Giorgio Armani Armani Code Special Blend is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. Armani Code Special Blend opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Olive Tree, Star Anise, and Tarragon, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Guaiac Wood, Tonka Bean, and Tobacco. Giorgio Armani's Armani Code Special Blend carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive take on a classic, Armani Code Special Blend amps up the tonka and tobacco, shedding the leather for a more modern, sweeter profile. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair; some adore the rich twist, others find it too similar to the original or just another sweet fragrance.

About

Opens with a zesty burst of neroli, bergamot, and mandarin, immediately followed by the intriguing spice of star anise and the green nuance of olive tree. As it settles, a warm, rich base of creamy tonka bean, smoky guaiac wood, and dry tobacco emerges, creating a sophisticated and subtly sweet woody aroma. Aromatic herbs linger throughout, adding a distinctive edge to the classic Code DNA.
