Milan Heat For Women

Milan Heat chases the bright, summery signature of Giorgio Armani's Code Summer Pour Femme - the airy, fruity-floral flanker built for warm days. It opens juicy and luminous with pear sorbet and bitter orange, lifted by green neroli and a watery freshness. The heart blooms into a delicate floral of orange blossom, sambac jasmine, a flick of ginger and watery cyclamen. The drydown is soft and clean: musk, a touch of vanilla and pale blond woods. Against the original it does a faithful job of the recognisable shape and the light, flirtatious mood, though the budget rendition reads a shade more synthetic in its fruit. Performance mirrors the original's known weakness - Code Summer is notorious for staying close to the skin and fading within a couple of hours, and Milan Heat is similar, projecting softly and not lasting long. What you get is a fun, easygoing fruity-floral for hot days at a fraction of the cost. Made for spring and summer, an effortless pick for casual outings, daily wear and light dates.
