Armani Code Parfum Giorgio Armani 2022
1
Good potential, but underperforms for its value.
Opens as a fresh bergamot with a fresh leafy note as well. Not like a green grass type but more like a basil leaf. It has a more synthetic freshness (slightly kinda like a hairspray synthetic) that is there pretty much throughout the life of the scent.
Later, together with the tonka bean & orris butter, it becomes slightly sweet which kind of resembles a soft vanilla. At this point - about 1-2 hours in - it smells good, but the overall projection of this one is not too strong. The good notes are pretty muted and buried in the scent. After 4-5 hours the scent is pretty much dead and you have to touch your nose to your skin to smell it.
I like the scent in the mids-base stage, but since its performance is low there are plenty other scents I would rather wear instead. Not worth paying the price for this one.
