Giorgio Armani Code Eau De Toilette 50ml Spray

Giorgio Armani Code Eau de Toilette 50ml is one of the iconic men's fragrances of the 21st century — composed by Antoine Lie and launched in 2004. The original Armani Code is a smooth oriental-spicy fougère, opening on bergamot and lemon, building through star anise, leather and guaiac wood, and drying down on creamy tonka bean and tobacco.

Who it's for

Best for men who like sleek, slightly sweet oriental-spicy perfumery with a smoky-leathery edge — natural territory for fans of Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Mâle or Bvlgari Aqva Pour Homme. The tonka-and-leather drydown gives it autumn-and-winter character with serious presence; the bergamot-and-lemon opening keeps it lifted. A natural choice for evenings, dates and special occasions.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck and the base of the throat — from around 15 cm away. As an Eau de Toilette built on a tonka-and-tobacco base, expect strong projection in the first one to two hours and a soft, creamy-leather skin scent for around six to eight hours total.
