Giorgio Armani unveils Armani Code Eau de Parfum, a compelling and vibrant intensity, encapsulated in the iconic Armani Code refillable bottle.
A fougère ambery spicy fragrance that opens with a faceted freshness with notes of green mandarin and unfolds into a spicy and woody heart of nutmeg essence. A masculine sensuality emerges from the fragrance’s base through a rich and warm tonka bean absolute.
GREEN MANDARIN ESSENCE
Armani Code EAU DE PARFUM opens with a fresh and vibrant green mandarin essence, sourced from Italy, which brings a distinctive tangy effect to the fragrance. This essence is obtained by grating the zest of the mandarin fruit under running water, with the essence then separated from the water.
NUTMEG ESSENCE
The heart of the fragrance is composed of a warm and spicy nutmeg essence. The nutmeg essence, derived from the fruit of the nutmeg trees, is obtained via a meticulous drying and steam distillation process, to create its warm, spicy, and woody note.
TONKA BEAN ABSOLUTE
A warm, sensual masculinity is revealed in the fragrance’s base notes, which spotlight the richness of tonka bean absolute. Creating a honeyed tobacco note with milky undertones, the tonka bean absolute is derived from the fruit of the Dipterix odorata tree. The fruits are harvested just as they fall from the tree and undergo a drying process to allow the development of the coumarin molecule, that lends tonka its scent. The absolute is then obtained using a solvent extraction method.

Giorgio Armani is an Italian fashion designer particularly noted for his menswear. Armani started his career as designer of shop-windows in a department store and worked his way up to menswear buyer. From 1960 to 1972 he worked as a designer for the well-known house of Nino Cerutti and then worked as an independent designer for a number of fashion houses before founding his own brand. He presented his first collection of men's clothing in 1975, followed by a line for women that same year. Armani gained a wider audience for his work with the popular movie "American Gigolo," in which Richard Gere's character wore chic Armani designs. This was to be the first of many future film collaborations.
