Armani Code by Giorgio Armani is a smooth night scent where citrus meets anise and soft leather. Lemon and bergamot give it a clean, brisk opening. Star anise then comes through, with olive blossom and guaiac wood adding a gentle floral warmth. The dry-down settles on leather, tonka bean and tobacco, sweet and quietly rich. Released in 2004, it is usually worn by men who like polish without fuss. Voters reach for it on autumn and winter nights, and it is tidy enough for the office. Most wearers rate its longevity moderate, and there is broad agreement that its sillage is moderate. Give a 10ml decant a few weeks of evenings and workdays before you decide.

The community verdict
For someone drawn to smooth, sensual warmth, Armani Code opens with lemon and bergamot before star anise gives way to leather and tonka bean. Most find both its wear time and projection moderate. It feels at home on winter nights, with autumn evenings working well too.

The house
More from Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani was founded in Italy in 1975 by the designer Giorgio Armani and the architect Sergio Galeotti, around clothes that felt relaxed and quietly elegant. Perfume followed in 1982, and the scents share that restraint. Expect clean citrus from bergamot, lemon and green mandarin, soft lavender and sage, and a comfortable base of vanilla, tonka bean and amber. Si is the one to try first, a woody vanilla with an aromatic edge. Stronger With You Intensely is sweeter and warmer, all vanilla and amber, while Armani Code keeps citrus close to smooth leather. My Way centres on white flowers and tuberose. For something airy, Acqua di Giò Profondo takes a marine, aromatic route. Chestnut and pear turn up here and there, a small quirk of the range.
