A modern woody amber that became an instant evening essential, Armani Code Eau de Toilette wraps zesty citrus in a suave cloak of aromatic nuance and sensual warmth. Bright lemon and bergamot create a crisp first impression before a refined heart of olive blossom and star anise emerges, resting on a smooth base where leather, tonka bean, and tobacco lend depth, magnetism, and a quietly confident trail.

Story and Positioning
Conceived as the scent equivalent of a sharp tuxedo, Armani Code Eau de Toilette channels Italian tailoring into fragrance form. It speaks to after-dark elegance and effortless charm, combining clean citrus clarity with a mellow tonka and leather undertone that feels polished rather than loud. As a flagship of the Armani Code line, it sits alongside later interpretations such as Profumo, Absolu, and Parfum, offering the most classic take on the Code signature that many reach for when the dress code reads refined and the mood is confident.
Bottle and Design
A tall column of deep midnight blue glass rises with sleek simplicity, cinched at the waist by a satin-like band that recalls a tuxedo cummerbund. The black lacquered cap crowns the silhouette, while the understated Armani wordmark keeps the presentation minimal, masculine, and quietly luxurious. The bottle feels substantial in hand and looks at home on a well curated dresser.
