About the Brand

Armani's fashion philosophy — clean lines and quiet confidence — carries over almost literally into its perfumes. They don't announce themselves loudly; they settle in steadily and leave an impression that lingers after the wearer has left.

Its signature scent, Armani Code, sums up this philosophy well — here is its note pyramid, from top to base.
