Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Armani Code Profumo EDP
This one's a divisive legend. Discontinued by Armani (to widespread outrage), Profumo is drenched in sweet, spicy, amber goodness that's pure seduction, though a few find it a bit much. If you can get your hands on it, you're in for a treat.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Sweet Milan EDP
A budget take on Giorgio Armani Code Profumo, that sweet-spicy date-night staple. Sweet Milan nails the green-apple-and-cardamom opening and the creamy tonka-amber base, but the leather and the rich, syrupy depth read flatter, and it projects more modestly than the original's punchy trail.

Season and Occasion Fit

Armani Code Profumo

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given its strong projection and sweet, dense accords, Profumo is best suited for colder weather evenings and intimate settings like dates. It's generally too intense for an office and completely out of place for sport, but can work for casual nights out.

Sweet Milan

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The sweet spices, creamy tonka and amber make this a cosy autumn and winter scent, with enough lift for spring evenings.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

Sweet, flirty and suave, it shines on dates and evenings more than the office or sport.
