Nice to meet you, good bye Armani

I noticed that now the old version is called Classic and the “New” bottle format is simply Armani Code. This is an interesting move from Armani, probably to cash some more money from nostalgic customers.

Giorgio Armani's first oriental men's fragrance was the Code, now it is another flanker that we are dealing with.

THE SECRET: The midnight blue of the bottle evokes the famous Armani tuxedo worn by Denzel Washington on the occasion of the Oscar night.

The longevity is quite decent on my skin, a bit better than it was with the previous version. The mandarine + lavender combination is quite popular in the new released scents but it makes them boring and forgettable.

I was crazy about Armani Code around 2006, it was powerful, oriental and special. Today is only a shadow of its former self and makes no sense to get a bottle, better go with the Eau de Parfum (also discontinued).

The prices are very volatile, from 50€/USD to 100€/USD for no reason within days, so this makes buying a bottle even less attractive because you do not know if th price you paid today will not be half in the next day.

I guess L´Óreal in their might, are trying to kill of some brands and with Armani even if they have a license until 2050 stil, are already starting.

Score : 7 / 10

A notable nighttime subscription

Firstly, this new version of Armani Code is fresher at first when sprayed on the skin, due to the note of Green Mandarina, and while the previous version was more spicy due to the note of star anise.
Secondly, this perfume has a more barbershop vibe , as it smells like a men's beauty product.
However, it follows the same scent pattern as the previous version, due to that Tonka Bean note that the Giorgio Armani house knows how to work with in a unique way.
In this way, it is a very comfortable perfume, it is differentiated by its quality of raw materials, and it has a more nocturnal vibe. A great signature.
Performance follows the same as the previous version, a more signature and intimate vibe.
Yes, I recommend it!

Closest thing to OG code

Armani code 2023 is the closest thing that you can find to the 2004 code. Notes listed are not resembling the real smell (skill issue armani or maybe skill issue me? Idk) because I can smell the 2004 code from the undertones of the scent. Of course listed notes are the strongest ones, but they are not fully describing the smell. Fragrance opens with Green mandarin, very fresh and citrusy, then lavender kicks in and in the base, tonka bean’s vanilla scent will shine. In the undertones, I can smell leather, anise and tobacco from the Og code. Pretty good even though it’s not exactly the OG code. Suitable for every season and every occasion, performance is average, 6 hours of longevity and about 1+ projection for first hour. Price is expensive and not justified for this performance. If you are a fan of OG code, this is the closest scent to the OG code.

A masterpiece killed

This new perfum should not use this name. This scent has nothing to do with the classic (2004-2022) Armani Code.

The original was a complex scent, very likeble, that could be used on every season and was impossible to dislike. This one opens with a disgusting note and goes bad until it fades. It is like to remember the original one, hiding behind the smell of a vomit of a citric drink.

The bottle, the scent, the projection, everything on this is a shame. But overall the scent.

The best of both worlds

A few days ago, Armani Code (2023) Eau de Toilette was added to my collection. And I'll be honest, the fragrance is nothing special. It doesn't polarize, it doesn't smell exciting and it's not a sillage monster that annoys people in enclosed spaces. Now you could conclude that it is yawning boredom. But far from it. For me personally, it is precisely these characteristics that make it special.

When you spray it on, you are immediately greeted by the first part of the fragrance pyramid: mandarin and lots of pleasant lavender. The (green) mandarin is very fresh, especially in the opening. I also recognize something metallic, which gives the whole thing a hint of mint in combination with the green mandarin. I don't normally like mint in fragrances, but here it's really only hinted at and there's not really any mint in it. The interplay of the fragrance notes only suggests that. But as I said, it is only hinted at, very subtle and therefore very pleasant and it supports the fresh impression. This top note freshness remains on my skin for quite a long time for an EDT. I would say for about 2-3 hours.

Then comes a transformation. The tonka bean and cedarwood transform the Armani Code into a (light) licorice scent that exudes a wonderfully subtle vanilla aroma and is also slightly creamy. The vanilla is by no means overpowering. It is discreetly restrained and very pleasant. The nice thing is that it somehow remains subliminally fresh and light due to the "metallicity" described above, which is why I chose the title for this review. The metallic freshness in combination with the slightly vanilla-like creaminess makes it smell very clean and pure. And I like that. In the end, I perceive it like a clean cream on my skin in the drydown. Similar to what For Him Bleu Noir Eau de Parfum does, for example, only with the beautiful vanilla aroma that the tonka bean gives it. On my skin, the fragrance lasts a total of 7-8 hours before it finally fades away. Although I have to say that I generally apply fragrances rather moderately.

The Armani Code (2023) Eau de Toilette is an absolute all-rounder, actually an all-rounder. Except perhaps for sports and on really hot days, you can wear it all the time. You can wear it to work, in your free time during the day and also in the evening to go out (cinema, theater, restaurant, etc.). It is fresh and slightly creamy and then later pleasantly fresh and sweet. These characteristics definitely give it signature fragrance potential.
