Giorgio Armani
Armani Code for Women
“Bitter orange and honeyed jasmine — Armani's feminine warmth, polished for evening.”
A citrus-white-floral with a honey-vanilla drydown — Carlos Benaïm's 2006 launch in Armani's Code line. Italian orange and jasmine at the top. Fall and winter evenings. Spawned a long line of flankers (Elixir, Absolu Femme, Ultimate Femme, Luna, Cashmere, Satin).
The take
