“The original Armani seduction code — anise, tobacco, leather, and intent.”
The 2023 EDT reformulation in Armani's Code line — Antoine Lie's launch, a fresher, more aromatic take on the line's structure. Green mandarin at the top, a lavender heart, settling on a tonka-cedar drydown. Versatile across seasons, balanced day-to-night.
