The Code is not very difficult to understand

Category: Review on Code Femme by Giorgio Armani 50ml Eau de Parfum Spray

Posted by: 26-Nov-2007

Strengths: Nice, fresh perfume which lingers on for quite some time

Weaknesses: Confused entity when it comes to name, perfume style and packaging

Decoding the Code Femme is not an easy task as it is an amalgamation of soft floral tones cleverly interspersed with some very popular fruity tones. The statuesque bottle gives the perfume a very oriental yet elegant look and that also enhances the perfume's sell-ability. The perfume is well suited for day wear especially during summers and though the lasting ability is moderate, it does need refreshing from time to time.

The orange tones of Code are not very prominent and thus you are able to enjoy the jasmine and vanilla tones quite well. There is a strong sense of woody tones which exist in the perfume and that helps it last a bit longer. The name of the perfume however, was not something that I would have chosen. Code Femme sounds more like a perfume which would carry tones of musk and other heavier elements than orange blossom!

The pricing of Code is moderate considering the fact that it is a Giorgio Armani product. Though the perfume smells very fresh and nice, there is no single unique point about them which makes me feel like reaching out and picking up a bottle. The overall combination of a renegade name like Code coupled with a feminine bottle with flowers printed on them is something which borders on creativity but does not go down well with all perfume buyers.
