Armani Code Giorgio Armani 2021 Eau de Parfum

and when I came back, I couldn’t say no... they’re really pushing this one hard at Dillard’s, so expect this one to become one you get wafts of regularly...

It’s got a smoky sweetness to it, and it’s quite intoxicating. I personally don’t get much of the citrus in the opening... it’s actually rather quiet on my skin... not much as far as projection and sillage goes... maybe a soft 2ft radius on the projection diameter, and the trail it leaves is rather discrete... longevity wise, it’s a matter of “perspective”... i.e. if you judge by projection/sillage, longevity is maybe 3-4 hours... however, if you count the total time that it’s perceivable on your skin, it’s an easy 10+ hours...

I personally get an almost rubbery feeling, very smoky, very sweet aroma.... imagine the scent you’d get if someone exploded an M80 in a box of really wet, really sticky Tonka beans... that’s how it hits me... an almost “gunpowder smoke mixed with Tonka/vanilla”... I like it, but it’s very hard to describe...

I’m gonna give it a few more tries, and I’ll try to be back with a more “in depth” description... as of now, however... this is the best I can do... apologies

Update 4/9/2021:
After giving it a few more tries, I’ve noticed that the longevity I personally get is maxing out at about 6 hours or so, and the projection/sillage is a much softer, closer bubble than I originally perceived as well. I still think it’s a great scent; it’s just not a big performer.

The vibe I get from it is a watered down, less sweet, and slightly smokey feeling version of its older brother named Parfumo.
