Giorgio Armani Code, Le Parfum 150ml Refill
Plussat ja miinukset
asiantuntijoidemme laatimana
Giorgio Armani Code Le Parfum kuvataan usein moderniksi, puumaiseksi-orientaaliseksi miesten tuoksuksi, jossa on yllättävän raikas sitrusavaus ja sitä seuraa makea tonkapapu sekä pehmeä, puuterinen iiris. Monet arvostelijat pitävät sitä hyvin monikäyttöisenä: se on tarpeeksi hienostunut iltaan ja treffeille, mutta silti riittävän kevyt ja raikas toimistoon ja arkeen. 150 ml:n täyttöpulloa pidetään usein järkevänä valintana niille, jotka jo pitävät tuoksusta, koska hinta millilitraa kohti on parempi ja pakkausjätettä syntyy vähemmän. Samalla esiin nousee toistuvia miinuksia. Hinta on yhä korkea, myös refill-versiona, ja osa alkuperäisen Armani Coden faneista kokee tämän version vähemmän tummaksi ja persoonalliseksi kuin aiemmat julkaisut. Myös drydownin puuterinen iiris jakaa mielipiteitä: joidenkin mielestä se on elegantti, toiset toivoisivat kuivempaa ja mausteisempaa pohjaa. Tehoa kuvataan yleensä keskimääräistä paremmaksi, muttei erityisen voimakkaaksi, mikä riittää useimmille, mutta ei niille, jotka etsivät erittäin raskasta ja voimakkaasti projisoivaa tuoksua.
Giorgio Armani Code, Le Parfum 150ml Refill -arvostelut
Perustuu 296 arvosteluun
The opening may initially be irritating: A very citrusy, mandarin-dominated opening suggests that this is a classic summer fragrance. But this impression is misleading, as the freshness fades surprisingly quickly and is overshadowed by a tart nutmeg note. That is precisely what ultimately makes Armani Code a fragrance that, contrary to its fragrance pyramid, is not a summer scent. Instead, it reveals itself as a reliable everyday fragrance that works in every season, with the exception of summer and late spring. It is less suitable for special occasions, but it does not need to be. Its strength lies precisely in being an uncomplicated companion for daily wear, understated and versatile. Conclusion: A solid, tart-spicy everyday fragrance that quickly leaves its citrusy opening behind and proves itself above all outside the warmer seasons as a faithful companion.

I thought, based on the product description, that there would be some contrast here. Mandarin (whether green or "normal") is almost completely crushed by a vanilla-cinnamon-creamy tonka bean. The nutmeg is in the same boat, it can only contribute a bit of spice now and then, but is completely powerless. A reviewer compared it a few days ago to The Scent Elixir for Him minus the fruitiness. I would agree with that (where I don't agree with his review are the incense notes, but oh well). So, against this code, a Bad Boy Cobalt Absolute smells almost complex, even though it also overdoes it with the "vanilla cream."
