Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean profile and moderate performance make it ideal for the office and casual wear, as many users attested. While pleasant for dates, its lack of intense projection means it might not stand out in formal settings or intense sports, though its freshness is good for light activity.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Armani Code Colonia opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, sharpened by a hint of pink pepper. This vibrant citrus top quickly mellows into a heart of aromatic clary sage and delicate orange blossom. The dry-down is a creamy, sweet embrace of tonka bean and warm amberwood, with a soft, powdery touch of heliotrope, maintaining a smooth freshness throughout.
