Looking for a very good scent for a man who likes armani code

Hello!

I am looking for a stunning scent for my brother (38) as a birthday gift. He wants Armani code. But is this scent now something special? I do not think more.

For a clue, there were times, he loved cool water and ultraviolet man. He also loves axe dark temptation. (currently, he uses only this)

someone has an idea what might please him?

I am very grateful for help.

Rochas Man, A*Men, Lolita Lempicka au Masculin, YSL La Nuit l'Homme and Body Kouros would be places to start.
A*Men in particular smells like Dark Temptation.

Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de L'Homme will be really a good choice for you

is an improved version of Code, and less expensive too.

thank you for your ideas, what could go.

A fragrance he doesn't like is for example Gaultier Le male, for a clue.

If he wants Armani Code, I'd get him that one. The choice for a scent is very personal. By getting something else, you'll have the chance he will not like it...

+1 What would make this particular 'Armani Code' special is that you actually listened.

I also think you should get him what he wants: Armani Code. It is mainstream, but not bad or annoying.

Agreed to just get him the Code, but keep La Nuit de L'Homme and Body Kouros in mind for his next birthday or Christmas gift.

I would have to agree. Buy him what he wants this time - the Armani Code - and then you can begin researching other fragrances he might like, and purchase a surprise for him for Christmas or his next birthday.

Some similar scents to Armani Code may be Banderas Black Seduction or Escada Magnetism. With it in mind that he likes Axe's Dark Temptation (which I think is one of the best body sprays ever, myself) He may like Rochas as somebody else mentioned. I think if he likes Code, that stuff like Le Male or A*Men would be to powerful for his liking. So +1 to Rochas, Code is still good and in style but I'd recommend ordering it online for a fraction of the price. If you need any advice on where to order it from, you could ask a fellow Basenoter.
