Armani Code Sheer

Armani Code Sheer is actually the Eau de Toilette, for all those like me who were confused by the name. However, this version is reaaaaaally "sheer"!..true to its name. On me, Code Sheer is almost all citrus from start to finish. Citrus, and citrus, and then again citrus!.. It reminds me a lot of Chanel Chance Fraiche, minus the longevity and sillage (very average in Sheer). To my nose, this lacks the sensuality and warmth so noticeable in Code EDP. It sorely lacks those sexy notes that make Code EDP so voluptuous!...I'm not one who goes for strong, heavy perfumes, but Code EDP has a creaminess and a sillage that are captivating IMO. Compared side by side, Code EDP is sexy, teasing,fresh and creamy at the same time, while Sheer is green, nice, citrus scent. Can easily be a good summer option for many I'm sure, but not quite for me.

I loved this and wore it all the time during the summer or 2008. Almost impossible to find now with an affordable price. I hate it when my favorite scents get discontinued.

i love it but i m having a hell of a time finding it. have looked for it in different cities but no one has the sheer code. :(

Code for today is perfect choice and today is raining. I was pleased with the top notes that I thought I would put it on my wishlist to pickle there for a while, unfortunately I can't make my mind. So, the top notes are great- they are gingery on me and somehow warming and pleasant in this cold day. The middle is more about orange blossom- really orangey a bit sweet, reminds me perfume my mum had when I was little. It's quite airy- you can feel it around you, but when I try to sniff direcly from my wrist I can't feel almost anything, but it's still there. I will try Code EdP as well to make descisions which one I like better.

I've never been a fan of the EDP, while I really liked the EDT, which had a different formulation, far more delicate and poetic. I used to work in a perfumery shop when it was still available, and I recommended it a lot to all the guys willing to make the perfect gift to their shy and romantic girlfriends.
