What's happening here? or Glorious, glorious, glorious, the EdP
I had missed the first twilight of the gods around Armani Code back then as a person with an affinity for perfume, but "only" with 4-6 bottles, which I bought in retail stores, whereby the bottles stayed with me for several years. The bottles probably didn't appeal to me, and I didn't know of a perfume community. (Did they even exist?) So the hype passed me by.
In this respect, I don't know what the following fragrances smell like:
Armani Code (2004) Eau de Toilette
Armani Code (2021) Eau de Parfum
Armani Code Profumo
etc.
But a few months ago, I happened to receive a manufacturer's sample of Armani Code (2023) Eau de Toilette and was thrilled. Fruity/fresh start, wonderful drydown, very good price. So I bought a bottle and wrote a review. I found it more exciting than Armani Code Parfum. I sprayed it again and again as a feel-good fragrance at home after a shower when the weather was a bit gray and grumpy.
Now Armani Code (2024) Eau de Parfum is out and I'm testing it for the third time. And I have to say: What's happening here?
This beginning is so wonderful. I was thrilled when I first tested it, and nothing has changed. Smooth, mutedly sweet and spicy - but definitely unique! In the drydown, the fragrance reminds me a lot of Bois d'Argent, whereby the expensive Dior smelled unpleasant to me at the beginning, like oranges that are slightly spoiled.
In the drydown, the similarity is striking for me.
But only after 2 hours.
For the first two hours, something radiates from my arm that I am not familiar with. It is quite possible that connoisseurs of the first Code series will be able to identify the fragrance exactly. It is possible that one of the old codes has been revived here.
Armani probably only specifies three fragrance notes here. I can smell all three wonderfully. There are probably other fragrance notes that I can't find communicated anywhere.
One thing is certain for me: I want to have the bottle and then look forward to days in summer that are not so warm. It's 25 degrees today. But the weather is already looking gray. It's supposed to rain again. I sit on the windy balcony and smell a splendor that is second to none.
During the first tests, I could clearly perceive the fragrance for a good 6-7 hours. The sillage is fine, as is the bottle. Even if the EdP is a little more expensive than the EdT, the price is completely fine for the quality that is available here
Thank you, Armani!
Hype, the second one?
Be sure to test this fragrance, dear perfumos.
