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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Supreme Milan Encrypt For Men EDP
A strong budget match for Armani Code Ultimate, Supreme Milan Encrypt carries the same star-anise-over-spicy-woods signature with surprising potency. Reviewers call it close enough that the original isn't worth the spend, though the dupe reads a touch more balanced and less green.
