The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Giorgio Armani and crafted by perfumer Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié, Armani Code A-List is an Oriental Woody fragrance for men that balances fresh citrus with warm woody notes. The composition opens with green mandarin and bergamot, creating a crisp and vibrant top that soon gives way to lavender and guaiac wood. These aromatic elements add depth and complexity, while tonka bean and vanilla provide a sweet, creamy finish that anchors the fragrance in warmth and comfort.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for the best effect. The fresh top notes will last through the day, while the woody and vanilla base notes gradually emerge as you move into evening activities.
