An Unforgettable Youth
There are many fragrance creations in this world, from masterpieces to repulsive, grotesque brews.
And then there are those that manage to flatter our hearts and evoke something that makes you never forget the past time spent with these scents.
For me, that is the Armani Code line.
About the Fragrance
I still vividly remember my first vacation without my parents - Lloret de Mar 2012. A clique, summer, freedom, and endless nights where we enjoyed life to the fullest. Back then, I wore the classic Armani Code (2004) Eau de Toilette
A fragrance that not only gave me confidence but also somehow made me feel finally grown up, which can certainly be debated at 18 years old. :)
It was the time of first great adventures, unexpected encounters, and those moments that burn indelibly into memory.
And Today?
When I sprayed the Armani Code (2024) Eau de Parfum for the first time, it was as if I were right back at that place where my journey with this line began.
The fresh fruity mandarin, the spicy nutmeg, and the sensually sweet-smoky tonka bean strongly remind me of my time in Spain.
While the Armani Code (2024) Eau de Parfum feels distinctly more embracing and sweeter than the original Code.
However, it exudes the same aura from back then and is perfectly balanced between freshness, spice, and warmth. I think this makes it a perfect companion for warm summer evenings. It can be worn very versatile and, in my opinion, fits into almost any situation.
It radiates maturity and determination,
while still maintaining a sense of humor and not taking life too seriously.
Longevity & Sillage
The performance has significantly improved since then.
I remember having to reapply the Armani Code (2004) Eau de Toilette 1-2 times in the evening because it faded significantly after about 3-4 hours.
The 2024 version, on the other hand, easily lasts 7-8 hours (at least for me)
And the projection is much stronger. It lingers in the air for a long time and radiates just the right amount to not be intrusive.
While I am not familiar with the new eau de toilette and the new perfume, I can well imagine that this scent lives up to the reviews compared to the others.
Conclusion
Armani Code (2024) Eau de Parfum is a stylish, fresh, warm fragrance that can be worn in any situation - whether it's daily work in the office, dates, special occasions, or simply in leisure time.
It works well on both warm and cold days, but I wouldn't recommend it on very hot days.
For me, Armani Code is not just a scent DNA but a memory of a time when life seemed endless and carefree. Perhaps that is the most beautiful thing about perfumes - they not only emit aromas but also emotions and memories.

That's exactly how I understand how fragrances work.
