The review
Armani Code scores 5.9 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Armani Code.
Palermo Perfumes 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 $33 per 100ml it costs 64% less than Armani Code — the 3rd 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.
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
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. Palermo Perfumes 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.
