Armani Code Summer Pour Femme 2011

A more grown up version of CK One. But the same summer freedom and sexiness I found in one when it came out. I bought this one the summer of 2012 and I do think is a spring-summer warm weather only fragrance, it's freshness, fruity flowery tropical beach feeling is awesome even here in north Europe. Looking forward to get my hands on one of this again before may!

Please, bring it back! It's an eau fraîche, so it's not meant to last long, but the fresh start and the sensual flowery scent that lasts on my skin were perfect on my skin. One of the few good fragrances with a cyclamen note. Recommended for summer nights. I really miss it.

This is a light, refreshing fruity and crisp cardamom scent. Opens up with a fresh citrus scent with hints of pears transformed into notes of cardamom, ginger and a hint of cinnamon. I can feel citrus and pear notes throughout the day mixed with the spicy notes. A light, fresh, crisp scent. The smell will disappear fairly quickly, about 2 hours but remains on your clothes all day. When I use it I get lots of compliments. I definitely think this is worth having, but if I had to choose between Armani Code Summer and Armani Code for Women, I would choose the latter. It's more powerful, more fruity, but not as crispy as Armani Code Summer, plus it lasts all day. Detta är en lätt uppfriskande fruktig och kardemummakrispig doft, tyvärr något vattnig. Öppnar upp med en fräsch citrusdoft tillsammans med inslag av päron som transformeras till toner av kardemumma, ingefära och en aning kanel. Jag kan känna citrus och päronnoter under hela dagen blandat med de kryddiga noterna. En lätt, fräsch, krispig doft. Doften försvinner ganska snabbt, ungefär efter 2 timmar men sitter kvar i kläderna hela dagen. En doft jag ofta får komplimanger för, när jag använder den. Jag tycker absolut denna är värd att ha men skulle jag välja mellan Armani Code Summer och Armani Code for Women skulle jag välja den senare. Den är kraftfullare, mer fruktig men inte lika krispig som Armani Code Summer och den håller hela dagen.

Oh my, this is almost an disappointment. It's definitely fresh and citrusy and perfect for the heat, but the quality is so poor! Summer version does not mean that you can just water down your fragrance and sell it as eau fraiche, mind you. First, very citrusy. Bitter orange really is bitter! Then the fragrance begins it journey into flowery-citrusy goodness, little by little. Drydown is the best part of the fragrance! But why, oh WHY does this last like only an hour? And why does it have to be so subtle? Really. Not even highest temperatures are an excuse to make this so poorly. Shame on you Armani, shame on you.

Not a bad summer scent if you don't mind some sweetness. The pear gives a delicious and refreshing fruity opening and I like that part the most. After that I get some sort of orange-ginger lemonade with some jasmin petals in it. If you want a slightly louder but cheaper version of this go for the limited summer 2011 edition of Flowerparty by Yves Rocher.
