The review
Worth a try. That is where Alpha Code lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Armani Code Parfum.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Armani Code Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 51% less than Armani Code Parfum — the 2nd cheapest of 2 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.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes 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
What it is chasing: bergamot and bergamot leaf up top, iris, aldehydes and clary sage in the middle, Tonka Bean and cedar underneath — the shape of Giorgio Armani Code Parfum.
Top
- bergamot
- bergamot leaf
Heart
- iris
- aldehydes
- clary sage
Base
- Tonka Bean
- cedar
Aldehydic iris laid over tonka and cedar — the most grown-up and best-executed Code of the modern run.
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 2 twins of Giorgio Armani Code Parfum we can price, Alpha Code is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Bujairami Black Tie $33/100ml
- 02 HK Perfumes Alpha Code $64/100ml
