Exotic Heritage Pour Homme

If you go into this looking for an Armani Code dupe, don't. Despite not being an AC dupe, it's still a classy and manly fragrance, as it comes across as a much more masculine and sophisticated take on the bubble gum profile by subbing the powdery confectionary aspect with a slightly more musky vibe. Imagine Lattafa Silver Ramz toned down and more focused on the dry down. It gets slightly soapy with a musky sweetness as it evolves. It's not a sugary sweetness but, rather, it's a subtle mature sweetness allowing it to flirt with being a subdued gourmand type fragrance. Over time, it bends towards being a little more woody and tonka. If anything, this has more in common with Ramz Silver mixed with Banana Republic's Tobacco and Tonka Bean than it does Armani Code. I got it after hearing the AC comparisons. But that went away quick as soon as it hit the air. Even after realizing it wasn't a AC dupe, I really like it. But it's easy to see how others would be put off by the fact it isn't. When your mind and nose are anticipating AC and you get this, it would frustrate for most people with such an anticipation. Hopefully, those who were frustrated will revisit it and give it a more objective chance. It's a classier fragrance than those I compared it to but, conservatively so. After sitting a couple weeks, it's also smoother than it was when I first purchased it. I did give it a wear to work and it held up for the whole 8 hour shift. I kept getting whiffs of it now and then during the whole shift. It's not a beast mode fragrance. But it has some flex. Now, for the most part, I would say this leans towards the over thirty crown. However, college aged guys could still pull it off as a date, impress her parents or special event scent. For the rest of us, this is a great choice for being a weekend night or date fragrance year around. But I really get autumn/fall and cooler rainy day vibes from this one. The presentation is impressive. I'm not a presentation guy but, I have to admit, this was really nice. This would make a pretty nice gift.

I have no idea what smell is this but i do know it is not dupe OG Armani Code, not even close. It is a really good scent, good projection and above average longevity. Lovely stuff and class presentation. Im gonna macerate if it gets closer to Armani Code.

Turn down the bubblegum sweetness of Invictus and make it more woody. Feels like a more grown up version of that scent profile. Good stuff, I like it right out of the box. Edit: I wish the opening lasted longer. It's so good! The sweetness faded about an hour in and it gets woody which is just ok to me. Doesn't smell anything like my Code Edt so I don't know where that comparison came from

The fragrance has a poor sillage but it has a good smell

OMG, not worth it. Presentation is 5 star but scent is nothing for me. Sweet powdery vanila cinemon and some loation smell wierd maybe get better in time but right now is really wierd scent. nothing common with armani code.
