Armani Code Absolu

It fills every box for the best fragrance ever and i still don’t like it .. too sweet and weirdly perfect i just don’t know how to describe it ( it had a rum note but removed it from the notes breakdown )

I have a 100ml bottle with 70-80% full. Willing to trade up with some cash for a Parfums de Marley Althair.

i got a 2.5 tester 99% message me if interested

I don’t know if I got a bad batch, but this one is just OK to me and I really don’t smell much vanilla, and people reference this as an absolute vanilla powerhouse. Definitely like a date night fragrance to me, but I never reach for it and there are so many other better options.

Gone but not forgotten. My favourite Armani by far :(

Shahrazad by Ard al zaafaran is a very good clone of this and super cheap too

#Fragrance Journey 15 This is easily the best winter fragrance I own, I’ve only got about 20–30ml left in the bottle and I’m honestly trying to get as much mileage as I can with what is left. It’s a real treasure, since it’s discontinued, I only bring it out during fall and winter for special occasions. I know there’s a dupe called Harmony Code Absolute by Fragrance World, that I’ll have to try at some point but this one, ACA, is on another level, just a true masterpiece especially for a designer, this stuff packs a punch. It doesn’t fall into that overly sweet, generic gourmand vanilla dry down that’s everywhere right now. The vanilla here is smooth, refined, and blended perfectly, lasting more than 9+hrs, with great projection. Masterpiece. 10/10.

Smells like Le Male Elixir but more powdery & with an added apple note. Very nice fragrance though. Apple, vanilla, suede & orange blossom pretty much sums up this fragrance.

Goated fragrance, nothing gets you more compliments than this

So I'm not a fan of amber dominant fragrances but this is quality. It does smell similar to Montblanc legend night and YSL la nuit de l'homme. Although this has more depth and a much better blend with higher quality ingredients. But if you can't find this and you're on a budget then check those out. YSL la nuit and Montblanc Legend night are super close in smell. I'd recommend Legend night based on price, and it's a good performer too It's also in the same wheelhouse as D&G The one This has a nice leather note in it that is reminiscent of like actual genuine raw hide leather. I'm assuming that's the suede note. Which is very manly actually. But I wish they would have dialed up that note and dialed down the sweetness a bit. Anyway if you want to smell like a sweet and seductive manly man then this might be for you Out of all the amber dominant fragrances I've owned this one is probably the highest quality overall It has a somewhat similar sweet DNA like Code edt to my nose. I have not smelled Colonia so I can't compare. But Code edt smells similar to my nose to cream soda. Like a vanilla cream soda. Whereas this one smells in the ballpark of root beer, but still has that sweet creamy note in the DNA. This smells like a sweet, sticky, syrupy root beer amber with a slight bit of leather and a little pepper. Definitely a lot of vanilla and tonka in the base as well. some people might find it overly sweet and slightly cloying, but it's not too overwhelming. If you like sweet fragrances then this is definitely for you Pound for pound it's pretty nice. Problem is I'm just not an amber note guy, and I'm not a huge fan of sweet fragrances either. Nor am I huge on vanilla for that matter. I got this early on in my collection journey based off of the hype and it never wowed me. Now that I'm older and wiser and know what notes I prefer I probably wouldn't buy this again I think people should wear what they personally like and not just wear stuff for women. But with that said I think women will love this on a man. It's definitely strictly date night tonic. Really no other occasion to be wearing this It does remind me a little bit of Paco Rabanne Victory edt, but I like that one better than this It does seem to be pretty darn strong performance wise. I get nice projection from it for the first few hours. Your date will definitely smell you scent-7/10 performance-7/10 value-7/10 versatility-4/10 overall-6/10

I've got a full bottle of this. I'm not a fan of amber dominant fragrances so if anyone wants to trade I might be interested. Except sadly the only thing I'd be interested in trading it for is Mugler Pure Malt

I have 60ml left out of my 100ml bottle. This is one the best smelling bottles I’ve ever owned. Willing to sell it hit me up asap🔥

ACA is one of the best cold weather frags I own. Amazing scent and performs well too! I really wish I had a full bottle because my decant is almost gone! This is Christmas 🎄

I like this. Quite a bit. Yes, it's a fairly mainstream masculine perfume - musky base, pepper tones, and a clean, fresh citric top, with subtle flower notes to add contrast and interest, but it is really well done. It feels sexy so makes me feel sexy. It is smooth and well made, so feels classy. And its familiar structure means it has a broad acceptance, and so doesn't make me feel too individual or odd. It's not going to be my signature scent, nor is it going to be one I select to wear with close friends, or to meet someone special, but when going to meet some everyday people, and wishing to be acceptable and blend in, this works. Good for weddings and funerals and Christmas office parties. Wear this and a clean pair of underpants, and who knows what will happen. ;-)

But why armani? This is 1 of your best fragrance you idio.., such a nice creamy scent Bring it back !! @armani

Where the heck can I get a hold of this? Is it permanently discontinued?

I really hope they bring this fragrance back. So many people asking for this to return, it has to happen someday.

A more versatile JPG elixir, smells great for 5-7hrs depending on the weather. Definitely lasts too I wish this wasn’t discontinued so you could pick it up for a decent price but the code DNA lives on in the slightly less vanilla EDP so I guess after we run through this we head straight to that lol

One of the best Thanksgiving and Christmas scents I have. Effervescent and smooth. Like a warm hug. GF absolutely loves it on me. I have a back up 200ml that I can't see myself ever getting to use all of if interested.

Finally the season to wear this. One of my favorite all time scents. I stocked up before it was discontinued. I've been through 2 100ml bottles over the years. I've never tried a clone. Hopefully I have a lifetime supply.

I’m addicted to that fresh accord you get in this fragrance… what an absolute masterful blend. I need to find more wearable fresh and spicy orientals…

I normally DISLIKE Vanilla Scents and CANNOT stand tonka spices... but... Armani Code can blend so magically well vanilla and spices and... I LOVE this sexyness!!! Creamy but with a hint of oranges warmness. My mother HATES it, yeah, is quite suffocating and too buttery, and i have my days, only on cold windy nights i use it, on "humid" days is terribly cloying. But is really sexy i dont recommend as a special gift because this type of creamy scents are NOT well received considering is cloying. But i love it, cozy elegant like a sophisticated "merengue pie" yummy!

The best vanilla of all time sweet yet classy but also more masculine then feminine this is in it's own world it's a shame to be discontinued.

All I have to say at this time since I'm still testing it, is the performance is crazy, especially the sillage. You get that Code DNA from a few feet away, and closer up some of the apple and orange blossom peeks through. Wonderful fragrance and likely worth discontinued prices if you dig the scent.

If anyone in the UK wants a full 60ml bottle of code Absolu please DM me - thanks 👍

Armani Code Absolu by the renowned fashion house Giorgio Armani, designed specifically for men, is a fragrance that captivates with its luscious sweetness. However, caution is advised when applying this scent, as the number of sprays should be carefully controlled; too much of this potent juice can lead to an uncomfortable headache. On the bright side, this alluring fragrance has the power to garner numerous compliments and attention, as it undoubtedly did for me during the times I wore it. Unfortunately, despite my desire to own a bottle of this exquisite elixir, it has been discontinued, leaving me longing for its presence in my collection. Where it is still available, sellers have priced it exorbitantly, treating it as though it were rare treasure, likened to gold, making it nearly unaffordable for enthusiasts who wish to bask in its aromatic glory.

Sweet root beer or cherry soda amber, and pepper so strong it almost burns my eyes. Nearly smells like gasoline.

Disgusting, overpowering vanilla that lasts forever. Do not recommend.

I’m based in the UK and have a 60ml bottled - DM me if interested 👍

It smells even better now knowing that it's discontinued.
