Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Harmony Code Intense EDP
A divisive tribute that sparks quite the argument: is it Armani Code Ultimate, or a ghost of its former self? Either way, expect a budget-friendly blast of tonka and vanilla, though longevity might be a coin toss.

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.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
