Advantages Fresh, feminine, fruity, economical scent

Disadvantages Price, you need to shop around to get a good deal

Mr Lools refuses to buy me any form of perfumes if he has to choose them himself. I do have a “type” (fresh, fruity and not too heavy) but he describes my taste as too picky. So when he does want to purchase a fragrance as a gift for me we tend to wander around the fragrance section in a department store and he judges my reaction to certain fragrances. We were replacing his Armani Code for Men fragrance in Boots so as we were stopped at the Armani Code display I decided to give myself a spray of the Armani Code for women perfume. After not so subtly exclaiming how much I liked the scent I was very pleased that after 7 years of living together he understood my “hints” and for my birthday he bought me a bottle of Armani Code for Women.


***Armani Code***
The perfume is described to be “Armani Code for Women Eau de Parfum is simple yet sensual, comforting yet captivating. A spellbinding fragrance evoking the same elegance as a Giorgio Armani dress sense”

The perfume includes:
Top Notes of Orange Blossom, African Bitter Orange and Sweet Italian Orange.
Middle Notes of Tunisian Orange blossom and Sambac jasmine
Base Notes of vanilla and honey.

From reading the description of the scent the predominance of the orange ingredients does immediately make you think that this could be a very citrusy fragrance however it is fruity but less tangy and citrusy than you may expect and has a softer sweeter scent because of the honey and vanilla. When Armani Code is categorised on fragrance websites can be found in the “fresh” fragrance category or the “feminine”.

The fragrance comes in three different sizes which are 30ml, 50ml and 75ml. Prices vary considerably for each of the sizes depending on where you buy. As far as fragrances go this is a slightly higher than average priced scent because it is designer but not quite in the “high premium” bracket as far as ladies fragrances go. Boots, Superdrug and department stores such as Debenhams, House of Fraser and John Lewis all sell the three sizes of Armani Code. Prices tend to be £37.00 for a 30ml bottle, £48.00 for a 50ml bottle and £65.00 for a 75ml bottle.

You can purchase the fragrance a lot cheaper from online perfume retailers such as www.fragrancedirect.com , www.cheapscents.com and www.thefragranceshop.com . For all three sizes the online retailers tend to be £10 cheaper than the main department stores.


***Armani Code Bottle***
The fragrance bottle is a long thin bottle which is slightly narrower in the middle and tapers out towards the ends. The colour of the bottle is blue which is a faded effect going from a very light blue at the base to a dark navy blue at the top of the bottle. There are black flowers printed on the bottle. The bottle is quite simple but has a dark feminine elegant look to it which looks very nice when displayed on your dressing table.

The tapered top of the bottle has a lid which fits on and off which is dark navy blue. Under the lid is the perfume spray. The lid is reasonably secure so you could pop this in a handbag or travel bag but I feel as this is quite a heavy glass bottle it is not an ideal bottle to travel with.

    Not sure I would like the scent, but the bottle looks very cool.
