Glamorous, mysterious, seductive all describe Armani Code, a captivating orange blossom based scent from Giorgio Armani Fragrance. As one would expect from this master couturier the bottle itself is a gem. Tapering from a weighted base the slim flacon seems to glow as lacquered shades of blue sweep from an early dawn at the bottom of the sleek holder to midnight nearing the top. Adding to the fragrance's intrigue is an oriental effect achieved by lace embroidery on the glass.
The scent is sweet yet sensuous with a sparkle provided by orange zest. With orange blossom at its heart Armani Code is enhanced by Sambac jasmine, Madagascan vanilla and honey. The man in my life called it "delicious," and I do, too. It's now high on my list of favorite fragrances.
