This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's bottled sunshine and pure artistry; for others, it's a cloying, medicinal mess or even worse, like 'dirty horse stalls'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite what some might claim.

This discontinued gem is lauded as the best Armani Code flanker, hands down. A warm vanilla-gourmand with surprising depth, it's a confident, seductive choice, even if some sniffy reviewers call it generic. It's an undisputed compliment-getter, pure sex in a bottle.
