Giorgio Armani Armani Code Golden Edition is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013. Armani Code Golden Edition opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Olive Tree, Guaiac Wood, and Star Anise, and dries down to a base of Leather, Tonka Bean, and Tobacco. Giorgio Armani's Armani Code Golden Edition carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A modern classic that’s divisive despite - or perhaps because of - its elegance. Some find it powdery and synthetic, while others adore its unique, contrasted journey from citrus bright to smoky dark.

About

It kicks off with a zesty flick of bergamot and lemon, sharp and invigorating before it settles into something far more intriguing. Star anise adds a subtle, almost spicy sweetness, woven with the smooth, slightly medicinal guaiac wood and the unusual greenness of olive tree. The drydown is where the real magic happens, with a rich, pliable leather wrapped around warm tonka bean and a smoky whisper of tobacco, creating a sophisticated and memorable close.
