Launched in 2012, Armani Code Ultimate by Giorgio Armani was created by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu as an evolution of the brand’s iconic Code series. The composition opens with a bright burst of star anise and citrus notes—grapefruit and mandarin orange—that cut through to a heart of heliotrope and olive blossom, adding depth and complexity. The base layers in vanilla, tonka bean, and guaiac wood for a warm, powdery finish that feels both familiar and luxurious.

Application Tips
Apply lightly to pulse points, as this fragrance blooms slowly over time. The star anise top note fades quickly, but the rich base notes will linger close to your skin for hours.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet intimacy of an evening spent in a dimly lit room where the scent of warm vanilla and soft powders creates a cocoon of luxury.
