Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani Code Parfum Parfum
A plush, contemporary take on iris and woods, Armani Code Parfum melds creamy tonka and powdery florals into a suave, masculine signature. Effortlessly refined and versatile, it stands out with understated confidence.

Our Verdict - Santiago Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Giorgio Armani Code Parfum (2022) - vanilla, tonka bean and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
