Which Should You Buy?
A divisive take on the original Code, this summer flanker is a beautiful orange blossom-led scent, but its fresh, watery character doesn't appeal to everyone. Its elusive nature (being a limited edition) means many are gutted they can't get their hands on it now.
A budget take on Armani Code Summer Pour Femme. Milan Heat captures that juicy pear-sorbet and bitter-orange opening flowing into a soft orange-blossom and jasmine heart - light, flirty and summery. Like the original it stays close to the skin with modest longevity, the fruity sparkle reading a touch more synthetic here.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its lighter, aquatic nature and 'office-friendly' reviews make it suitable for casual and workday wear. However, its excellent lasting power and strong sillage, noted by several reviewers, might make it less ideal for formal settings where subtlety is key.
Seasons
The juicy pear, bitter orange and airy florals make this a warm-weather scent built for spring and summer; far too light for cold months.
Occasions
Light, flirty and unobtrusive - ideal for casual outings, daily wear and easy dates, fine for the office; too soft and playful for formal evenings.
