[@lennypignatello7493]

I agree with you it is kind of weak it does have great performance though 10 to 12 hours I get out of it at least

[@edwong4178]

Understated elegance. This is for the quietly confident and self-assured who do not need to command attention by shouting from the rooftops.

[@ricar_vic]

I think the problem is that you initially started comparing it to Dior Homme Parfum. Why? It doesn’t have to be similar at all!!! You got biased from the beginning without giving it chance to stand for what it is!!

[@will659]

This guy just likes old people fragrances

[@nixland]

​@@will659he hates Versace Dylan Blue 😂

[@bodyemcal]

Dylan blue is fire!!! ​@@nixland

[@yassver]

True

[@MarkTomeh]

Comparing to DHP? Ya I don't think Sebastian is who Armani is marketing to.

[@michaelesquivel9206]

No, I am not bored with it, I love it and think it is the best from the line. I think it is strong enough not to be overwhelming so as not to choke anyone out. I love the iris note that flankers do not have and love that it is not too powdery. I love the way the citrus lives throughout the life of the wear and I feel this is so versatile, you can wear it all year round for all occasions. I am glad I picked it up and I will be wearing it for a while. Will definitely be in my daily rotation.

[@deniskraussner6425]

True

[@jaypohl9651]

Agreed

[@jonathandaniel1635]

Indeed i just bought it on macys and its gonna be one of my signature scent

[@jonathandaniel1635]

@@brian_fantana the drydown was way sweeter and nicer even tho it is pricy

[@diogoalgarvio3284]

I bought it 2 weeks ago. This one just gets me compliments like nothing else. I think i got more compliments in this last 2 weeks than the rest of the year, no joke

[@michael7286]

I've just bought the new Armani Code Parfum. I like it as it's a nice smelling casual fragrance that is not over powering. Over Powering = Stand Off. Not Over Powering = Stand Closer.

[@James7995]

I was ready to write this off after all the influencers trashed it. Then I wore for it a day (got a sample at Macy’s) and it was incredibly pleasant and developed well with my skin. A ton of people are really going to dig it. It is a perfect office scent. It’s durability is incredible.

[@jokaasama1529]

He trashed it because he thought it was gonna be a deep dark iris fragrance like dior homme parfum, i think his expectations beat him on that one but its a good versitile elegant fragrance if it was deep and dark it would only be for winter. Its for every season and every occasion.

[@OmarZ77]

I actually found most influencers praising it, but I tried it and found it predictable and underwhelming. Not far from Le Male Le Parfum which itself isn’t far from most modern sweet vanilla/tonka scents. Nothing new

[@SherlockDave]

@@OmarZ77 It reminds you of le male le parfum, right?

[@lakan3337]

This isn’t really an office scent but it’s so weak so you can use it as office scent

[@linuscarlcaabay9804]

okay but I was wondering how’s the sillage of this? I was planning to buy but I want to know how the sillage of this performs.

[@stephenpatton703]

armani code absolut is stunning, spicy, warm, rich and sweet…. am shocked you think its not strong, i reslly like the parfum and its strong to me

[@kellyjacobs4114]

This fragrance is AMAZING! Long lasting and beautiful.

[@Dudeawesome2331]

I received a 1.2mL free sample of this, and I wasn't expecting anything but it is great! Code DNA with powdery iris just works for me. I don't think it is fair to compare any fragrance to Dior Homme Parfum though. At least pick one from the same brand.

[@zenluvsfun]

I recently tried a whole slew of highly recommended designer frags, and the only ones I could even smell were two celebrities (Rihanna Rebl fleur and Ariana Cloud 2.0). I was so shocked! I haven’t used designer in years, and I’m glad I didn’t. I also got a set of samples from Fragrance Du Bois, and some of them were way too weak!

[@MarkTomeh]

I think "Parfum" has become more of a marketing term than actual concentration. Only us fragheads understand fragrance concentration.

[@timlever1651]

Sounds like you went in with the expectation that it was going to be on the level of Dior Homme Parfum and that was a mistake.

[@SherlockDave]

True that!

[@Jespher1]

This is the best in the series for sure. By far. Feels more refined and just more lovable.

[@MRJLS15]

So so excited for this review I am anxiously awaiting my bottle in the mail I purchased on launch

[@liana.ohanyan]

Love your comments Sebastian, thanks for informative contents you make. I really need your opinion about Vertus " Oriental Rose" , is it worth buying?

[@ariasd2006]

Just bought the Dior Homme after watching your video, but will probably return it. I’m not appreciating the dry down. It’s a bit too botanical for me and I would have appreciated a bit more wood or musk. Great smell non the less. But I did also buy the Dior Savage Elixir for about $230, $80 more than Dior Homme, and I’m absolutely loving it. It’s for light spicy woody musk smell that is lovely. It’s heavily oil based as well.

[@FarzadCheema]

Dior Savage Elixir is a Masterpiece. It's my new favourite fragrance.

[@robertpaulchampagne27]

Can you say the same thing about Sauvage Parfum? I recently just picked it up but I feel it doesn’t have that punch like the EDP version.

[@Masterme733]

I agree with you, i smelled this when i was in Spain and i felt like it's quite weak. I was really dissapointed so i end up buying the Emporio Armani Stronger With You over this.

[@PeterPalDesign]

Great review, nice description. Subscribed. Keep up the good work.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day

[@user-zl6wo4vk1m]

The only reviewer of perfumes who has credibility and does not compliment the perfume, because it is very shy, and many reviewers say that it is very strong, and do not over spray the perfume.

[@jonathantipke1655]

I guess we’ll just have to wait for the “elixir” version and see if that one will live up to what Dior can accomplish

[@redwave198]

It's Code Absolu that is the star of the series in my opinion - it's the only one that performs on me - granted I have not tried the newer EDP version.

[@jdmb03]

$165 eight months ago. Now $182 in May 2023. Crazy!

[@dru812002]

Can you test it for a few days and update us if anything changes?

[@sipandsniff1744]

Speculate much 🤧🤣🤣🤣 I like it well enough. But comparing it to Dior homme parfum is like comparing apples to school buses 🤷🏼‍♂️.. I picked this up to replace my empty code Profumo . I Dig It✅

[@sipandsniff1744]

...... I rate all my scents by the simple test... Apply it before bed to pulse points,... And if it's still present in the morning, then it's above average . This is above average in my book. P

[@the_elder_wand3845]

I can’t even find Dior Homme Parfum. Where to buy it?

[@MarkTomeh]

Sebastian I smelled this today. It's definitely light but it smells great man. Ya it's nothing like Dior Homme Parfum or those stronger type parfums. It's actually fresh and a little powdery and could be worn all year I think.

[@elfillari]

Dior HP is a masterpiece for shure, but comparing Armani Code Parfum to it is similar comparing V8 to Tesla!😂 Both ARE masterpieces but targeted to total different consumer sectors! Sebastian maybe got wrong with his criticism in the first place, eventough he is a masterpiece himself to state these fragrances coming and going!👍

[@Loricstone]

I’m surprised you have not smelled the Profumo and Absolu versions as those two are far and away the best. Absolu is my fave as it has a delicious gourmand type of experience.

[@Hollisty]

The dry down is the best part of this

[@DrRDW]

The dry down smells like Le Male Le Parfum.

[@Dadddy408]

Wait what fragrance are you comparing? You never mentioned it

[@SarBdsh.392]

Hi Seb, the bottle look great! Let’s see how it smell like …

[@rob409BOI]

I just watched Ashton and Sebastian back to back and they were completely opposite reactions. I'm definitely curious to try this now.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Thank you.

[@abdelazizslama6402]

I am not a fan of Armani house even their ADG line and flankers, i have an idea for you, which flanker series are you fan of? I like the dior homme, Guerlain l’Homme ideale!

[@benjaminceballos165]

Mr perfume guy you are like me I don't take nothing but the best I think designer fragances are about the easy money thank you for your honest review, saludos from San Jose ca

[@geteverydollar7834]

Come back to wearing this one , it’s clean beautiful scent . You will like it .

[@viggenone]

I leaved Armani in the past a long time ago, I don't spend my money in their fragrances anymore, I'm not even interested in the Stronger with You series, I keep the good memories of the original Acqua di Gio and Essenza, of which I still have almost a full bottle. Thank God there are still designer fragrances that worth it, can't wait for the new releases from Dior. Thank you Sebastian!!!

[@ballsofsteel777]

I think the best Flanker is Code Absolu. Can you try that one and give your review?

[@WhatsTheT]

Thank you so so so much for your honest opinion. I read the Fragrantica reviews and a lot of people were saying the same thing about the lack of depthless.

[@therealParisHilton]

How about stronger with you oud? When will you do a review of it? Are you aware that there is a stronger with you oud flanker?

[@DanJD1255]

Armani Code Ultimate was their best from all the Flankers. It has this slight ‘edge’ to it, you definitely get the Code DNA but there’s a certain ‘sharpness’ to it. I’d recommend you grab a bottle if you’re lucky enough to come across it.

[@SherlockDave]

I get great longevity on this one. Projection is more than okay. I don’t know why you don’t feel the same. Maybe skin chemistry?

[@brian_fantana]

Best review on this yet. Overpriced, almost indistinguishable from Code EDP.

[@andreidanielpetre]

Thanks for the review and sorry for the bad experience... Indeed L'Oreal destroys brands and fragrances. Think about Mugler, YSL and Azzaro: most of the good fragrances were axed and what's left it's diluted... All the best and take care!

Well, Code is mostly for office wear, which I used in when I graduated. Very muted and safe for working settings. Nothing memorable but good enough to keep you smelled hygiene. I guess all the code line using the same concept. Muted and safe.

I was not really excited about this one, in fact have even skipped recent videos from other reviewers, just wasn´t interested. But yours made me curious: maybe this one from Armani will manage to wow Sebastian? Let's see... Well, not surprised it disappointed you big time. Armani is one brand that has never been compelling enough for me. I don't really dislike any of their fragrances (that I've smelled,) but so far have never felt compelled to pull the trigger on absolutely any of their offerings. What I would be really excited about would be any new release from Chanel.

Armani…an elegant clothier but his perfumes always seemed weak and underwhelming, except for the prices, which are overwhelming in price but weak in reality. Just my opinion.
