A sweet bomb
This one, in my opinion, is the best performer in the Code line. The tonka blast is huge, and the projection is MONSTROUS for the first 2 hours or so. It easily gives a 4ft radius, and the sillage lingers for quite a while, letting everyone know where YOU have been. The longevity I get is roughly 6-8 hours.

This is definitely NOT a warm weather fragrance, and as you see below, it doesn’t appeal to everyone.

My wife loves this one though, and every time I sport it, she’s always commenting, so that’s all that really matters to me.

If you don’t want one that’s quite as loud and sweet, try the new EDP, but for me, this is the winner.

Sexxy Beast
This might be one of my best blind buys ever, still has the DNA of the original Armani Code but this is so much better.....This Spicy Oriental Woody Concoction is perfect for cold evenings.....winter or fall....you have your nice jacket on and youre about to go out on a date or out on the town with your buddies.....I personally like fragrances that perform really well and this definitely enters the realms of beast mode for me, it projects pretty well for about 3 - 4 hours...and I can still smell this on me 12+ hours after I put it on....

The epitome of Armani Code
This is the best flanker maybe even best then Armani Code itself, creamy, sweet, spicy, seductive and it makes me happy whenever i sniff it, this is a perfect scent indeed, if i have a top 5 winter perfumes this one will be among them, and sure thing won't be my last bottle.

Armani Profumo the best perfume
In general it is the best! It was my first signature perfume and I loved it. It lasts very long, some clothes might smell for a week, plus it’s radius is really big, just a few sprays and the whole room smells. The smell is woody and warm, like Christmas night with friends or an industrial leather home. The amber debuts right when you put it on. It’s a very nice option for signature fragrance and if you are a lover of woody and sweet notes it’s your best option. A 4,9 out of 5.

One I'll truly miss
Oh I'm really gonna miss this one. My 20's scent for nights out, and the only bottle I've bought 3 times.

Definetly a Tonka powerhouse. It has a kind of bubbly/effervescent feel to my nose. You can feel the spices, an apple similar to the one we see on Eros... Then it starts to warm up with its amber, its leather, and a really pleasant aromatic lavender. A bit more sweet than the Absolu.

IMO you can wear this anytime but office and summer days. A few number sprays can do the trick if it's warm, but it is more suitable for the cold.

Longevity and sillage are average at best sadly unless oversprayed, but it gets the job done.

Sadly this one + the Absolu will be discontinued, so get one if you find it before it dissapears. Really hopping for Armani to take it back into the stores.

If you want something "similar" and cheap, Zara has a decent clone of this one: Extreme 9.0

Warm, deep, spicy , sexy: a true fall-winter delight ! I prefer it to the feminine version, which is too bitter for me.
Love at first smell!

I love the cola/root beer vibe this gives off. Personally one of my favorite scents.

The smell is not bad but... This is just too much. Too strong. Too loud and invasive. Headache. Almost toxic. Next

It's very dark, cheesy, with a Big Babol gum effect at the top. A riot of lavender, tonka, balmy cardamom and mushy orange blossom. Love it.

Similar to Code Absolu but opens with a fizzy Coke accord. The leather is darker and more prominent than the suede of Absolu.

Just as nauseating as ADG Profumo. The domain in which this sits is not for me.

Fresh and spicy opening with a sweet and delicious dry down with a mix of tonka, amber and leather. Very sweet but very masculine as well
