The review

Worth a try. That is where Bound lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Armani Code Profumo.

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

At $49 per 100ml it costs 55% less than Armani Code Profumo — 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.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Sapil 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: cardamom and green mandarin up top, orange blossom, nutmeg and lavender in the middle, Tonka Bean, amber and leather underneath — the shape of Giorgio Armani Code Profumo.

Top

  • cardamom
  • green mandarin

Heart

  • orange blossom
  • nutmeg
  • lavender

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • amber
  • leather
Cardamom and tonka over dark amber, richer and more confident than the original.

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