About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Armani Code Special Blend (2015) is a limited edition flanker that intensifies the original Code's oriental spicy character. The top notes open with a bright citrus trio of neroli, mandarin orange, and bergamot, while the heart introduces olive blossom, star anise, and tarragon, adding a green-aromatic and licorice-like facet. The base is rich and woody, with guaiac wood, tonka bean, tobacco, and cedar providing depth and warmth. This composition suits collectors who appreciate a more robust, aromatic take on the Code DNA, ideal for evening wear in cooler months. The dominant accords of citrus and woods are balanced by soft spicy and anis nuances, making it a distinctive yet wearable fragrance for those who enjoy complex, spicy-woody scents.
