No.068 Code

No.068 is Eden's vegan, cruelty-free alternative to Giorgio Armani Code for Women, the women's companion to Armani's long-running Code line. The original opens with a burst of Italian orange, jasmine and bitter orange, deepens through an orange blossom and jasmine heart with a touch of ginger spice, and settles on vanilla and sandalwood for a warm, skin-close finish. This version reproduces that same shape closely - citrus and jasmine up top, orange blossom and ginger in the heart, vanilla and sandalwood underneath - making it a fairly faithful structural match, even if the overall effect is a little sweeter and less refined than the polished ambery depth Armani built into the original. It performs at a moderate level for longevity and projection, holding up well through an evening without becoming heavy. Warm and floral but balanced enough for work as well as dates, it suits cooler months best and is a sensible, low-cost way to try the Code silhouette.
