The review

On paper, Armani Code A-List is a reasonable bet if you want Armani Code A-List for less.

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

At $23 it costs 72% less than Armani Code A-List.

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

Value8.0
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo 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

The original opens on green mandarin and bergamot, turns to lavender, and settles into Tonka Bean and guaiac wood. That is the brief Armani Code A-List is working from.

Top

  • green mandarin
  • bergamot

Heart

  • lavender

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • guaiac wood
Three-note Code: mandarin, lavender, guaiac. Spare and clean, but thin next to its siblings.

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