Black Sun

So I made a 100 ml blindbuy after researching this juice for years. Was it successful? Find out below. The thing is, I am in mourning after Armani Code went through one of the biggest reformulations I have ever seen. It went from being a rich and creamy blend, perfectly balanced between sweetness and spice. Suited for young and old gentlemen who wants alluring masspleaser that goes perfectly in any formal or semiformal occasion, as well as a night out. Why am I speaking about another fume? Obviously, this is recognized as a close cousin to Code. And after Code went extinct by Armani doing the old cashgrab of watering down a bestseller to introduce a stronger version of it, I just had to find a substitute since I loved the original so much. The new one is like an aqua version of the original(!). I am not exaggerating. And I am sad to see folks noses not picking up on this. -I have done countless comparisons with my vintage code juice to establish this reformulation- What to do then? Well, I have tried many perfumes that people said were similar to code but to my dismay, there were not. Mostly they lack the creaminess. Zegna is not at all the same feel. To be honest, neither is this a perfect replica. Original Code is still the king. BUT, this is the closest I have smelled since the original. I have learned that perfumers often re-use accords and themes in their creations, just like other artists. So if you want Code, you should look into who did the original. Salvador Dali Black Sun smells divine to me. It is about 85-90 % vintage Code, and I can live with that. ItS close enough to be percieved as Code, it retains the spirit of the original. I love the bottle and name too. Price is great so I can recommend this to people who wants to relive the common smells of guys in a night club 2004-2007. Very alluring and scent.

I recently discovered Armani Code just blindly spraying something on my wrist at the mall. Then I walked around for 2 hours saying, "That smells fantastic". I think it is a versatile day/night, winter/summer fragrance and I bought a 10ml sample. I'm a bit disappointed with the longevity but I just reapply. Reviews and internet readings suggested that Black Sun is a similar product at a bargain price so I made a purchase. Now I sit here typing this with Black Sun on my left forearm and AC on my right, or is it the other way around. I can't tell but they both smell fantastic. Both are a wear on your day off, or wear at work, or in the evening, anytime of day or year home run. Black sun is the value of the 2 so that's what I'll wear. Update- The next morning, AC is all gone, Black Sun still hanging in there 12 hours later.

On the floor of a forest you can experience the power of the sun even though the canopy shields its rays. Nature provides an environment for mysterious creation. The sun warms resins and ferns and herbaceous growth. A place of tranquillity. A place to energize with the power of Black Sun.

This is really nice dry powder vanilla, very close to armani code, longevity is decent, sillage is ok. Experimented a bit today, put on black soul imperial by ted lapidus, and then layered black sun on top...created a beautiful fresh mint light chocolate 🤗

Why compare this fragrance to something as base as Armani Code? If you wear Salvador Dali Black Sun you will stand out from a lot of other men who will only wear what fashion dictates. Enjoy.
