Armani Code Giorgio Armani 2021 Eau de Parfum

When the first Armani Code was released, it was one of those fragrances that had an unmistakable and wonderful DNA for me.
When you smelled this DNA, you immediately knew it was Armani Code.
Worn and loved by many men (including me!!!), it did have slight weaknesses in the H/S back then...
But what you got after some time following the release, and still get today, was and is a disgrace.
A -it seems to me- reformulated Armani Code, which vanished after about 3 hours and was not noticed by anyone, not even by me as the wearer...
That’s why it was high time for this great fragrance and this wonderful DNA to get a new edition without any additional names like "Profumo," "Absolu," etc., because none of those flankers really appealed to me.
Overall, I just wanted my old Armani Code back, which I now even have improved! *__*
I would like to explain this to you here and try to describe the scent:

It starts with a beautiful combination of mandarin and lemon. I do not perceive the bergamot. Right away, there comes a certain "freshness" or "cleanliness," which clearly includes the heart notes of lavender and rosemary and harmonizes brilliantly.
Then it transitions into the base notes and becomes -unlike the original Code- deeper, more mature, and very sensual!
Here, the tonka bean and vanilla play the main role in an ideally balanced ratio, giving the fragrance a serious and profound existence.
What I find so great about this "new old" Code is that it holds onto the original DNA, and all individual notes from the top to the base are ALWAYS present, yet allow the other notes to take precedence when it’s their turn. I haven’t experienced that with other fragrances so far.
For me, the Armani Code Eau de Parfum already smells at the beginning like it does at the end, but with the perfectly balanced individual scent notes described above.
Additionally, I have a great longevity of 8-10 hours, depending on the dosage.
It has a pleasant but distinctly noticeable sillage.
Except in summer, I think it can be worn at any time. It always makes a good impression, and you are clearly noticed. (whether in the office, meetings, weddings, clubbing,...)

The "new old" Armani Code is back, but with more power, sensuality, endurance, and seriousness!
I wish for more of this when transitioning from EdT to EdP or perfume, as these are often completely different fragrances and have little to nothing to do with the original DNA and, moreover, are worse in the H/S...

So, gentlemen: The "Code for Well-Being" is back!!!
