I just tried it and found it interesting (beyond being the thousandth Code flanker). The opening is fresh with a watery hint, but with that characteristic ambered touch of the Codes. At that point, it reminded me of Dior Homme Eau. Clary sage takes the lead in the heart, along with the citrus and orange blossom. It’s an aromatic fougère, yes; you can feel intense spices in the background, and the sweet flowers give it a very delicate forest aura. Honestly, very good, of very high quality. Great longevity and good trail. The most attractive part is its sweet and spicy dry down.
Launched in March 2016, it’s a soft-smelling but long-lasting perfume, reminiscent of bubblegum or hard candy, which reminded me a lot of the old Jacques Bogart Story Blue. The only thing is that the latter has an infinitely lower price and its notes are a bit more synthetic, but in my opinion, the final result is the same. If you like this type of fragrance, I’d go straight for the Jacques Bogart one.
The Code line stands out for mystery and danger, and this fragrance, though fresher, hasn’t disappointed me. It follows the same path as its successful predecessors. Recommended for daily use.
Don’t let the word ‘Colonia’ fool you, because it doesn’t perform like one. It lasts about 8 hours without over-applying, projects well, and has a great trail. The opening is typical, but the dry down has lovely nuances. It reminds me of the original Code and ends with an excellent dry down. It doesn’t lose freshness or sweetness. It’s very modern, a child of current trends, but well-executed. I see it as a corrected Invictus—without harsh notes, more elegant and of better quality. Perfect for spring and summer nights. 7.5/10.
Colonias usually evoke the moment of a shower, but this one simulates fresh breath right after brushing your teeth. At first, that mouthwash hit scared me, so I looked for another Armani scent and started playing around with the tester. Suddenly, I remembered when in school the teacher made us spit out our Boomer mint gum, and I’d stick it under my desk to smell it later. That sweet, gummy mint texture with the aftertaste of diluted SevenUP is what these synthetic notes of this strange Code flanker do. Its projection and longevity are as solid as its bottle, which is rare for a cologne. Ideal for those of us who are Boomer gum junkies.
It’s exactly the same as Versace Eros; I can’t distinguish them at all. I can’t judge its trail since I tested it on a very small sample, but honestly, I haven’t noticed any difference from Eros.
Normally, colognes evoke the moment of a shower or shaving, but this one is more ingenious by mimicking the fresh breath after brushing your teeth. I must confess that at first, that burst of mouthwash horrified me. I was looking for another Armani fragrance and started playing around with the tester. Suddenly, I remembered when I was in school and the teacher made us spit out Boomer mint gum, which I was a bit of a junkie for. I’d stick it under my desk and peel it off at the end of class to smell it before putting it back in my mouth. That washed-out, sugary mint texture with hints of diluted SevenUP from saliva is what the synthetic notes of amberwood and isoamyl salicylate reproduce in this strange flanker of the heavy Code line. Projection and longevity are as solid as its bottle, so it’s surprising that it’s an eau de cologne. For the Boomer and/or Doublemint rumination enthusiasts.
It smells very similar to Homem Zagas or Potence by Natura. It has good longevity and a slight sweetness with a mentholated touch. It’s perfect for everyday wear—modern and casual. Don’t be fooled by the ‘Colonia’ name; it’s an EDT with decent projection and lasting power.
Armani Code Colonia tried to fight Sauvage, but to me, it smells like cheap white musk that gives you a headache. It’s as if the creator ignored the penal code by using it with premeditation and malice. While I can tolerate ambroxan mixed with baking soda, this scent is beyond my comprehension: neither refined nor tempting. Everything else in the description falls flat because of that unmentioned olfactory storm, making it seem like a taste failure compared to Profumo.
It’s a very rich perfume. Although the name says ‘cologne,’ the performance is superior, almost like an EDP. Lasts about 8 hours on my skin and projects well for 2 or 3 hours; then projection drops but it’s still noticeable until the end. Good performance. It doesn’t seem like Versace’s Eros to me (I have both, 2015 batch); I can’t find any similarity. In my opinion, Code Colonia is more subtle and versatile than Eros. I recommend it.
It’s a very rich perfume… Although it says ‘cologne,’ its performance is superior, similar to an EDP. It lasts about 8 hours on my skin and projects very well for 2 or 3 hours; then the projection drops, but it remains noticeable until almost the end. Great performance. I read that it’s the same as Versace Eros, but I own both (the 2015 Eros) and can’t find any similarity. In my opinion, the Armani Code Cologne is more subtle and versatile than Eros. I recommend it.
I’m totally in love with this perfume (August 13, 2019). I tested it and can’t stop smelling my arm. It’s a cologne that smells like an Eau de Parfum <3. I'd love to know what other perfume smells this similar. They say it's the same as Versace's Eros, but they don't even look alike!
An exquisite beauty. It has nothing to do with Versace’s Eros. It’s a super psycho aroma, ideal for spring and summer, and could even work in autumn since it doesn’t smell like a cologne, but rather a rich parfum. Highly recommended 10 for Armani.
I’m a fan of the Code line, and this flanker hooks me too. It feels a bit ‘plastic’ and isn’t a trip to originality, but it has the DNA of the original with tonka bean as the base, and I like it. The cool thing is that, even though they say it’s a cologne, it’s an EDT that performs better than the original: 6-7 hours, with moderate projection for the first 2.5 hours. It loses a bit on elegance compared to the absolute, but gains in versatility for almost all situations, except late autumn and winter. Scent: 7.75 | Versatility: 8.5 | Longevity: 8 | Sillage: 8.
I’m a fan of the Code line, and this flanker doesn’t disappoint. It feels a bit ‘plastic’ and isn’t really an ode to originality, but it carries the DNA of the original with tonka bean as a key note. The interesting thing is that, although it’s marketed as a cologne, it’s more concentrated than the Eau de Toilette original and performs better: about 6 to 7 hours with moderate projection for the first 2 to 2.5 hours. It loses a bit of elegance compared to the original or the Absolu, but it wins on versatility for many situations, outfits, and seasons, except late autumn and winter. Scent: 7.75 Versatility: 8.5 Longevity: 8 Trail: 8.
Wow! This is the only one in my collection that goes 100% for my girlfriend. On my skin, it lasts 7 hours and in summer, it’s a projection bomb. My advice: max 4 sprays this season. For spring, bump it up to 6; it’s ideal for semi-formal events. The trail is incredible and the compliments never stop. Deserves a 10.
Wow! This is the only one in my collection my girlfriend absolutely loves. On my skin, it lasts about 7 hours and projects like a bomb in summer, so I recommend a maximum of 4 sprays during this season. For spring, 6 sprays are ideal, especially for formal or semi-formal events; it leaves an incredible and striking trail. I’ve gotten so many compliments that it truly deserves the 10.
It’s the base of the original Armani Code, mixed with Eros Versace EDT and a bit of Dior Eau de Toilette for men, minus the iris. Lasts over five hours, but the sweetness gets a bit heavy in the summer.
After testing it over several days and at different times… here’s my take. Opening: Citrusy and powerful, dominated by bergamot with a background of pepper that adds a spicy touch; I think this is a win because, being a summer scent, you need the opening to project well. Heart: A white floral note becomes clear, specifically neroli and salicylate, which give a distinct vibe compared to the ripe fruit like banana, but they blend well with the base of tonka bean. Dry Down: Perfectly sweet notes between tonka bean and heliotrope, giving it a powdery floral touch that’s very noticeable on summer nights. For me, this is exactly what I was looking for: a summer perfume that lasts into the night, fits any occasion without being intrusive, and works for both formal and informal settings. Code Colonia brings it all together, though it might feel a bit heavy for daytime activities.
Just bought this blind. At first, it hits strong with citrus and alcohol, but within seconds, it shifts to something sweet and pleasant, featuring that incredible orange or tangerine note. It keeps the DNA of the original and is very similar to Yves Saint Laurent’s Electrique, but it’s not as heavy or cloying. I wouldn’t recommend it for hot days, but it’s perfect for night use; it smells very seductive and people love it. Lasts a long time with medium-to-high projection. 100% recommended.
Not exactly spectacular. Smells citrusy with a mentholated, spicy kick, but very clean, almost soapy. It’s super fresh; I think that mix of soft menthol, banana, pepper, and soap is what makes it special. Not much more to say. Scent: 7.5/10. Longevity: 6/10. Sillage: 4/10. Trail: 5/10. Value: 5/10. Blind buy: 6.5/10. Season: warm climates/summer.
I’ve never been a fan of the Armani Code line, but this one caught me off guard. It’s a fresh take that saves you from the cloying, ugly vanilla found in the others. Perfect for summer and spring, it’s super versatile. A blind buy that turned out amazing, even though I’m not usually a fan of Blue de Chanel; I actually think this is much better than that. It could use a bit more longevity, but hey, that’s what you get.
I bought it this afternoon after testing it several times. It reminds me a lot of the original Code but is a few points fresher, ideal for summer nights rather than days, though that’s relative. I was surprised that the longevity seems like an EDP and not an EDT. I would buy it again when these 125ml run out.
Armani Code Cologne is the forgotten flanker in the Code line. Not much is said about it. Personally, it doesn’t stand out much, but everyone who has smelled it says it’s pleasant, which I agree with. It has a sweet citrus freshness with a mentholated touch, settling into a dry down far removed from the classic Code. Ideal for spring and summer (I’d hesitate above 27-30°C). It’s quite versatile: daily wear, office, casual outings, or dates in spring/summer afternoons. Longevity is between 5-7 hours. I’d recommend it for ages 20 and up; it has a young adult vibe. Pros: generally more affordable than other versions, if you like the Code this is its fresher version, it’s not mass-produced, and it generally pleases everyone. Cons: it smells good without more, it doesn’t bring any novelty.
A total discovery for me. An absolute wonder without holding back. A fragrance with the Code DNA boosted by a fresh, citrusy touch that turns it into an elegant, subtle, and clean juice. This is class, sobriety, and seduction on all sides; women love it. It adds fantastic performance: projects clearly for 3 hours and lasts over 8 hours effortlessly. Ideal all year round except extreme heat due to that tiny sweet note. If you get the chance, don’t think twice. Armani Code Cologne is one of those undervalued perfumes because it’s a bit away from the masses.
Pleasant and elegant. About 6 hours of longevity, projection to the shoulders; it’s discreet but rich.
Great perfume; it keeps the classic Code DNA but is versatile for everyday wear (not in extreme heat). I own the discontinued Code Sport and now I understand why it was replaced by this in 2017; it feels like the same vibe, same longevity, and outstanding sillage for a casual fragrance. Here, it’s 20-39 degrees year-round, making the heavy classic Code impossible for evening dates. With this Cologne, I’m glad I can use it daily, so I’m ditching the classic and sticking with this and the Sport. Treat it with a bit more care since I don’t think I can get it again.
White floral, citrusy, and sweet without being cloying. A generic proposal that fits the line of a Lacoste Blanc without sounding synthetic.
The DNA of the original Code is clearly there, but the Cologne is different. The balsamic and spicy accords are balanced, with a heliotrope giving it a notable talcum powder touch. While the original is sensual for night, this is sweet and fresh for day. Its key is persistence and the sweet-amber contrast. I wished the bergamot freshness lasted longer, but on my skin it lasts 6-7 hours. Ideal for a well-dressed, elegant man. If you like the Code, this is a safe bet, especially compared to the absurd resale prices of the original. PD: It’s called Cologne but is really an EdT.
Sweet but not gourmand; only the opening is citrusy, then it settles into sweeter, floral components. I don’t smell that much of the ‘banana oil’ others mention, but it’s excellent for the office. A great flanker.
Salvia, banana, and pink pepper at the start. It’s a bizarre plastic fruit sensation but executed brilliantly. The dry down is sweet but not heavy. Quite good for its uniqueness and decent longevity for such a fresh scent. I wouldn’t recommend it because you’ll fall in love with it and then it’ll be discontinued. Despite that, it’s very good.
Perfect blend of freshness and elegance; it has that classic Armani sophistication but feels lighter and more accessible. I love the citrus notes with a spicy twist, and the tonka bean adds a lovely warmth. Ideal for day or night to project confidence without being overpowering. Lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin.
