The review

Mesmorize scores 4.3 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Armani Code.

AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Armani Code's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $69 per 100ml it costs 23% less than Armani Code — the 5th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Value2.6
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Giorgio Armani Code is bergamot and lemon at first, olive blossom, star anise and guaiac wood at its heart and Tonka Bean, tobacco and leather at the end. AromaPassions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • bergamot
  • lemon

Heart

  • olive blossom
  • star anise
  • guaiac wood

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • tobacco
  • leather
Anise and olive blossom over tonka and tobacco, smooth and reliably seductive.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 7 twins of Giorgio Armani Code we can price, Mesmorize is number 5 on price per 100ml.
