Giorgio Armani Code — Type Formula
The original seducer: fresh lemon and bergamot over olive blossom, guaiac wood and a warm tonka-tobacco base.
Armani Code, launched in 2004, opens with bright lemon and bergamot over aromatic anise. An olive-blossom heart descends into guaiac wood, tonka bean, leather and a soft tobacco warmth for signature evening allure.
