NEW Armani Code Parfum FIRST IMPRESSIONS - This Code SLAPS!

[@Memfys]

I love the new bottle design, looks classy. Kinda similar to Sauvages. Magnetic caps are king.

[@Jimbo_Jumbo]

It's nice but the old bottle was more unique

[@nyuu444]

Like the old bottle wish it had a magnetic cap

[@Memfys]

@@Jimbo_Jumbo Definitely.

[@jezebulls]

Old bottle looks dated and like a dumbbell

[@TrustNoOne88]

I agree I enjoy the fresh new look. The old bottle was dated and kinda was feminine like a hips on a women lol. And I hated the old cap I could never get it lined up str8. This new one is perfectly round simple..

[@tonygoodtimeboyz]

Armani is probably the most solid overall house. None of their releases are bad, all of their lines are solid(ADG, Code, SWY, etc…) They may not be my absolute favorite fragrances, but they almost never put out a bad smelling fragrance.

[@Sai-wf8pz]

could not agree more! may not be the most original or groundbreaking fragrances but all of them are solid and smell great. very easy to wear. dumb reach fragrances

[@floppermopper]

Pretty sure they changed the bottle because they wanted it to be refillable like many other brands are doing now

[@JerrellHardison]

All sizes are refillable too

[@LA-st6dq]

I'm sure they could made the OG bottle refillable.. just make the sprayer turnable. The OG design is iconic you know its Armani Code whoever you are. Symbolizing a tuxedo (with a strap since 2015?). But this new bottle is just another bottle..

[@ryansmurda1552]

@@LA-st6dq i agree. I always liked the old code bottles. Not crazy about the new bottles I could care less if they are refillable.

[@LA-st6dq]

@@ryansmurda1552 Yeah, the same.. I don't know if the refill tanks actually sell but I could care less of the intention behind it because I don't feel like getting the 300ml for 200+$€£ refill bottle to refill my 30/60ml/... bottle if I don't even know if I will use up the fragrance that soon. Technically price-wise and of course for the sake of nature it might make sense at some time and point. But sometimes large bottles have crazy discouns that buying 3x 100ml turns out cheaper than getting the refill. I also doubt the refill decrease production of the regular glasses, because they produce millions of them anyways daily to secure the supply in the future. Maybe many years ahead once it caught up that the demand had been covered and people started getting the refill instead of a new single bottle everytime - but thats a long process until it benefits. In Germany for example different types of glass are recyceld, cleaned and melt over and over to produce new glass products... so the impact really depends on many factors.

[@chase_manhattan5367]

Yeah he said tht

[@Hitman-316]

I absolutely LOVE it... Bought the 4.2 and I'm so glad I did. Gorgeous scent, literally may be one of my favorites this year

[@marshjj3788]

Do you get a zesty coca cola vibe as well well or is it just me?

[@raphael9197]

What’s the performance for u?

[@DanielElixer]

Broke down and bought the 125ml bottle today.....this smells amazing. Comes off more mature than Code EDT, perfect since I'm pushing forty😂. The opening does come off super fresh and then dries down a little darker but refined. The code DNA is still there from the first spray, it was immediately noticeable. 30 min into the dry down it comes off slightly soapy to me when smelled up close but from a distance it comes off more powdery. To me it seems like the Tonka bean isn't as in your face as the rest of the Code line. Overall a great addition to the code family.

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

Yeah, I'd definitely question pulling it off if I was still a 22 yo old as opposed to hitting 30s or 40s. It's *great* for a 30 something or 45 yo. It just smells like pure class in a bottle and I'd like to make it one of my new signatures. That and MIB at night, sounds like how I want my 40s to smell basically. Code EDT definitely smells way more boyish, and so too does Profumo, they basically both smell like a college boy finishing his undergrad. Parfum smells like a committee meeting.

[@brianbee]

I felt safe on doing a blind buy of this after some reviews like yours. I just got my bottle today. It is freaking amazing!!!!!

[@thedayidied]

I really love the Parfum. I've smelled every single fragrance in the Code line save a few (Absolu Gold, Colonia and funny enough, the EDT). Up till this point, I loved the EDP most. But now that I have the Parfum, it's a tough one. I think the EDP is more unique smelling, but it doesn't have that staying power that the Parfum has. The EDP lasts maybe 6 hours, whereas the Parfum lasts for at LEAST 10 - 12 hours. Great scent overall, very glad I got it. Also, the Parfum reminds me a little bit of Prada's L'homme L'eau. It's like if Code EDP and L'homme L'eau had a beautiful love child together.

[@DaveyAMG]

Macys was having a sale on the original Armani Code EDT Always wanted it so couldn’t pass up the $57 sale just opened it up and it’s the PARFUM instead 😂 Thank you Macys! 4.2 Parfum for $60 💪🏼

[@ivanrayanguiano3217]

Hope my local Macy’s has that sale going on, I’ll cap a few of them mofos.

[@galslovveme]

lol ya it's pretty much very similar to EDT in scent but stronger performance imo

[@jacknjill3000]

So the box was mislabeled? I’m looking for the sampler and saw the photo of the new bottle, but they were either the EDP, EDT and Parfum. So now I’m looking for the Parfum label on the box to get the new version. Seems like they are using the new bottle for all the samples.

[@alejandrocastillo5771]

You said it perfectly Ash. New bottle sophisticated but the old style had its style and you could tell easily that the fragrance was an Armani Code due to the bottle.

[@damncidd]

Love the new bottle, and love the fragrance even more! I have my blues, and this is such a pleasant change of pace from them when I wear it.

[@KeeganRusz]

I always liked the elegance and simplicity of the code bottles.

[@puranjanchatterjee4097]

I'm wearing this one in summer and people are actually loving it

[@SWTmel]

Definitely can get away with it in the summer... Agree! All year round really!

[@dav3has1nk16]

Just got mine today, can't wait to give it a full day wear tomorrow, that opening is fantastic and the drydown is a beautiful soft iris

[@ashooralbert7342]

Picked this up today at full retail price I love it opening thru dry down also projects very well

[@stefanassmann7082]

It is a pity that the old design is not continued. In perfume stores, you could immediately tell by the shape where Armani fragrances are. But now it looks quite boring, more like a redesigned Dior Sauvage bottle.

[@patrickmonkman8151]

It was recognisable but perhaps a little dated

[@jasonbenford3427]

🎯!!! Totally looks like a Sauvage bottle!🤦🏾‍♂️

[@Shnayblay]

@@jasonbenford3427 Looks more classy.

[@jasonbenford3427]

@@Shnayblay Don't get me wrong, ☝🏾 It'll definitely look great on the shelf!👀 (I've never owned Sauvage, was a L.R. Carbon fan)

[@jezebulls]

I kinda like the newer design. It’s more of a squared cylinder rather than a typical circular one.

[@mr.h.9103]

Just picked this up today and my wife fell in love with it. This will be my go to fall/winter fragrance this year.

[@ТарасЛевченко-ь5л]

Does it smell like dior sauvage ?

[@ΑβρααμΠαπαδοπουλος-β9χ]

This is totally a cold weather frag. Longevity is huge on my skin, 13-15 hours. Definitely a night / date scent for me and not for office use as it's super strong. Classy package, worth to buy.

[@marcopingitore6828]

I mean, I would consider wearing it in uni aswell... I love it anyway. I think I'll buy it

[@seekeroftruth45]

its a definite office scent. Just not a light one.

[@galslovveme]

I'm not sure how you're spraying it but it doesn't seem like a strong scent on me or I'm probably nose blind to this scent

[@brandonhanks8693]

I do get some elements of Prada L’Homme. I just got this in the mail today and I’m a few hours into it now. Oh wow. This one is going to work with me tomorrow.

[@Ajibolaa]

I loveeeeeeee this new design and the juice is also to die for. It made me an iris lover that’s for sure. I’ve gone through 3 bottles so far since I found this perfume. Really amazing concoction.

[@TerrainJeremy3945]

I'm on my 3rd bottle as well and man I can't get enough of this one. Solid perfectly blended release. Beautiful women love it as well.

[@Ajibolaa]

@@TerrainJeremy3945 same here third bottle as well. I’d have loved he juice to be a bit stronger but my love for this juice overpowers that thought. What do you think about DHP?

[@dannyphantom6006]

Just ordered mine this morning. I have the edp but this will be my first parfum. I love Armani code

[@mvr2579]

I've had a tester of this for a month or so. Longevity is very long but it sits close to the skin. I think it is a perfect work/office scent. I do go nose blind to it from time to time but then I'll catch a waft even 6 to 8 hours later.

[@brucewayne3227]

Any compliments?

[@DeadliestEvil]

I just bought this trolling macys w some money in my pocket lol. I love this, I love iris and I love that it’s still a bit dark. Really refreshing from all the blue clean stuff all the other houses have been putting out. Great review man 👍🏽

[@MikeMejia90]

Don't hold me to this, but I got word that Macy's is going to have a sale on fragrances from 8/25 - 8/27. Some might be in store only. So, if you're planning on getting the new Parfum, this would be the best time before they hit discounters!

[@carlz28]

Just got my bottle from Macy’s today. My skin loves this fragrance. Smells incredible. Been walking around at a family picnic in the sun on an 85° day and it’s working well. Not beast mode silage or projection, but definitely noticeable. Longevity is about average with mostly a skin scent after 5hrs. That’s strictly on skin. Maybe lasts longer on clothes. Blind bought this from your review. Worth it. Thanks Ash.

[@ClassyScents23]

I got one full hour of average projection then boom, stuck close to working he skin for the next 5 hours! Amazing scent, below average performance! Of this had better performance.. it would easily have been new fragrance of the year!

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

It lasts forever on clothes. You can still smell it the next day, although depending your laundry detergent it can really overemphasize the iris into being an almost soapy smell. On skin, it is a very leathery, classy, Undertow kind of vibe.

[@maximilianrobot]

I think the freshness, and I made this comparison.. It’s like if Armani made an “Orris scented dryer sheet”, with how the Orris/Iris Aldehyde accord works. It adds a touch of the powdery nuances, but the aldehydes and bergamot leaf, add that insane crisp fresh texture…. Either way, copping a 125ml was ABSOLUTELY worth it. Can’t wait to have to order my refill bottle.

[@RadLaxer42]

Even 3-4 hours in, it still has a nice dark almost incense like cloud off skin. I love it

[@michaelesquivel9206]

I purchased it yesterday at Macy's and started wearing it immediately. All I can say is YESSSSSS!!!! I love the nice balance of iris in this formulation, not too much or too little. It projects very well, and the dry down is BEAUTIFUL. This is a must have and I completely agree this is a completely versatile scent.

[@michaelesquivel9206]

Thank you.

[@anotherkys]

I'm a die-hard colonia fan since it's release... Love the warmth of the tonka in the Armani Code Family but the others always were too heavy for a warm climate where I live. Colonia was perfect for it with the freshness of the bergamot. Didn't realise they were gonna be discontinued so ran out to grab a new bottle so I could enjoy it a lil bit more. Might consider this new armani code parfum since it tends fresher than the others... Hopefully I'll find a nice replacement

[@elfillari]

Armani Code Family? Is it a Edt, EdP or Parfum concentration?😉

[@denis3208]

I love the look of bottle, there was nothing wrong with the old ones ... I just ordered the tester I can't wait to try it.

[@randikagunaratne1465]

Considering it's relatively more fresh, I wonder how the longevity will be 🤔. For that price point for a designer, it has to have a longevity of at least 7 hours imo.

[@GrabLifeByDaPoosy]

All of the Armani Code flankers have great performance so I would expect this one to as well. I can easily smell any of the Armani Code flankers on clothing the next day however the EDP released in 2020 seems to be the strongest to me.

The iris hits more like Prada Ocean than L'Homme to me. I get that same grape like fresh fizz. This is like Prada Ocean with some code warmth. Also reminds me of CH bad boy with iris instead of cocoa, same vibe. Way better than any of the frags mentioned though. It is perfection. I am kind of mad because I recently got EDP and this is so much better and more modern.
