Armani Code Femme Eau de Parfum

Don't get me wrong, I do like this perfume, but it's not one I can't live without. I was given it as a gift and I know it was purchased from the airport at duty free. I'm sure the 50mls bottle was around £35.

Detected in the perfume are aromas of Italian Orange, Absolute, Sambac Jasmine, Orange Blossom, Vanilla, Honey, Bitter Orange. It is a very spicey heady perfume. It's an intense and overpowering smell and I'm bored of it after only a couple of months. It definately stands out from the crowd, but I think its too powerful and heavy for me. I wear it if I'm going out, it's quite seductive and bold. It is the "code of seduction" apparently. It does stay on for ages, one squirt lasts all day and after a night out I can still smell it on me in the morning - it's not one that you have to keep reapplying in the ladies every hour. So you get a good 24 hours out of it. It's a very luxurious perfume and makes me feel very classy when I wear it.

The thing is though, everyone asks what it is and before you know it, everyone is wearing it! (slightly annoying if you like to be individual.) It is quite the head turner of a perfume. It is very very strong and my boyfriend sneezes if I put on too much! But he does like it, from a guys point of view he thinks it is very "sexy". I personally think it is ideal for a romantic night at a fancy restaurant. Without a doubt this Eau de Parfum is an evening perfume. It has a freshness as well as spicy undertones, which seems to assault the senses in a positive way.

I also have a friend who has allergies and this perfume in particular make her go into "allergy city!" I wear this perfume as a one off now and I feel thats a good relationship to have with it.

The design of the bottle is pretty elegant too. It has a nocturnal silhouette decorated with an oriental lace design which is really quite sophisticated and sexy.
