Decanted Sample of Code Absolu by Giorgio Armani

Great designer perfume.  Very pleasant.  everyone loves it.  A bit linear but a great smell and will please those around you!

Perfect date night fragrance. Great for close encounters in the fall and winter, so smooth and cozy. Masculine, but can be a bit sweet for some men

Sweet Vanilla is mostly what you smell but the suede and maybe the carrot seeds? give the vanilla some roughness and actual masculinity. It's still very femininely sweet but at least it has some unique depth. That being said it's too simple of a scent to really justify it as being an actual perfume instead of say, a candle or air freshener. If you are someone who really adores sweet vanilla and want that to be 70+% of what you smell, then this is for you. Not sure what I was expecting but it did get a high score on fragrantica for some reason...

This tries to come off for older audiences, with a more mature tobacco-like note in the midst of its original DNA. This isn't really my jam, and makes me miss the original which I ran out of.

This scent is sweet and would be good for the winter

I really enjoyed this fragrance, it is sweet and creamy, but still holds its masculinity. I would definitely say only for cold weather, but if you like sweeter fragrances definitely give this one a try!

A little sweeter than I expected it to be, though it isn't an offensive fragrance. Better than both the original Code and Profondo, feels warm and inviting.

Better than the profondo in my opinion. But nothing special.

I feel like I've smelled this scent before. Many times. Slight variations, but still very familiar. And safe. It's a good scent, but it's another one of those scents that no one will be able to pinpoint and will mistake it for one of many others.

I have spicebomb extreme to fill this void at the moment, but this is something I would consider replacing it with. It smells a little sharper than spicebomb, but has a nice warm feel to it.
