The review
Cardamom And Apple scores 6.0 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Armani Code Profumo.
Swiss Arabian 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.
It is sold as an eau de parfum, the strength most designer originals are sold at.
At $52 per 100ml it costs 53% less than Armani Code Profumo — the 4th cheapest of 5 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 Swiss Arabian 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 Profumo is cardamom and green mandarin at first, orange blossom, nutmeg and lavender at its heart and Tonka Bean, amber and leather at the end. Swiss Arabian set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
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.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 6 twins of Giorgio Armani Code Profumo we can price, Cardamom And Apple is number 4 on price per 100ml.
