However, the classic does still manage to have its charms. This is why so many fragrance companies have created duplicates and guys are looking for cheaper clone versions of this cologne.
In this post, I want to present some options for men, who want a similar smell to Armani Code or an alternative for less money. The opening act is quite similar, with citrus, and then the later tonka bean smoothness.
Intenso is smooth with a solid dark feel that is balanced by a citrus sweet undertone. Intenso is softer, with more of a powdered aroma than Code, thanks to the attractive iris note. In the end, Hollywood overcomes its shaky start, and has a really nice aroma with a bit of floral and woods underneath.
Copacabana opens up with a great citrus blend and floral notes, which gives it a bit of a powdery edge. It is a fresh sorts of fragrance, which dries down with some clove spice, and underlying woody notes. Pretty straightforward fragrance, but smells quite nice, and has good performance.
Copacabana shares the citrus and powdery qualities of Code. Seduction in Black, is however, a very nice scent for the price. The main similarities are the use of citrus and the heavy tonka bean in this Antonio Banderas fragrance. However, the black currant note gives this one more of a juiciness and sharpness.
This shares spicy qualities, but nutmeg, in lieu of anise. Dries down with some amber and musk. Performance is pretty good for this price level, but nothing insane.
Just another cheapie option. And instead of going for Ultramale as usual, I just grabbed Code Profumo without thinking and probably sprayed without thinking. I forgot what a killer silage and durability the scent has. Already in the hallway my father greeted me with a strong "Uffff", but I just wanted to leave quickly. When I arrived at my buddy's house, we all got into the car and it started. After about 2 minutes he braked, turned around to me and said seriously: "Dude, roll down the windows".
I was a little embarrassed because the whole car smelled like me. Oh no, probably even the traffic behind us could smell me, with closed windows. I was a bit embarrassed and panicked how it would be later in the marquee. Finally we arrived and stormed the tent. I made my way to the bar to finally get some drinks. Suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned around and asked: "Yes? It was a girl, she actually asked me about my scent.
I replied somewhat quietly: "Is it that bad, I exaggerated it a bit". She said: "No, it's so good. Why did I write this? Because I am firmly convinced that in the right situations more is sometimes simply better. In that sense, trust. Even if you have to roll down the windows By the way, my costume still smells like Code Profumo, because you are rarely allowed to wash it. That party was five months ago. In general it is the best! It was my first signature perfume and I loved it. The smell is woody and warm, like Christmas night with friends or an industrial leather home.
The amber debuts right when you put it on. A 4,9 out of 5. Less helpful Review 2. I liked this fragrance very much right after the first smell and was not disappointed over time. Surely the light sweetness and spice is not for the hot days.
Get yourself a sample! Exactly this fragrance is one of the fragrances I do not like, in fact it is one of the fragrances I like least. Sweet, spicy, sticky, pompous, obtrusive and present, this is how it looks to me when I test it. Tonka bean and cardamom in exaggerated concentration do their part to give this impression. I would never have thought that I could get anything out of the scent Today I should be proven wrong Today it was time again, the soccer Bundesliga has started again and I went to a good friend to watch the h games.
It has to be mentioned that he lives in a two person flat share and his roommate was also present. But he came only to the second half time. With his arrival I noticed immediately, hui, but he is dieselled in.
And for the first 10 minutes I had to think about what with. Anyway, immediately the whole room was filled with his smell. There was not a corner there that did not smell of him. He would confirm this to me later, but we hadn't gotten that far yet. First I want to describe my scent impressions on him: - i smelled tonka bean, caradamon - i also smelled: a light citric and a nice fruity note - it seemed almost somewhat fresh, although sweetness and spice formed the main chords I had to admit that this scent simply smells enormously good on this man.
A smell like ass on bucket. You have to imagine him like this: A chubby guy with shaved sides, extremely well-groomed beard and a side parting, as many people wear them nowadays for fashion reasons.
Everything about him was neat. Every hair lay as it should. In addition, his manner was at least as present as his scent. A man who took over the room and the people in it, but still pleasant, funny and entertaining. We laughed and joked a lot and enjoyed the resumed play. The scent emanated from him like an aura.
It underlined his character and gave him something sovereign. Fine, sweet-fresh wafts of spices emanated from him and enveloped our noses. I found the scent on him almost a little seductive. It also conveyed a kind of security and warmth.
It also matched the good weather, which I would never have thought, as the scent is clearly arranged in my winter corner. I was ecstatic that a fragrance I hated so much could have such a great effect on another person. I would never buy it for myself, but I could not imagine anything better about it. All together not bad. Armani Code itself is one of the fragrances that I've always been curious to test, both for the notes themselves and for the many positive comments made about it.
It is, without a shadow of a doubt, a great perfume, but I still expected more. I explain. It is clearly a very high quality male perfume. Note that it is slim and elegant we are talking about an Armani right? The brand itself needs no comment! Armani Code opens with a light citrus breeze, very light indeed and very fast, as anise with the wood note soon enters the scene a great combination! Then come the notes of tobacco and leather note that predominated in my skin , followed by a light sweetness of tonka bean.
The reason why I expected more from this fragrance is in the sense that it was something sweeter, that it had a more intense tonka bean note. As the leather note predominated in me, I felt this scent a little more "closed" than I would have liked.
With this more intense leather note, I felt a slight rubbery touch, which immediately brought me back to Bvlgari Black. I'm not saying they're the same, it's just that on my skin, both highlighted this rubbery aroma, which I like a lot, just that I prefer Bvlgari because it has the vanilla note that made it sweeter than Armani. Well, apart from this point that I expected a sweeter perfume, Armani Code is a very good fragrance indeed!
Although it's not a blockbuster perfume, in the sense of not having an intense projection, it sticks well to the skin, which is a very positive point. Elegant, refined and for men with class, Armani Code is an ideal perfume for those who want to feel smelly but don't want to attract too much attention.
An excellent choice of perfume to wear at work! Congratulations to Armani brand for this beautiful creation. Less helpful Review 4. The fragrance pleases me personally very well. The smell is very pleasant and also applicable in the spring to partly in the summer. However, tends basically more to the Winrerduft. Code is a mixture of fresh and sweet in total with the bottle a good price-performance fragrance.
This one is a little bit different to give rating for. I remember when first time bought it like 5 years ago and it was amazing. I got plenty of compliments, everyone asking what perfumes I'm wearing, it was one of the best at this time. And the saddest part that I bought it like 6 months ago and it really disappointed me.
I don't know why but it had lack of everything, the scent was something cheap, it was too spicy and I had to respray it on myself constantly. Then I decided to read what happened and I found out it was reformulated How sad is that, you have amazing perfume but you decided to change it and fail miserably. I wouldn't recommend to buy it now, unless, old formula will come back. It's a miss for me. Very helpful Review 8.
This little masterpiece is already a few years old, but that doesn't do him any harm, as he still knows how to convince despite his age. And when I talk about age, I see this scent on a very mature and grown man and not on a milky boy. Not necessarily in a suit, but in someone who has both feet on the ground and who is neither aloof nor arrogant, but very down to earth and rather reserved, like a true gentleman.
Yes, he definitely has his freshness, but what makes him so mature for me is the tobacco, the guaiac wood and the leather, these are also the two notes I smell the most.
But as in many other fragrances, the leather here doesn't associate me so much with raspberry, but is very subtle in the background. The tobacco is not scratchy and the guaiac wood seems to be a fine sanded wood, without any edges and corners as I said above I now have many fragrances and he has recently joined me and I am happy to have him in my collection, he is really so smooth and has a very calming effect on me The bottle is really noble with the black and also the durability is completely fine on my skin, I am at 8 to even 10h, is always different Clear recommendation to buy.
Somewhere got a sample from this reformulated one. My first reaxtion was a big wow. Its fresh at the opening, masculine and woody with some sweeetness at the end, but in a very interesting way.
Its probably okay for spring too. The flanker just arrived, Wowowowow! After hours i just realised there is nothing left from the Code. Respray time! Another hours, and the code gone again. So to be clear: I like the weak sillage scents, I prefer the ones where others just smell the fragrance when they are talk to me directly. Nonetheless this one is not weak in projectivity, its just a really really weak one in longetivity and overall performance.
Probably if I have a bath in it, its gone in hours late too. Very helpful Review Guys, this is hard. Hard for my heart to take a trip down memory lane. Oh, no!
