Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani Code Ultimate EDP
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.

Our Verdict - Wanted Noir Extrait
Wanted Noir captures Azzaro The Most Wanted's moreish caramel-and-cardamom hook convincingly, opening with the same spicy-citrus lift before sinking into a sweet, toffee-laden heart. It runs a touch sweeter and less refined than the original's balance, but the addictive gourmand core is unmistakably there.
