Armani Code Satin

I just miss her so much. Reminds me of that one crazy winter of my life. Compliment getter, will make people fall for you.

Went crazy about it, wore it so much, LOVED it. Such an amazing date scent.

I wish they bring it back one of the best in this line I have the blue one but nothing to compare with the Ginger and chocolate vanilla combination is well blended but in a classy deep way definitely for mature women who likes vanilla in it’s fancy version I am really unlucky not to have one and each times fall into a signature perfume they discontinue it Manifesto elexir Jpg 2 Kenzo elexir D&G red cap Armani code Satin and cashmere Baby doll YSL La belle de Ricci All of them were gone!!! I hate that Stay away from my choices

The best one from the Code line. It literally smells like pasta sokolatina or what would be a triple chocolate cake in English. The cacao, praline, vanilla and patchouli make this one of the best chocolate gourmands and the ginger on top gives it a spicy touch that keeps it out of the cloying territory! It never gets heavy. Really beautiful, they always discontinue the best ones. 😩

I bought my bottle in 2025, it's good but the projection is almost not found, longevity is poor too

This, FOR YEARS, was my go-to perfume. My signature scent. I would get stopped constantly and told I smelled sooooo goood. I’ve been heartbroken even since it got discontinued. I hope one day they bring it back 💕

OMG this is absolutely gorgeous, sexy, beguiling, and classy. I can't get enough. A discontinued gem with great projection, sillage, and longevity.

Holy F&CK!! This is the sexiest gourmand Jasmine I’ve ever smelled. More gourmand and less green than OG Dior Addict. Fantastic siliage for the first 4 hours. So stupid it was discontinued! It needs to be brought back- Cashmere is a very close second but this one is the best Code ever. Around 4 hours Satin sits closer to the skin and becomes a powdery chocolate with hints of the jasmine from the opening.

Beautiful this winter. I think in different weather this is an evening parfume. It is special. A very fresh top of ginger, orange blossom and pear opens the composition. In the background vanilla dominates. It is similar to Code Ultimate, so I guess a slight variation from the original Code. But it is better for winter than Ultimate. The performance rocks. It is a shame that the bottle is not prettier and more expensive looking for the scent is of high quality. For a day one spritz is enough, I used 2 plus wrist and it is strong. I already feel like on a date :) I disliked the original Code as it gave me headache, but the flankers are great. Strong and potent but without side effects. It does not evolve during a day. The ingredients just shimmer and shine like diamond facets. There are so many edges that it never gets boring.

This is my absolute favorite perfume EVER. I wore this perfume daily, until it got discontinued. I think about this scent almost every day and it makes me so sad to think the perfume has been discontinued…. 🥲 PLEASE BRING IT BACK!! I think this perfume would be very famous now, since the gourmands are so trendy. It smells like cookies to me, but in a very classic way. Best perfume to ever exist.

Omg I can't buy this anywhere. I have a bottle of it and scared to use it. It smells absolutely fantastic.

Lol! I can't believe the amount of people that are crazy about this one because it's soooooo average. Don't even stress about this being discontinued because it's really not it. Never have I ever received compliments on this and I wear it as a basic every day perfume because it's so snoozefest. As soon as I try the Luna flanker, compliments left and right.

I’ve never been a fan of the armani code pour femme line. I’ve always had my eyes out in search of the cashmere one but unfortunately never found it. Then I gave satin a try and was mesmerized. It’s incredibly elegant. It’s a very warm, sweet and rich scent. It’s cozy yet leaves a hell of a trail. I literally could smell it lingering around in the hallways after almost 5 hours wear time.

I got lucky and snagged a bottle of this a few years ago at a thrift store for $20. The pear is very fleeting, but thankfully the ginger sticks around. This is definitely a gourmand to my nose, with the praline front and center. I don't get much of the florals.. maybe a little orange blossom. I love the fresh-spiciness that the ginger adds, because without it I think it would be too sickly sweet for my taste. Contrary to the votes, I actually feel like this wears just fine in the summer heat. Overall an enjoyable gourmand, but not worth that discontinued price tag.

Sweet ginger caramel Quality is really good!

I was lucky to get this discontinued little gem from a swap with a lovely member of the community. It’s an old juice but the scent remains intact. To me Satin smells like winter and especially the festive season. It’s warm, sweet and full of spices. Like a warm room, with a fireplace going, gingerbread cookies on the table and you’re sipping on some hot chocolate. The opening is all dusty cocoa (that note actually reminds me a bit of the one found in Orchidee Vanille from Van Cleef) and it’s a looot. I was actually a bit overwhelmed by it but it quickly gets more quiet and wearable. The middle and drydown remind me a lot of the original Code but with the spices amped up, especially the ginger. I can’t distinguish the white florals here but I do sense that patchouli - very earthy, it grounds the whole composition. All in all, I find it more interesting than the og offering for this line by Armani but I wouldn’t search for it again. I will enjoy it for as long as it lasts.

well it was a decent price at a little perfume store that had some old stock, but that might also be why longevity is poor....and the drydown is EXACTLY like mugler aura......which is dirt cheap online and outperforms it........so i would highly recommend checking it out if youre missing this and the drydown was your favourite part ^^; edit: longevity is not poor i be making snap judgements. its less green than aura, im happy to have both <3

My Signature Scent for over 3 years. I MISS IT! I still love it just as much and I never found a replacement for it... Too bad it is discontinued, for me it's the most successful of all the Armani Code perfumes. A perfectly measured perfume. Gourmand and sweet without being nauseating, floral but without overdose of white flowers to give you a headache, slightly spicy without piercing your nose, with this delicate touch of ginger that comes to balance the whole and give freshness. A fragrance that lasts on my skin for a whole day, on my clothes for days. A winter fragrance by excellence. It is very addictive, warm and comforting. It is the perfume on which I received the most compliments. I remember when a gentleman stopped me at the music conservatory and said: "You smell so good, Miss! What perfume are you wearing?" For me, it's a 10/10, and probably the only 10/10 I would give!

This is the perfume that I call a second skin! That perfume that marks the skin, which makes a person feel good about life, and with the probability of always having someone, or almost everyone praising the beautiful aroma of Cocoa that pulsates in a polite and excellent way! Fruity opening and at the same time spicy, I love this combination of extreme aromas that work out super well! You can feel the crushed burning Ginger and the clean Pear note associated with a fine, subtle and enveloping gourmand touch. Beautiful this phase here. In the drydown I feel a delicious white floral touch that doesn't go to the dirty paths, on the contrary, it transmits a feeling of perennial comfort and immediate cleanliness; here, it is still possible to clearly perceive the issue of the "gourmand" note that has already emerged since its release. It makes the line of clean florals, even if white. Without a doubt, it is recognizable for being a perfume that has a magnificent trail and an absurd lasting, and at the end it settles the notes in such a way that any and all praise that is made about it is fair. I feel iced Vanilla, absurd notes of Cocoa that pulsate everywhere and are not at all cloying, despite being a young and not so weighty note, I also feel the Patchouli kind of herbal, greenish that makes the final seam in this magnificent fragrance. For those who enjoy a fragrance like the one described above, it's worth every penny invested!

Such a disappointment that it's discontinued. I can describe like "intense cocoa, little vanilla with white flowers background". I have 10 ml left and i wish they will decide produce it again. Longevity is 10 hours average, sillage is amazing. With 4 spray you can feel it all day long strongly.

Masterpiece, I brought this few years back when I got into fragrances, this is a complement getter it’s has a wonderful dry down caco and vanilla smells Edible and extremely sexy 😍

I bought this in March of 2022, tried it a couple of times, and could not smell anything past the 5-minute mark ( see my review from March, if interested). So last week I decided to test it again, now that it had some serious chance to simmer, and the result was the same, barely detectable on the skin right after the first spray unless you bury your nose into the arm. 5-10 minutes later, there is nothing. As far as chocolate and praline go, I am like, what? Where? It's nothing but a very green faint scent emanating from the test site, miles away from how I imagine chocolate or praline perfume to smell like. Maybe it's my skin, but considering how in my huge collection this is the absolutely only perfume that has zero performance, I doubt that. I hate it so much that I have isolated it in a different drawer from the rest of my collection, just so I don't have to look at the box. My WORST purchase EVER. Please do not pay those exorbitant amounts of money eBay sellers are asking for it. This got discontinued for a reason.

im SO UPSET this is discontinued

I smelt it in a duty free shop and bought it immediately. It's far from any fragrance I've ever bought or worn (praline? Really?), but this one captured me. Too bad it was a limited edition. It was elegant but not heavy, for a grown woman but not mature, gourmand but not too sweet. I like Giorgio Armani perfumes, especially the limited edition ones.

I love this perfume is really nice; sweet, elegant, you can smell a delicious warm spicy chocolate and vanilla. The smell Is not similar to Dior addict, but is elegant just exactly the same. Perfect for a date night, and winter.

Code Satin has been on my radar for a while as Code Cashmere is one of my ultimate favourite scents. Its in my Top 5 for life for sure. I heard they are very similar with Satin being more gourmand. Both are discontinued which is actually the worst tragedy because they are such yummy unique scents. Satin is virtually impossible to find and is going on ebay for $200+ which is ridiculous. I decided to get Dapper Fragrances version of Code Satin and O M G. They did such a good job on this clone because I understand the hype. This smells sooo similar to LIRA in my opinion. Total yummy cake vibes with the vanilla and cocoa. Dappers clone lasts and projects which it seems like this OG does not!!!! ... I really suggest checking that one out if you're still interested in Code Satin. XO

One of the most disappointing purchases for me, ever. Satin was on my wish list for a couple of years, and I truly wish I left it there. What a colossal waste of money. I wish I could describe it, or my thoughts about it, but I can't really smell anything. My husband commented that it was "nice'', but all I detect is a low-grade musky perfume with zero sweetness coming from that praline and cocoa listed. The longevity of whatever this is supposed to be is about AN HOUR. So reviews are correct on this one, don't waste your money on Satin, there are way better, discontinued perfumes to be had.

Chocolate souffle with a side of pear sorbet anyone? That's what I get almost immediately on application. The yummy milk chocolate note, not dark, lingers for the entire duration of the fragrance but gradually recedes, revealing the other players. The floral heart of this fragrance is when the DNA of the original is evident to me but it is balanced, blending in beautifully with the more gourmand notes, never over powering them. By the the time the base rolls in, the chocolate and florals have mostly given way to a lovely powdery vanilla. My nose also picks up patchouli in the dry down but it's polite and a slightly herbal note which helps prevent the scent from becoming a full fledged gourmand. So would I call it a gourmand? Sort of yes, it definitely has very evident gourmand facets but by no means is it just that. I would recommend it for those who prefer their perfumes just to hint at a mysterious deliciousness but would rather not smell like food. The only negative I have to mention is the performance which is quite lacking. Longevity is only about 4-5 hours, 6 at the best. It sits very close to my skin and is an intimate scent I get wafts now and again but it doesn't get a lot of attention from others, in my experience. It's definitely one of my favorite chocolatey fragrances but unfortunately, discontinued and getting harder to find which makes me treasure my bottle. Try it if you get the chance.

This is sweet!! Sweet pear, cacao, praline are prominent, so it's expected. When I spray on skin or clothes, this synthetic aftersmell comes out unfortunately, which ruins it and gives it a very 'perfumy' vibe, but I'm not too upset since I'm not a fan of pear fragrances. Don't think I've ever liked a fragrance with a prominent pear note. The cap however, the scent in the cap is just yummy, I feel like that's what the fragrance aimed to be like, and if it were, I'd definitely buy it. Lasting power and projection are great.

Whoa this is way sweeter than I was expecting (although looking at the notes I should’ve expected sweet!) Fortunately I love sweet frags so maybe this will grow into a love for me. I can smell the Armani code DNA in it after it dries. Definitely a winter/fall scent-very warm and sweet.
