Mainstream with Niche Quality
To enjoy something fine and balanced, it does not necessarily require an intellectual challenge. The quality can also lie in creating a balanced scent that joyfully floats on delicate nuances, one that can certainly convince the majority of people right away and that not only those who, like us here, engage with fragrances to a special extent can come to appreciate.
And something that seems so simple, yet is not so easy to achieve upon closer inspection, has been excellently accomplished with Armani Code Turquoise.
In the top note, very beautiful neroli appears immediately without the sharpness that neroli can sometimes have. This opening is the total freshness kick for summer days or simply perfect for instantly evoking a sense of carefree joy. I find the scent very finely balanced with this soon appearing, slightly sharp hint of ginger and the warm undertone, which is pleasant even for jasmine skeptics like me, that keeps the neroli, or the orange blossom essence, in the foreground throughout.
After about three hours, Armani Code Turquoise becomes a bit more bitter and simultaneously powdery. The base note is already announcing itself. The base, in which I also suspect a little ambroxan, so little that I still find it pleasant, is soft and warm and still somewhat bitter.
Overall, Armani Code Turquoise takes a rather wide course, in which the orange remains constant and only at the very end recedes slightly into the background: First orange blossom, then orange, and towards the base, orange peel.
Especially in the heart note, Armani Code Turquoise strongly reminds me of Eau Sensuelle by Rochas. The Armani is initially fresher, a bit brighter, and in the top note significantly more citrusy than the Rochas, and also somewhat more monothematic. I must say, I find the Armani even a little more beautiful, particularly because it takes a broader and more interesting course. I also experience it as slightly more long-lasting than Eau Sensuelle.
Only the bottle - the turquoise color does not match this beautiful scent at all, to which a color like salmon or a soft, light-infused, translucent orange would have been more fitting.
If Armani Code Turquoise were a soliflore from a highly praised niche brand, this scent would have an average rating of at least 8.7 here.
Sometimes I wish for fragrances to be tested in a blind procedure, as is done in some application processes: Without a picture and without a name.
