Giorgio Armani

Code Parfum

Code Parfum by Giorgio Armani is a masculine-leaning parfum from 2022 in the designer price tier. It opens with green apple and cardamom, moves into lavender and orange blossom and dries down to tonka bean, vanilla and cedarwood. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Green Apple Tart, crunchy and sharp. Cleaner and cooler than red apple.
• Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.

Heart

• Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
• Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.

Dry-down

• Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
