahip olduğum için mutluyum, üretimi durması sebebiyle bir daha sahip olamayacağım sanırım.

I usually don't notice the numbers when people vote for how masculine or feminine, 26 people, probably people just mashing any optio, thought this scent was fully feminine. Not often you see a designer make a scent that blows away a niche type scent. Usually niche are daring, risk taking, and the price reflects that. This is a case, an example of a designer just killing it with perfection. Other examples off the top of my head is Dior Homme(Intense & Parfum), Issue Miyake L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homne Noir Ambré. Just it's so rare to see a great scent and this is one of my all time favorites. I have about 20% left and I use it for very significant occasions. Weddings, interviews, meetings ..ect. Thr scent profile on this is 100% for me, 5/5, or 10/10, however way you measure this, this one is a masterpiece. Another masterpiece is Profumo...if you want a low budget, high satisfaction, collection like a dozen or so, this one in my opinion is a must.

Think of Le Male Elixir (2023) But less sweet and more mature. Women will love to smell this on you, it’s very mass appealing. You get a big dose of vanilla from start to finish, the opening is a bit citrusy and fresh but the more it dries down the sweeter it gets. The suede leathery touch is also very nice with that orange blossom making it a bit powdery, the fragrance itself is beautifully blended. In terms of performance, I get about 8-9 hours of longevity and above average projection 3-5 sprays. (Please let the fragrance sit for a few months if you’re having performance issues) I typically wear this in the winter especially nighttime, beware that if you wear this during a hot summer day, you will choke people out since it’s sweet and heavy. Overall, it’s a great fragrance to have in your collection and unfortunately it is discontinued but you can try to find this in places like eBay, just look out for fakes!

Armani Code Absolu by the renowned fashion house Giorgio Armani, designed specifically for men, is a fragrance that captivates with its luscious sweetness. However, caution is advised when applying this scent, as the number of sprays should be carefully controlled; too much of this potent juice can lead to an uncomfortable headache. On the bright side, this alluring fragrance has the power to garner numerous compliments and attention, as it undoubtedly did for me during the times I wore it. Unfortunately, despite my desire to own a bottle of this exquisite elixir, it has been discontinued, leaving me longing for its presence in my collection. Where it is still available, sellers have priced it exorbitantly, treating it as though it were rare treasure, likened to gold, making it nearly unaffordable for enthusiasts who wish to bask in its aromatic glory.

My daughter gifted me this fragrance last Fall. I had sampled it at my local Macy's about a year ago while I was purchasing some other fragrances for my collection. Of all the fragrances I sampled that day, this one stood out with the most character and appeal. I immediately placed it on my "Future Purchase List" later that evening when I got home. So when I met my daughter for lunch one Fall afternoon, she surprised me with a bottle of Armani Code Absolu. Needless to say, I was very excited to receive it. I've been enjoying it ever since. And now that it's been discontinued, I'm truly glad I got the opportunity to have it as part of my collection and make some scent memories with it. Hopefully it will still be available when I empty the bottle, because I definitely would like to add it back to my fragrance wardrobe. This one truly is a Banger!

Oh man how i love this fragrance. So well blended and lasts for hours. I'm in love with very sweet scents like Ultra Male, Eros, Azzaro wanted by night, Prada Luna black, CH men Prive and Invictus, just simply because they work so well for me during nightouts and especially clubbing & dating ....Mark my word Armani Code Absolu best of above all mentioned I have never owned 1 Million, mainly because of the hype around it, not because i don't like the smell. So even if people would compare it with 1 Million after smelling it on me which is not true both are different smelling but i would just simply not care at all because Armani Code Absolu is super sexy, crowdpleasing, Panty Dropper, lasting for hours (if not even days) and works just so incredibly well if your goal is to attract girls/women. And believe me, you will!

10/10. Incredible. One of the best designer fragrances of all time. I'm a Code fanboy, so I am a bit biased. I love the whole DNA in all of its forms. Gold may top this one for me on a personal level (wore absolu gold a lot more overall than Absolu), but they're very close. I love Profumo as well as the EDP and EDT. Even the new Parfum. But, if you were to only go for one, I'd say go for the Absolu. As an aside, I love this DNA so much i even buy the clones that are *supposedly* decent ones, to try, as it is nice to know that I can use my real ones sparingly and stretch them out. As @AndyWarholsFavoriteWig pointed out, the FW Harmony code absolu is very close to the real deal and a decent performer as well. I do have to say I'm disappointed that the line got discontinued but that is reality these days.

Note - This is a review of Harmony Code Absolu by FW - one of the best clones of Code Absolu. Before getting this fragrance, I was never big on leather, but this has changed my mind absolutely. Great balance between all the notes, while not making the scent linear. Compared to original code, there are notes of citrus and powder that are similar, but for the most part, this fragrance is doing its own thing. Perfect balance of sweet and masculine in my opinion, can't see anyone hating this. As for the performance, its not intimate nor loud, really hits the sweet spot for me. Lasts a decent while. While a winter fragrance, can definitely be worn in summer nights (around 15deg celsius), cloying in the sun. All in all, keep this one hidden, keep people on the jpg le male trend. Truly underrated.

I love this fragrance. If you want vanilla with a very masculine vibe, this is the fragrance for you because it has an overdose of suede and woods. It's just as good as Eros, Ultra Male, Spicebomb Extreme, ect in terms of clubbing fragrances. Unfortunately, this has been discontinued. It will be on discounters for a little longer, so if you're reading this now, it's still readily available. If you're reading this in the future, here are your options: 1. Get a decant from a trusted decanter in the Facebook groups (I got Bleu Electrique doing this) 2. Wait for a trusted seller in one of the Facebook groups to put a bottle up for sale 3. Wait for a major discounter to get this back in stock 4. Buy it off of eBay for an insanely inflated price (Don't do this)

#Fragrance Journey 15 This is easily the best winter fragrance I own, I’ve only got about 20–30ml left in the bottle and I’m honestly trying to get as much mileage as I can with what is left. It’s a real treasure, since it’s discontinued, I only bring it out during fall and winter for special occasions. I know there’s a dupe called Harmony Code Absolute by Fragrance World, that I’ll have to try at some point but this one, ACA, is on another level, just a true masterpiece especially for a designer, this stuff packs a punch. It doesn’t fall into that overly sweet, generic gourmand vanilla dry down that’s everywhere right now. The vanilla here is smooth, refined, and blended perfectly, lasting more than 9+hrs, with great projection. Masterpiece. 10/10.

Smelled this at an airport, had the fragrance I brought thrown away because of airline restrictions. I needed a new scent for my trip and must’ve smelled at least 100 different fragrances that I had never smelled before. Upon first sniff I was immediately drawn in, and even though the climate wasn’t right for this type of scent I still loved it. Maybe I’m just partial to woody and vanillic type scents but even still I knew I had to have this in my collection and I knew this was special. Unfortunately it’s discontinued now and it pains me because I had only owned this for a few months before the rumors started popping up. I WILL buy a few backup bottles of this while I’m still able to

Words are not enough to describe how amazing this fragrance is. It's the perfect balance of sweetness and spiciness with a amazing touch of suede. It's a little bit creamy but at the same time powdery... It's has everything just in the correct amount. In my skin last over 24 hours and in the first 10 projects just in the right amount, not invasive but also not faint at all. I reserve this fragrance for very important/intimate events and today at day I never find any other fragrance like this. There's no clones or similar, this is just unique. Completely in love with this scent and I'd like to keep this scent with me forever. In my opinion this is a 9.5/10.

Armani Code Absolu 5/25/24 I always think this will be too sweet...but it NEVER is. Lasts 10+ hours. Moderate projection. Masculine. Versatile. Fall, Winter, and Spring any time. Summer...climate controlled office only. A little synthetic, but acceptable. Good for cloudy days (plenty here in NJ). Has mass appeal. And women adore the smell. This is in my top 10 of my collection of 60+ fragrances. And it competes well with the niche scents too. This hobby truly rewards those that jump on the first-run (first formulation) GREAT colognes that are sold. When they are discontinued, or thinned-out from reformulations, this hobby will leave you jaded.

Less boozy version of the Profumo, much prefer the Absolu, citrusy powdery opening with a lovely smells of vanilla at the drydown. The more I smell it, the less powdery it gets, or maybe it just me idk. No complain about the performance (10h on skin) but the projection become weak after couple of hours or I just basically gone noseblind (?) Nonetheless, still love this fragrance, heard it's discontinued which is sad but, I picked it up the tester for $42 which is fantastic. Will cherish this bottle for as long as possible or even seek for another/the clone.

I blind bought this back when Armani had a great sale in October and it’s grown on me heavily since then. I initially thought it was pretty good but now to me it’s a must have in my collection. Saddened that Armani has discontinued this since they’re making way for their new line. I only hope that they replicate it in their new bottle style. Until then I’ll probably some backup bottles one of these days to last me. Even though I have a big collection of over 100 frags I put a big dent in this one this winter and it got me lots of compliments.

insanely good offering from armani. my most favorite of the whole line the opening is slightly fresh green apple madrin that goes away fast then it hits you with a strong suede leather vanilla nutmeg combo that constantly pushes hard with no end to it along side a creamy tonka. you will get noticed with this. had some over the top compliments with it. and i agree it is that good. it is sweet but not over the edge of being annoying. great performance and projection. don't overspray it really doesn't need it.

If you say something bad about this fragrance Mike Tyson and Nurmagomedov will teleport to your location and beat the living Axe Body Spray out of You Once my AAA Duracel battery died, but one wet sneeze from the atomizer of Code Absolu turned it into a Tesla Model S Plaid Yes this bottle has a weird shape, but the sharp edges really made a nice dent on the burglar's head If my next girl doesn't like this Code, she will be discontinued from my life just like this fragrance Spectacular creation !

I personally get on top the clean, fresh linen with vanilla up front. If I push my nose into my arm I get more of the spiciness up close. It seems to start more powdery with me. I don’t pick up much apple notes at first but more of an “overall” apple scent that comes with the blend of the powder, vanilla and nutmeg. I really like this fragrance and would give it a 9/10. I imagine it would layer VERY well with a Layton or other less powdery frag. Perfect scent in my opinion and very versatile.

My favourite vanilla fragrance. If I don't have Givenchy Gentleman Boisee on, Ive most likely got this on. It smells amazing, it lasts (even though after a bit, it smells faint but due to noseblind) and it even gathers many compliments. It's a shame that the two best from the line (This and Profumo) are mainly cold weather scents, as I wish use them all year round, with it being too cloying in the heat. Another 10/10 have a 200ml unopened bottle available if anyones interested. EU

Been loving this one since I smelled it in Dillard's. I knew I had to have it and once I did, I got another bottle before there were any rumors of discontinuation. Once I heard about it being discontinued I got another bottle.(200ml) I might even get one more, I know that my local Sephora has some in stock even though it says it isn't available online. Long way to say this is a masterpiece! The Code line is great, but this is the only one I own or needed to own.

Are they srsly pulling their best fragrance? Uh I think I give up on fragrances. This is probably in my top 10 ever. A close to perfect blend plus literal beast performance. I think just about every great designer frag done post 2000 has been either pulled or reformed now. Do every release have to sell like Acqua di Gio to secure its place? Because that will not happen with this tempo of releases right now, people get confused and brand loyalty is lost.

One of the best designer vanilla fragrances, and arguably the best. Also a creamy tonka and a smooth suede at the base is a killer combination. Performance is really strong off my skin 10 hours longevity with strong protection in the first two hours and medium in the second two hours and becomes a skin scent after that. Get it while you can Edit: if you have azzaro the most wanted parfum try layering it with code absolu they are phenomenal together.

This & jpg lmlp are the ultimate date night frags! Code Absolu for me is the perfect frag for adults (40+) who wants a date night frag with a playful & juvenile touch. Ideal for casual dinner dates then partying afterwards. Not my go-to for upscale dinner dates since i prefer soft projecting frags for such since this is quite playful, but could also work, just not my first option. All in all, for me this is a keeper & frag for life. 10/10 indeed!

Awesome, sweet vanilla scent. A bit overpowering when first applied but turns into more of a skin scent after about an hour or two. Wish it projected for a bit longer but still a really nice scent and I can smell it on my skin 10+ hrs later. Perfect for fall, winter and date nights. Smells amazing! Seems like Armani might be discontinuing this soon so if you can get your hands on a bottle for under retail I would recommend picking one up!

One of my absolute favorite designer fragrances, I will always have a soft spot for it. Powdery, creamy, sweet, smooth, and classy. Amazing fruity and slightly floral (orange blossom) opening. Becomes a tonka-vanilla-suede bomb when it dries down. Definitely for the colder months of the year - late fall and winter. Occasion-wise, I think it is very versatile. I could wear it both for work and for evening events. 8/10.

A relatively masculine soft sweet vanilla fragrance that is sooo easy to adore. The scent is also interesting because of the “alluring” aspect because of the suede and rum. I prefer this over more recent and readily available designer fragrances. It’s also a part of my Top 10 designers as of the moment. I don’t always get to wear this, but I am so glad I blind bought when I had the opportunity to get a 110ml

This is big wow! A vanilla bomb that smells seductive. I own this and the gold edition, both are great and different, if you like the vanilla note buy. Scent 10/10 Sillage 9/10 Projection 9/10 Longevity 10/10 Versatilely 6/10 Packaging 10/10 Value 9/10 Seasons I would wear Autumn and winter. In the UK, on a really cool Spring day or night I would wear this less sprays. One word to describe this - Seductive

Similar to many. When I first sprayed it on my wrist, it instantly reminded me to other vanilla fragrances I already owned: Halloween Man Shot, Ferragamo Uomo Signature, 1 Million Elixir, Le Male, Invictus flankers, and the list keep growing. It smells good and performs well, but in the air they are all very similar... such a massive redundancy (blind buy victim, sigh...). No regret it got discontinued.

Not really sure what Onenutwarrior's point is, Harmony Code Absolute is nowhere close to Armani. About 20% similar in scent but like every other cheap clone it is a synthetic chemical mess that doesn't smell like it should even be applied to your body. These clone guys really need to stop gaslighting themselves. I loved Code Absolu and found Harmony Code absolutely repulsive and burnt smelling.

Magic in a bottle. Simply, one of my favorite things to smell, ever. I picked up multiple bottles before it being discontinued. I have seen crazy prices being asked for this and I still wouldn't sell what I have. Youtubers say the new clone is very close, I may try it one day, but I just happen to have enough of the real thing to last the rest of my life. Absolu Gold is incredible too!

This stuff is absolutely beautiful and probably my favorite vanilla forward scent. Vanilla is the star of the show but I love the slight zest and suede combo playing off of it. I have about 7.5 oz left between 3 bottles that I'll cherish for quite some time. Get it while you can and look for deals while they last. It's an easy 10/10 for me plus the wife really likes it as well 🤓

First time I felt like I needed to do a review on a fragrance, first time I smelt it I thought it was medicinal and nasty. About a year later I bought a bottle which basically felt like a blind buy, and fell in love. No other fragrance does a sweet soothing vanilla like this does, slightly powdery but the vanilla carries hard. Possibly my top 2 favorite fragrances on my shelve.

The BEST always get discontinued. This was a diamond. Best designer vanilla fragrance I have ever put my nose to bar none. Fantastic longevity, sillage and over all performance. This belongs in a Fragrance Hall of Fame. Amazing and beautiful. Fragrance World makes a clone called Harmony Code Absolute EDP. I haven't tried it yet but good to know the legend lives on.

Fresh opening yet you still get that sweetness and the dry down is amazing. After that freshness ends, i can smell the vanilla and tonka bean that just gives me rich and boozy vanilla smell (quite unique to me). Sillage and Performance is amazing and the Longevity is very good on my skin, exactly 10,5 hours until it completely disappear. Lasts 3-4 days on my shirt.

At first, I thought it was too sweet, which I believed was due to my using it on a small surface area, causing the scent to be overwhelming. However, after using it at an evening concert, I came to appreciate its quality. The fragrance offers sweet, apple notes, an air of sophistication, and a touch of luxury. I would say it's slightly better than Versace Eros.

Code Absolu is Honestly one of the most beautiful fragrances ever made. I started collecting fragrances about 3 years ago and since then I’ve collected about 70 fragrances and this one is easily on my top 10. As soon as I heard it was discontinued I purchased 3 more bottles. Get it while you can, even paying 10-20 extra dollars for this is worth it.

Green apple + Vanilla + Tonka , are well blended and give me attractive, elegant vibes . Its so versatile, not only winter or autumn, but also at summer nights , will be suitable. Save blind buy , and regarding performance is quite okay .. yet not beast one. Nowadays its price not decent like before , but its really deserve to be in my collection.

I bought a dupe of it which smelled like a store for nuts, green citrus and suede and wasnt really well blended. But then i couldn't stop thinking about it and figured id blind buy the original. I got 30ml of it (lucky since its discontinued) and MAN that is a damn good fragrance. I will look into getting a full bottle, because it is worth it.

This gets you more compliments than every nisch fragrance on the market trust me, speaking from experience. I have all the community classics from the nisch realm and yet this is the fragrance that gets me the most compliments everytime everywhere i go. 3-4 sprays and you get monster performance and great attention

This isn’t even in the same realm as Layton or VUI.. completely different scents but I’d put them all on a similar rating level and I guess you could say they could all be used for similar times and places... I.e. signature scent worthy if not over sprayed as they’re all on the stronger/darker sides of things

I am not sure why this gem was discontinued. Its a masterpiece! I got 9+ hours with 4 hours of projecting with 6 sprays. I am on the hunt for a legit 200ml bottle.i got 10ml decants of all of the Codes and started with this one. I have no doubt the others will be a disappointment in the performance category.

Very sexy & seductive smell I'm getting lot of compliments.... performance & longevity is excellent it is definitely worth buying a whole bottle .....I can see lot of jealous people 🤪 spreading wrong information about this fragrance but guys don't u know by now it is already Hit & out of stock in many market

All I have to say at this time since I'm still testing it, is the performance is crazy, especially the sillage. You get that Code DNA from a few feet away, and closer up some of the apple and orange blossom peeks through. Wonderful fragrance and likely worth discontinued prices if you dig the scent.

A more versatile JPG elixir, smells great for 5-7hrs depending on the weather. Definitely lasts too I wish this wasn’t discontinued so you could pick it up for a decent price but the code DNA lives on in the slightly less vanilla EDP so I guess after we run through this we head straight to that lol

A veryyyyyyyyy VERYYYYYYY good perfume from Giorgio Armani. Originally came from the giftbox called Armani Code Absolu with a body wash shampoo and aftershave lotion. Its very versatile and smells amazing. Its sweetness and powderiness its expertly combined. Too bad they dont produce it anymore.
