Armani Code Ice

Found an unopened 2014 bottle from the back of my parents' cabinet that they had bought me a decade ago, but forgot to gift it. I didn't even know an "Ice" flanker of Code existed! To put it lightly: I'm in shock. I've always had a love-hate relationship with the Code line, so I wasn't expecting to be blown away, but boy was I wrong. To me Code Ice fixes everything that bugged me with the OG. It's a bit fresher, a bit more gingery and minty, evoking that cooling effect, while still preserving that powdery and creamy Code-y backbone that I love. While you can make the argument that there is no shortage of fresh shower gel scents, to me, Code Ice sets itself apart from the rest; maybe it's those buttery and powdery qualities that makes Code Ice more approachable, elegant, and not as aggressive as most of the scents in the same genre. So happy for the lucky incident. A true jackpot!

Take the original Code, and add and almost menthol feel to it. Add some citrus and lemons to the top. Code Ice. I think it smells pretty good. I was never crazy about the dark, woodsy smell of Armani Code, but I would wear this on the occasional summer night. I definitely smell this as a warm night frag. Or end of summer days, where the nights are chilly but the days are still warm. With one spray on my hand it project from my down by my hips, so it also has decent performance. Longevity I cannot yet say the same for. Really not bad. Doesn't deserve the hate. I think the mint and citrus notes may be giving off the impression of synthetic of "metallic" scents. I think it's okay though. If you like the original Code, you'll definitely like Ice

For me this is a great fragrance for the hot weather! I'm wearing this right now and it has a cooling feel without being too minty like a lot of Ice flankers out there. I think this is great for the gym and anything sporty. It also goes very well with a white shirt or lighter clothes. It just fits that type of visual aesthetic for me. I can see how someone would think this smells synthetic but to me this does not! This smells very pleasant and well blended. It is linear but in a good way because with a summer ice flanker you just want something simple that does the job anyway. This also has that clean Armani quality to it that I enjoy with their fragrances. For me this is fantastic! I give this a 91/100.

Wow, this is really beautiful! I'd almost say this is one of the best smelling fragrance in the whole line. The only drawback is performance. I have to put my nose on my arm to smell it. If there was a more powerful version then this would be perfect. I've noticed in the reviews that the older version seems to be the way to go, so perhaps there is hope for this fragrance after all... I would buy this, for sure. Maybe as I get more acquainted with it I may realize it's not so bad after all.

I dont care what any of the haters say, I love this scent. It's one of the handful of Armani scents I can stand. I find some of them have this really sweet note, too sweet. Obviously not the A D G's, but the codes etc. And I like sweet but not that kind of sweet. Oh yea, I also like that newish cedar one that vaguely reminds you of cedar. But that is sometimes how I want to be reminded of cedar, vaguely.
