The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008, Armani Code Mirror Edition by Giorgio Armani was crafted by the perfumers Carlos Benaïm, Dominique Ropion, and Olivier Polge. The composition opens with a bright burst of Italian Orange and Bitter Orange, providing a fresh citrus top note that quickly transitions into a heart of Jasmine and Orange Blossom, offering a delicate floral sweetness. The fragrance then settles into a warm base of Vanilla and Honey, creating a comforting and enveloping finish.
Apply this fragrance in two light sprays to allow the citrus top notes to mingle with the warm base. The honey and vanilla emerge gradually, so it's best applied in the morning for lasting warmth throughout the day.
