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.

About

Armani Code Le Parfum opens with an initial blast of fresh ginger and bright orange, quickly layered over a lush white floral heart of jasmine and rose. There's a crisp, juicy pear note that adds a touch of sweetness, which morphs into a rich, almost smoky and spicy quality on the dry down, often interpreted as dark and warm. This intense floral-fruity blend is underpinned by a prominent fresh spicy accord that gives it undeniable depth and a touch of the mysterious.
