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.
