Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Code Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Armani's Armani Code (2004) - Antoine Maisondieu, Antoine Lie and Clement Gavarry's lemon-anise-tobacco signature, here translated into a budget reading with the bergamot-anise-tobacco-leather spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear.
Our Verdict - Spicebomb Eau de Parfum
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Viktor&Rolf's Spicebomb (2012) - Olivier Polge's pepper-cinnamon-tobacco grenade-bottle masculine, here translated into a budget reading with the pepper-cinnamon-tobacco-leather spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for evening and date wear in cooler weather.
