The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012, Armani Code Couture Edition by Giorgio Armani is an Oriental Floral fragrance that balances vibrant citrus and fruity top notes with a warm, enveloping base. The composition opens with blood orange and petitgrain, giving way to pear and ginger, before settling into the heart of orange blossom, mirabilis, and osmanthus. This floral bouquet is then anchored by honey, leather, vanilla, tonka bean, and cedar, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and intimate.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points, as the citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour. The rich base notes take about an hour to bloom fully, so plan accordingly for a full day of wear. This fragrance reads better close to skin than from across a room.
