Customer Reviews of Giorgio Armani Armani Code
Customer Review: Pleasant Professional Fragrance + Beautiful Bottle
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this perfume while searching for something professional, yet feminine, to wear to work. What I ended up with is a pleasant floral/musk fragrance that I receive many compliments on, and a pretty bottle that looks nice on my dresser.
The fragrance starts out with a spicy scent of citrus and ginger with a sweeter jasmine and vanilla undertone. After about twenty to thirty minutes, the scent becomes more musky, like sandalwood, but still retaining the pleasant, light floral scent underneath. The overall fragrance lasts for a full work day, and I often receive compliments on the fragrance even late in the afternoon or early evening, after approximately ten to twelve hours of wear.
This is one of my favorite perfumes, at least partly because of what it is NOT: Armani Code for women is never overly sweet and flowery, edibly fruit-scented, nor beach and ocean-ish. Instead, it is a pleasant mix of musk and feminity that pairs well with my long working day. Although the Armani advertisements I have seen tend to bill this item as ultra-sexy, femme fatale material, I generally use this scent as "work" perfume rather than "date" perfume.
Also, if you like to display your perfume bottles (as I do), the bottle has a curvy shape with a nice pattern and an unusual purple color.
Customer Review: Agree with other reviewers: fantastic scent but doesn't last long enough
Summary: 4 Stars
Just bought a bottle of Armani Code for Women for my wife. She and I both love the scent; it smells of jasmine and orange blossom but is mellow, musky, and sensual rather than bright, floral, or perky. And yet after only two days of wearing it she said "You know something, this perfume doesn't last that long." I found this interesting because although I had read reviews about it before smelling it at the department store, she hadn't read any. So she came to that conclusion independently, and I have to agree with her. One other reviewer suggested that it does not have enough oil base in the recipe, and I suspect that is correct; it wears more like a fantastic body spray.
By the way, the Amazon price is excellent but Macy's offers a package set with the full-size perfume bottle, an elegant travel-size bottle, and body lotion, all in a little carrying bag, for $80.
Customer Review: GLAMOROUS, MYSTERIOUS, SEDUCTIVE
Summary: 5 Stars
Glamorous, mysterious, seductive all describe Armani Code, a captivating orange blossom based scent from Giorgio Armani Fragrance.
As one would expect from this master couturier the bottle itself is a gem. Tapering from a weighted base the slim flacon seems to glow as lacquered shades of blue sweep from an early dawn at the bottom of the sleek holder to midnight nearing the top. Adding to the fragrance's intrigue is an oriental effect achieved by lace embroidery on the glass.
The scent is sweet yet sensuous with a sparkle provided by orange zest. With orange blossom at its heart Armani Code is enhanced by Sambac jasmine, Madagascan vanilla and honey. The man in my life called it "delicious," and I do, too. It's now high on my list of favorite fragrances.
