    The lemon and bergamot opening is accurate and starts off somewhat nicely. The dry down, however, is less desireable: the result is a pungent, peppery amalgam with a slight bitter citrus note blended in. Even when applied moderately, it burns the nostrils. I don't like this one much but I wear it because I have a bottle lying around. I did receive a compliment on this scent today from a woman at my office. Apparently she really likes it. The projection must be adequate. I would not buy this one again. As a side note, longevity is now at 5 and a half hours and still going.

    I got this fragrance as a gift and I must say I really like it.
    To me it has a musky lemon smell with an almost leather quality to it. As it drys down it begins to smell like a mixture of lemon and vanilla. I would say this is a good fragrance for everyday wear but would also work well on a date to the cinema.

    The projection on this fragrance is quite good and so is the longevity and most of all it smells good.

    My score: Projection 8.5/10
    longevity 8.5/10
    fragrance 8.5/10

    I don't really like the idea of this, a modern generic safe scent but in the end it just smells too good to give it anything but the thumbs up. Once it settles it blends perfectly and feels like I have the just the best smelling skin. Lasts pretty well, though I am not sure about the projection..

    Armani Code to me smells like a mixture of bitter orange and powder.

    What i hated about it is that it has a below average projection and lasts on my skin for 3 hrs max and on my shirt for 6 hrs+ dats all.

    Not worthy of a thumbsup from my side.

    Armani Code/Black Code by Giorgio Armani - The opening is a citrusy duet of lemon and bergamot. The heart insinuates nicely, adding hints of sweetness, spice and floral, from its star anise and olive tree blossom components. Strengthening, this stirring middle adds a more pronounced powdery sweet flavor, and a faint, smoky chocolate note. The enchanting base, with its tonka bean and guiac wood, overtakes the fragrance, kidnapping the light floral, and adds a creaminess and aridness, as well as a light smokiness, to its comforting drydown. This robust composition is an all-season and sensual scent. Regrettably, its longevity and projection leave much to be desired.

    Smell very good and sensual. I can smell lime and dark, sweet and powdery notes from vanilla.
    I have a special feeling when I'm wearing this but longevity and projection are not that good!
    It last for about 3 hour on my skin and project only in the first hour. then it's a skin scent for sure.
    You can use it on fall, winter and spring and I think it's a little strong for hot summer days.
    Neutral rating because of bad longevity and projection which is important to me!
