I've been sampling everything for the past few weeks.......Mark Birley......Tea 4Two.....ML......Git.....OV....
Rive Gauche..Kourous......and on and on.......
The one thet blew me away tonight was......Armani Black Code!!!!! Amazing!!!!!!
It has a middle note sort of peppery.....like the original Jacomo De Jacomo....but this is toned down ......
more sexy....subtle.....lingering.......dreamy.......
I'm a fan !!!!!! Finally somrthing that knocked my socks off!!!!

I own this and I do get a pleasure out of wearing it, but I'm not as crazy about it as when I first bought it. I thought it was a great fresh oriental (it is) so I bought it without wearing it, and all I smell is musk and olive on my skin. Not bad, but today I prefer Emporio as far as my Armani taste goes, and Burberry for an oriental tonka cologne.

God tips about the Armani Black Code. Will have to try it. I too was blown away with a sample sent to me today from Viijay -- Geir! I love it.

I'm suprised that Tea for Two didn't do it for you... or even Rive Gauche. Hmm...

I really like Code. It dries down to that nice powdery note. I love powder in a fragrance. It is a little on the expensive side for a designer but it is new so I guess that is why. I would support you buying a whole bottle. Get it man. I love this stuff too and if only I had the money I would own a whole bottle of it....Enjoy...

code didn't do it for me at all. Perhaps it was that vanilla note. I like mania much better

its a decent fragrance but the longevity and sillage are below average. Didnt do much for me.

I too love Armani Code but I find the top a little too sharp, but the dry down is just awesome. But it has no sillage whatsoever, I had to spray like crazy to get some kind of sillage, at least 8 sprays all over my body.

that's because it is made to be that way, a subtle fragrance that stays close to the body and there is no way to make it stronger (not really a clubbing scent more like intimate stuff)

Armani Code was one of the first of my collection, i liked it at the time but Burberry Brit came along and I was digging that for awhile BUT i started wearing Code again and fell in love with it just like you and the big bonus for me was that i realized i will be able to wear Code in the warm/hot weather in the evening while Brit cannot fill that role, great juice...

Please make it another way, that is, stronger! Black Code Extreme or Haute Concentration! I want people around me to smell how good it is.

I am a HUGE fan of Armani Code Pour Homme.... and now Armani Code for Women.
This is a wonderful scent and best of all my Wife Loves when I wear Code for Men.
I am an Armani Fragrance Lover... From Gio all the way to the Prive Line.
