Armani Code Le Parfum

A HG evening fragrance for those whose own chemistry is able to hande it. It is so dark, smokey and spicey, that even 10pm seems like too early a time to wear it! I bought it unsniffed on ebay in a pure perfume version (Le parfum), since I am insatiable when it comes to concentrates and my skin eats up EDTs in the first few minutes entirely, leaving not a single whiff left to enjoy! :( This one literally knocked me off my feet: it is SO STRONG I had to sit down, and really this should come with a sign " fasten up your seatbelt before use" note! A mean headache-inducing note is the first one to pop out, and I was almost devastated, but, knowing how scents change on the drydown, I walked around the room gasping for air to survive the initial blow to my olfactory senses, and it actually paid off, big time. My sincerest advice to all who come in touch with this substance: go VERY VERY VERY easy, unlike with any other frag before! It is a twin of dior addict in a way, but the addict's smoke dissolves faster, this one, however, comes to stay! I can compare its nuclear force only to the vintage extrait version of Poison: it is sometimes almost enough to just stand next to it! Pepper, pepper and once again pepper in this dense sweet brew, and the sweetness comes out very unexpectedly for me after the initial spray's demons finally evaporate. I cannot describe the individual notes in this one, because it ́is so smokey, all I can say - very floral, with pepper on steroids, a lot of burnt wood, inflamed rum and boiling liquid brown sugar there, smoke all over the place. The main bouquet is identical to JPG Classique, but Armani took it to the whole new level and gave it a personality. I am using at the moment Poeme as my going-out frag, but I am so ready to come back to wearing edgier stuff, and 15ml of the A-Code's pure perfume will probably last me a lifetime, since 2 dabs with the bottlestop on the wrists or on the neck close to the ears is all that mankind can possibly handle!

Powdery, sweet and extremely boring fragrance. Smells very similar to “Noir” by Bath & Body Works...

Armani code is too strong that made me headache. But the long lasting power is great. Sexy, elegan but just not my type.

From the first time i saw this fragrance, i already seducted by the bottle, so elegant, dark, misterious, definitely sexy, i'm almost sure this fragrance has sensual character, when i try for first spray, i was surprise, this fragrance is not dark and dizzi smell as usuall "black" colour fragrance i can smell clear orange blossom and smooth jasmine which end up a very nice rose and vanilla scents (yup, not in ingredients, but i feel i smell vanilla a little bit) This fragrance can last for hours, event after i wash my hands the scents still there, wooww....so if you dont want to be noticed, just spray one or two, it enough to make you smell good for whole day. so, i think this wasnt a "seduction" fragrance i might say this one is chic and sophisticated, as the ad try to say, "luxury" might the right word.

BEAUTIFUL! I am so lucky to have managed to get a full new bottle from Germany at a reasonable price! I own already Armani Code l'Elixir and the original Armani Code. I am a fan, as you can tell. Armani Code le Parfum is extremely similar to l'Elixir, but interestingly, softer. It is warm and sweet, without being too sweet (thanks to the ginger and pear). It is sensual and very feminine. But honestly, no more powerful than the Elixir. Longevity: 5 hours, good projection. I am just in love and have been looking for a bottle for over a year! I got probably one of last bottle on earth! Soooo happy! :)
