Armani Code Cologne by Giorgio Armani, This citrusy, aromatic cologne is Armani Code, launched in 2004. This classic fragrance opens with refreshing top notes of lemon and bergamot. A twist of woodiness begins to form in the heart with guaiac wood, star anise and olive blossom. Base notes of tobacco, leather and tonka bean round out the scent.
Before Giorgio Armani was one of the most famous Italian fashion designers, he first began as a department store shop-window designer and eventually gained the position of menswear buyer. He worked for the house of Nino Cerutti and a multitude of other fashion houses as an independent designer. In 1975, he presented his first men’s clothing collection. Later the same year, he released a women’s line.
