Armani Code Luna

I love, love, LOVE Luna! It's the first perfume my boyfriend bought me (though I chose it myself) and because of that it has sentimental value to me too. Nevertheless, I still think it's a heavenly scent! I am not familiar with other fragrances of the Armani Code line. What caught my attention, was the name. I'm hugely interested in everything that has moon in it (I have a huge lemming for Ghost Deep Night because of the bottle, although I don't even know what it smells like) and so Luna was appealing to me from the start. I just think the whole concept is beautiful. Lucky me, the smell is also wonderful. I mostly get vanilla and leather and that suits my personality perfectly. At first it's citrusy though, but turns fast into this edible deliciousness. Luna lifts my spirits every time I smell it and for that I will love her for all eternity. I have to add that the longevity is amazing! It has been now 8 hours and it's still going. Sillage is from medium to heavy. Great quality!

Unique! My pre-schooler son liked the scent and said it smells like cola. Thanks for the idea, son -- now I know why it smells so familiar, but not as a perfume! To me though, it's more of a sarsaparilla than a cola smell, and I love it! If that is what the fantasy note mirabilis smells like, then it's pretty intense in this. I was reminded of Burberry Sport although they do not smell alike -- that must be their common note petitgrain. I got osmanthus after 4 hours, faintly; which is good, as I'm not very fond of that note which is quite cloying in Flora By Gucci. I picked up a hint of leather at 5 hours and a smooth vanilla drydown follows. I want me one!

Luna is the original codes more powdery sister with a less intense/ dominating scent. However, I like this ne just as much.. one note I really detect on my skin is the leathery twang which hides underneath the vanilla, but every now and then given the right conditions it appears and can actually evaporate the vanilla and then exaggerate the orange. the blend of this is really interesting and ever changing also, its only available in EDT which its kinda weird, I can imagine that as an EDP it might be too strong

Armani Code Luna is a big surprise for me. I expected very sweet vanilla scent without any sense of originality, just one more variation of original Code fragrance - I don ́t really like very sweet scents at all, so I thought I will be dissapointed but it wasn ́t what happened! Luna is magical, soft, it ́s like a beautiful breeze with vanilla and orange blossom and is not very sweet in my opinion. Longevity is 4-6 hours on my skin, I think it is ok according to the fact that it is eau de toilette. I love it!

Ordered a bottle after trying out a tester. Must be different chemistry on people, because the smell was still going strong after around 7 hrs for me. Reminded me a little of surgical spirits...strange sweet smell when you used to get ears pierced...have no idea what that was but I'm still very drawn to it. like nothing I've smelled of late...very unusual for me to like something...Ive only been trying to find the perfect perfume since I discovered Angel as a teen !

Thanks to Miss Mills for the sample of this! At first spray I do get some similarities with my Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle but this is fleeting, maybe it's the orange blossom? Is much lighter and sheer which is good for me because sometimes the poison is too heavy for me, I usually reserve that for night time. It has a nice warm citrusy vanilla base and it's available at a good price, I may purchase a FB soon, maybe a present from Santa?

This is a very sweet scent but I wouldn't say it's cloying. I quite like it and somehow it reminds me of root beer. I'm not sure if there's anybody out there who thinks the same. Please let me know if you do, just so I know It's not just me. :D Both the sillage and lasting power of this perfume are moderate. Therefore, I think it's pretty suitable for work as it won't offend anyone's olfactory space.

I tried both the EDP and luna yesterday ,, each one on a hand .. luna is more wearable,, super delicious and pleasant ,, nothing mysterious or complicated .. you can wear it at morning .. well balanced between the citrus & the sweetness .. I love it .. average sillage & longevity .. But the price is too much for what it give .. I agree with others .. In one word: pleasant :)

So I had this memory of really loving Armani Code, and I do like it. But after I bought a bottle it wasn't how I had remembered exactly. Maybe my tastes have changed. I picked up a sample of Luna at the same time and now I regret not getting this instead. I think I'm going to test out Sephora's return policy.

i like this better than the original one which gives me big migraine. it is not as warm as the original, but more interesting. it has a masculine touch, which is not bad! i think it is more of a skin scent, very pleasant as i think it wont offend anyone around u. lasting power is ok.

It is nice, a bit lighter and kind of chillier than the original, but as it is a EdT it doesn't last that long on me as the original in EdP. The original is still my favourite of these two, but I love this new one too. I don't get any pear or apple, I think.

I dont like the original at all - too sweet wit the Combo honig + vanilla. but I adore this Version!! fresh (i dont get much vanilla in this) with very nice orange blossom and and bitter orange which makes it edgy. love especially for spring/day

I just got is blindly, but I think it is nice,very intimate scent, soft and not loud, starts with citric linear cologne smell, then dries down close to the skin with soft floral-soapy- citrus smell. doesn’t remain the original at all.

i personally really like this perfume. i feel like a piece of art when i wear it. its basically the sweeter and lighter version of armani code femme, but i like this one better. smells like root beer and coke to me.

more i ware the Luna, more I like it, it should be called Skin, such close and intimate smell, so soft and pretty, undiscovered gem with great longevity.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I couldn't find the page for Armani Code Luna Eau Sensuelle on this site; can anyone help me? :)

Tried it yesterday and bought it today. I cannot imagine a sexier yet fresher scent. 10/10

Bought it almost 1 year ago but I'm wearing it for the first time tonight. Wonderful!

This is my signature, It’s heaven in a bottle.

Armani Code Luna retains the DNA of the pillar fragrance, Armani Code. In the opening the citrus is more zest/rind than juice. It has a refreshing bitterness that makes it easy to wear in hot weather. The orange blossom is the star of the show, just like in the original and is present throughout the wear of the fragrance. As it dries down a soft sweetness develops with a light and airy vanilla rather than the heavier, stickier vanilla and honey from the original. I really enjoy this fragrance, though it's a strong like rather than a love. There is a subtle sensuality to this fragrance and I wear this most as a summer night time fragrance. Though it's not too bold and and in your face to wear anytime. Much like the original Code EDP (current formulation) the performance is a bit disappointing. It starts very promising. For about an hour I can easily smell it around myself and it projects just a little ouside of arms reach. It then settles and stays pretty close to the body and by 4-5 hours it's undetectable. It doesn't really last any longer on clothes. Though this fragrance has been discontinued for a while, a few discounters still have bottles available for reasonable prices. Though the performance is a little below average it still lasts long enough for an evening out to dinner and in that setting the minimal projection can be preferable. The frosted glass with the same bottle shape of the EDP is pretty and simple. I imagine it was even prettier when the juice was blue. The photos of Code Luna look like the bottle is frosted blue, but the juice has since aged to a pale yellow (thank you vanilla) and the bottle is clear frosted glass. The atomizer is pretty decent, about the quality I would expect in a designer fragrance. The name Luna suits the fragrance, it does make me think of a light, nighttime fragrance.

I LOVE the original, so having that one as a start, i have to say i was a little disappointed at first (i have this for quite some time), but after a while i liked for what it was, not for what i was expecting it to be. The initial blast is citrus punch (not a green citrus, but a sweet orange citrus). The bitter orange and the bergamot are all around you (the same we find in summer fragrances), but after a few minutes, the vanilla starts to show up, until it embraces everything. Although is citrus, is quite dark. I wouldn't recommend to wear it in hot days, cause the vanilla and the tonka bean becomes a little bit cloying. Is a fragrance based on its duality, i think. In one side, you have the versatility and the brightness of the fruits, and on the other, the darkness and mysteriousness of the vanilla and the tonka. Only two sides, not a very faceted scent. It settles in a soft flowery vanilla in my skin. I honestly don't get the woodiness or the leather. A very nice scent, but i wouldn't put under the Code name, cause i don't think it rises up to the original. Nothing special, but for all the vanilla lovers, worth to have it. Update: when i wear it in colder humid weather, the resemblance with the original is a little bigger than in other occasions.

With high hopes I sprayed it and made a long, disappointed face: It was so spicy. And I thought to myself: "Great, another swap bottle." But wait, wait! I started blow drying my hair and realized that the scent became way sweeter and smoother. The touch of vanilla made it's way through (faintly but so deliciously!) Gave it another 20 minutes, and it unfolded its true beauty, very pleasant. Not as dramatic as I like my frags, but that makes it a great daytime eau de toilette with a hint of vanilla. It stays very close to the skin, so close, that I do not get any of its glory unless I bury my face into my wrist. I would love just a bit more silage and projection. I am a douser by nature, but I think this baby needs more dousing than I even usually feel compelled to. So I will give it another spray round, and see how it develops. All in all it is lovely. Not even close to be one of my favs, but it will have a place in my life, and I will still enjoy it. Update: I wear it now for 3 hours and like it WAY better than this morning. Still poor silage and projection, but the scent itself is getting better and better as time progresses, and as tender as the scent is, it lingers on nicely for many hours.

Oh joy, I have gotten to test this one today! Let me first say, I'm not a complete horoscope-believer-fanatic, but I am a cancer and it seems that that silvery magic planet called the moon is attached to my sign. And yes, it does intrigue me. And yes, the whole Armani Code campaign attached this time to the Italian word for moon is mainly why I wanted to try this one so much! Now does Armani Code Luna suddenly smell a lot more ethereal, gravitating, magic, mysterious, serene, sensual, calm or cool (everything I associate with the moon really) than it's original, just because it has 'luna' in its name? Not really. But it does have a more 'sheer' opening, including de typical slightly masculine bergamot of Code after which it does get a bit sweeter towards the dry down with a veil of vanilla. It is less 'in your face' than the original Code; though the staying power is acceptable, it doesn't survive a wash. Now if you want a less aggressive version of Armani Code, this is very suitable for you, however don't expect any 'moonlight-magic' involved: it's just a pleasant fragrance, that's all :)

22. april 2012 Well, i like the bottle, it is sooo beautiful in real life pearly and magical. But the fragrance itself is boring and weak. No sillage, i have to smell it very close, no good lasting power, only about 4hrs on my skin and i don ́t have a problem with my skin "eating" perfumes. And it is heavily overpriced as well! Somehow it scent reminds me of an "Alien" but very weak one, very very light one. I don ́t like the pear in here, it really turns down the quality of this perfume IMO. It becomes "sleepy" (yes, somehow i get this strange association) and shallow. No leather for my nose here at all. This fragrance also doesn ́t develope, though i wanted it to, it just un-develope. The longer it satys on your skin the more boring and weaker it becomes. Very tuned-down one. And once again: too overpriced!

Lovely, lovely, lovely. I had the original Armani Code for quite a while but ended up swapping it when my collection grew and I found myself not reaching for it anymore, the jasmine became kind of poopy as my nose developed. Sadly. This, however, ticks my boxes. It is both super-citrusy and more vanillic than the original, this I find to be more lemony and the original more orange-y, for some reason. Probably the bergamot. As it dries down it starts resembling the original somewhat, but it still retains a character of its own, the orange flower adds just the tiniest hint of bubblegumminess. It even leans a bit sporty, I find, but I might be alone in thinking that. Either way, I think this is my favorite variant of Code.

Honestly, I didn't think I'd like it. I don't like the original Code - in fact, I dislike it enough to not be interested in its flankers much. But I got this one, and decided to give it a try. It was a nice surprise. It's a pleasant, warm and seductive scent. It's sweet, but in my opinion it's an alright amount of sweetness (mind you, my alright amount of sweetness may be a bit higher than most - I'm a huge fan of Love By Kilian which is extreme in its sweetness). Vanilla is balanced by pear, adorned with orange blossom and served with a little tonka bean. Nothing extraordinary, nothing mind-blowing, but definitely a very wearable and enjoyable scent. Sillage is moderate, so is longevity.

Armani Code Luna smells really European to me. If you ever have traveled in the Mediterranean, you've met her. She is a wealthy woman in her early forties. Italian. Maybe Greek. She wears designer heels and a slinky spaghetti strapped dress in midnight blue. Diamond earrings. A tan from lying on the sundeck on a yacht all day. Now she is walking the cobblestone streets of a picturesque mediterranean harbour town. It's evening and the air is warm and full of scents from the nightlife. She wears heavy perfume in the warm weather. But she can do that. She is powerful. Stereotypic perhaps, but I love it! I become her when I put this on. It smells like vacation and admiration.

EDIT: since purchasing I've been wearing everyday.. Even to the gym and bed.. Maybe I'm falling in LOVE! Still smell the vanilla after 2 hours of working out! :-) I really LIKE this scent... Reminds me very much of the original code, tho fresher and lighter. The opening is fresh citrus and the heart sweet and warm... The vanilla pod base really engages my nostrils.. More than any other scent I've had! It's almost powdery and almost animalic (leather notes). This scent is warm, comforting and sexy, simultaneously! Sillage and longevity are average. Got 50ml giftset for 17.50 so other comments about high rrp do not apply here!!! :-)

This is really pretty - light and delicate bergamot & orange blossom mingles with the vanilla base to create a light citrusy, yet warm fragrance. Very elegant. Will see how long it lasts on my skin - I like that despite being delicate, this has some oomph to it and hasn't disappeared but seems to be developing with some strength into a sensual blend reminiscent of Eau de Shalimar in that is has both citrus and vanilla working together in fine harmony. When both notes are present in a perfume, they often struggle for dominance (on my skin, anyway) but here they complement rather than compete. A very sensual skin scent...

I have this and like it very much, but I don't think I would buy it again. It's a perfectly nice everyday perfume I use often, but nothing very special in my opinion. Luna is a lighter and fresher version of Code. In the beginning it's fresh and cologne-ish with bitter citrus notes and orange flower. As it dries down, sweet delicious vanilla joins in and becomes the most dominant note, orange blossom being close second. I find it very suitable for daytime use in mild weather (spring, rainy summer days, warm autumn days), as it's not refreshing enough for hot weather and a bit light for cold weather or evening use.

Opens with a burst of sourness and then mellows into a vanilla-jasmine scent. A light hint of citrus is detectable as well. A note oddly sticks out, and I guess this is the work of the leather note. This is powdery, but not as much as Armani Code. Sillage is soft. I'm tempted to call this the weaker version of Armani Code but at the same time Code Luna has its own distinctiveness. For me, it is not my cup of tea because it smells so...subdued. I prefer the original Armani Code for women.

the original code,while i like it, it is only on others and for those a bit more mature? it doesnt agree with my chemistry... this i think is a bit more younger feelin to it... and blends well with me... kinda reminds me of my 'hugo deep red' idk why though it dont smell exactly the same... and though i cant say i'm in love with it,i adore the fact it that it last very long on me... and that, for me personally, not many perfumes can do...

In start the bitter Orange is very dominant. About 15 minutes later it becomes softer and the Vanilla shines thru. Very nice everyday-scent. Spray carefully or else ti will be a room-killer. Reminds me a little of Ange ou Demon. I början är den bittra Apelsinen ett faktum. Efter en kvart börjar Vaniljen att märkas. trevlig varje-dag-doft. Spreja lite annars blir det en rumsdödare. Påminner lite om Ange ou Demon.

I was very unsure of this purchase at first.. I liked the different citrus notes, but I was afraid it would be too much vanilla for me. However, the other scents compliment it so nicely that it turns out to be a great, sexy scent for an evening out. I even got a few compliments on it. It's definitely a unique scent, a great choice for those who feel that the original Code is too aggressive.

I love armani code but it's a very strong perfume. This is a beautiful day perfume I can wear without suffocating the people I work with. Still has that floral and spice to it but not too strong.. Nice to use on hot days too and not to cloying.. Sillage and longevity could be better but I just layer it with body lotion and seems to work better.. Wish it had the ginger in it though..

This is nice orange blossom scent. Powerful, but not too overwhelming. A strong feminine scent. Very similar to the original and the Ultimate version, so nothing new for me, actually. I believe that if you like the original, you'll also like this one. An evening scent which is perfect for winter!

At the beginning I thought I oversprayed it, I felt this is too much for office, I noticed extreemly sweetnes but citruses at the same time. Then about 2 hrs from spraying it almost.dissapeared. It stayed just nice sweet taste. Anyway, nice fragrance, but with those two extreemes just not for me.

If you were allowed eternal guilt-free no-consequences access to caramel-vanilla-raspberry-milkshakes, you would probably eventually reach the day where you would prefer a crisp gin and tonic. And on that day, spritz your wrists with this.

ORANGE CREAMSICLES. If you were to chill this it would be one of the most refreshing summer sweeties ever. Compliments galore today, Lasted a long time but kept applying because it’s soooo tasty.

I Love it! It ́s a sweet but fresh fruity citric fragrance that has personality, and it is soft and gentle at the same time. I elect it for using daytime and at summer nights. Good longevity ;)

It's nice but nothing special. I wouldn't bother it for huge Code fans as it's so light and nothing really like Code. I love Code, so was disappointed. I'd recommend it to fans of vanilla.

Quite airy for an oriental scent. I can't smell too much orient, to be honest. It is more like a breezy, delicate floral scent. Likeable and unobtrusive.

I have Armani Code EDP, I like it very much! But this sadly on my skin smells like rubber. :( But fragrance is good, if you like sweet, warm and honey.

this for me is very very similar to HP eau Sensuelle! Really just the same orangle blossom start with lots of vanilla! Not bad, but nothing special!

I tried it today, liking the notes. I've got a "scent a like " to eden Cacharel . I have Eden for years, and grew out of it .

It's odd to see a few reviews below say this is leaning masculine. I'm not getting masculine one bit on my skin! Personally, I'm so enamored with the original Code that Luna just comes off as a sweeter, watered down version of the OG. It would be better for summer, though; it's softer and sits closer to the skin. Luna is citrusy and there's definitely pear present in this flanker, which is interesting... it's just not my cup of tea, though. I'm barely getting much out of the base notes besides vanilla. Meh. I am happy to say I gave it a try, at least!

Luna opens with a refreshing burst of mint/bergamot, followed very quickly by an orangey, powdery floral that leans a little masculine. In the background of the fragrance, there is a very mild sweetness.

I was expected and excited very much about this fragrance. The name, the bottle and its featured my favorite notes. As the original code was really good and it's one of my top ten. But when I received from my friend as a gift. Luna, you're not for me. From first spray I know something not right to my nose. I found it very sharp, very powdery and vanilla in code luna quite artificial. To me is not as creamy and smooth as original code(like mostly Edt). I also got an instant headache that I never encountered in any perfumes. Even the very strong one like Poison and Chanel no.5 doesn't gave me this effect. The dries down was a lot better though. Almost the same as original code. In all its a good scent(still have Code signature). I appreciated comments here and I know many people would love this. But this one was the first scrubber I ever met.

Code Luna is VERY SWEET. I mostly get loads of vanilla. Under a very thick layer of sweetness there is a scent that resembles the original. Some orange and orange flower ... A new fruit: pear, is also noticeable. Only the beginning sparkles with citrus freshness and crispness, and some bitterness of orange flower and neroli. After a few minutes comes vanilla and ruins the fragrance for me. After that it stays linear. Like a flare, bright for a very short time. Staying power: over 5 hours. I'm trying to find a connection of the moon and a pile of vanilla. Well, maybe an association with white colour? To sum up: I'm disappointed. I expect it to be a marketing/advertising hit, but it's a really weak creation.

I got a sample of Armani Code Luna Eau sensuelle, which seems to not be listed seperately, but I‘m guessing has a slightly different formula. The first impression is heavy, not a summer scent and absolutely not what I expected from something called Luna. After a couple of minutes a strong, fake orange scent comes through on my skin, fading a bit soon after, but lingering as a faint, nauseating candy scent. I don‘t think at this point that I‘ll make it to the dry down stage. This one is a definitive no from me.
