To this day the original is easily my favorite. It holds a special place in my collection. My first signature scent, first cologne I got compliments on, First cologne I got multiple bottles of. Man I just love the original!
These buying guides are great! I tent to buy 1 or 2 fragances of the same line, cos I like to have more variety in my colection, and these videos are helping me a lot! Now, I think it is turn to a bying guide for Guerlain L´homme ideal. Fantastic job!
@@unbelievableproductions right that’s what I’m hearing. I think I might get absolu or at least try it I like this Armani code sample I got from Macys so hopefully absolu is similar but better. I wonder what code Profumo smells like
@@solomonKachi7000 I sprayed Acqua Essenziale Blu, Best way I can explain Profumo it has this benzoin ambroxan note at base similar to Acqua Essenziale Blu, but with sweetness turned up from tonka bean. As with Absolu, you won't have this ambroxan note at the base. Instead you you'll constantly get is Vanilla and sweetness from tonka bean. So in a way, if you like "blue fragrances", Profumo is going to be the one. I like vanilla fragrances and blue fragrance aspect of Profumo, so I got both of them : ) It's not really redundant to get both.
@@solomonKachi7000 colonia and absolute are amazing. my favorite one is absolu, it blew my mind wen i first smelled it, but u can't wear it during summer or hot days over 75F. Colonia is also another good one. u can wear that year round but just have to increase the sprays to maybe 6+ during the cold.i just got profumo and that one is a tonka bomb. i didn't like it. ill wait till winter to give it another go and see if i like it better.
I have the OG and Absolu. There is something I find irritating about Absolu when I spray it initially. I really am blown away by the EDT. I can still smell on my clothes the next day. Strange that it is said it has poor longevity. It smells truthful and unforced.
Great video, not collecting that long but realising I love a lot of Armani fragrances! Of what I currently own my favourites are 1. Eau de parfum, 2. Absolu, 3. Profumo. I also love the new code parfum, it actually performs better than I originally thought. And also the classic Emporio Armani He, really surprising I don’t hear about this one more, it’s so beautiful!
@@user-mv7kh5sv9z very different, to my nose EDP is a much stronger, sharper scent, much like the original code, Code Parfum to me is beautiful but a much more mellow scent, I love them both but I feel like EDP is a much more noticeable scent
Profumo was recommended to me by a store attendant when i said i like 1 million but didn't want to smell the same as everybody else. It has since become my favourite and most complimented scent but I haven't tried any other code
I would love to see a buying guide for parfums de marly fragrances . Although they are not all flankers to each other , it kind of confusing on which one should i buy cuz pdm fragrances are the best 👌🏻
His favorite is Armani Code Absolu. I think that might be the best too. Thank you for the review of the Armani Code line and flankers. Don't see reviews like this too often. Perhaps a review on Dior Homme and flankers and versions, Carolina Herrera CH Men flankers.
I have the Profumo (and I actually really like it) because of this wonderful presentation I'm going to get the Colonia. I need another spring and summer fragrance beside Bleu de Chanel and Rasasi Hawas. Also because of this presentation I'm thinking of the Armani code EDP.
*I REMEMBER GETTING THE OG CODE BACK WHEN IT ORIGINALLY RELEASED (approx 04-05) and it was an absolute BEAST of a fragrance - being 18-19 it was almost toooo much having only worn ADG Pour Homme and Victoria Secret Very Sexy for Him prior.*
I watched Jeremy Top 10 2022. He mentioned Armani Code. Then I come here for an in-depth video. I bought the right Sauvage and Spicebomb Night Vision because of you. Cheers
Last week I wore the original one and I have received a compliment, I love the original one it has a classic touch that I love that other flankers doesn't have 👍👍😍😍
Bro. Just subscribed off of this video. Thank you so much. I love the original Armani Code, but have always been disappointed by the lack of staying power, as well as the lack of projection. And when trying to reach for an alternative it really is hard to make an informed decision, due in large part to the sheer number of these flankers. Tried A-List and after being disappointed by that one as well I actually gave up on the whole line. You gave well reasearched and well said descriptions of each of these scents, while being clear on what differentiates them each other. Will be reaching for the 2021 eau de parfum. Well done.
Al Haramain Amber Oud line would be Nice, No One has done it. Bleu de Chanel series JPG Le Male Series Acqua Di Gio series Allure Homme Sport Series Dior Homme line. One millions there are alot.
It's sad they discontinued A list. They also used to have Armani code ultimate I heard that one was amazing. They discontinued all of the ones people would say are the absolute best.
Absolu gold is underrated in my opinion i like it too, the new edp is a heavy lavender scent, slightly soapy with aromatic rosemary and the typical code tonka/vanilla dna.
Great video Dallas 👍 not sure if you have any of the Michael Kors mens line of designers? I think that line would be interesting to review 🤔 I have all of them and like them alot. They have a new one called Extreme Journey coming out this year. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your videos, I really like when you evaluate all the flankers and give your honest opinion. My favourite parfum ever was Jean paul gaultier 2 unfortunately is discontinued, do you know this parfum? Do you know any parfum similar to JPG2? Keep up with the videos
I don't think what they call the original is actually the original. I had it back when it first came out as Armani Code Black, then I dumped it for Bleu de Chanel. I got a bottle this year for nostalgia and while it is nice it isn't the same fragrance as when it was called black.
Colonia is too flat and better for spring than summer in my opinion but a good solid scent 👌🏼 it has the same lack of brightness as Prada Luna rossa for example
If you want the Armani Code make sure it's in the original bottle (the non-centred text) otherwise these reformulations only last about 20 minutes (they removed the moss which gave it its strength) and why they changed the design. Profumo smells like vanilla coffee, quite a bad smell after a while. Armani Code Sport Athlete smells like oranges. Armani Diamond smells of cream vanilla, Armani Code Summer is underrated, yet is hard to find. The best version of Armani Code (uses similar ingredients) is YSL La Nuit. (reformulations though have killed this one, as also in the modern Code).
Hi Dallas. Just had a couple of questions if you'd help. Firstly, i bought a sample of Code Profumo and really like it but it's really hard to find now in the UK. Have you come across any good clones of it? And the second question is about an old fragrance i had when i met my wife 26 years ago. It was Diesel D or something like that. A yellow bottle. I can't seem to find it. Have you had any experience of it? Cheers mate, Marc
1. Original formulation OG code 2. Profumo 3. Sport 4. Absolu 5. Ultimate There is something completely off putting about the edp after a while. I bought it and I LOVED it at first as it reminded me of the old formulations and started wearing it as my signature Immediately. After a while i hate it and is the only one that gets cloying on me, even Profumo if I go light on the trigger will work in the summer. There is something about it and special blend that I do not like at all after a while. NONE of the others do that and a code has been my signature since 2004
At any point the in production ones could be discontinued leaving the same result. There are also chances that the discontinued ones can pop back in stock
@@ChaosFragrances oh ok I've been casually collecting random colognes for years but been feeling like the sales people at "discount" stores were leaving out information and finding your channel proved my suspicion correct. Thank you man
I still love the original. The others are too strong to wear to the gym or church. The original is still the OG and when you learn how it behaves of your skin, you can learn how to spray for compliments in any environment. Will always own a bottle.
I have Profumo, Absolu, and EDP. I love EDP, don´t like that much Profumo, or Absolu. My wife does not like EDP, and likes more Profumo, a tad less Absolu.
I bought Armani Code Profumo 60ml for the first time in 2018 (in Douglas perfumery, Croatia), best mode fragrance, strong projection, 8+ longevity... I used the entire bottle in two years and in 2021 I bought a new bottle at the same place (Douglas perfumery, Croatia) 110ml batch code 38TD00F (produced in 2020-12) - the same smell, but the performances are NOT EVEN CLOSE - 1-2 hours of moderate projection and up to 5hrs longevity... And then, like everyone else, I started googling if it had been reformulated, and found there are many people who think the same BUT there are many more who say that it is about nose-blindes, skin chemistry and so on... So today, August 11, 2022 (hot weather 25C), I took my 110ml 38TD00F Armani Code Profumo in my office, I went (walk 5 minutes) to the local DM store (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and on my left hand I sprayed twice with the 30ml Armani Code Profumo tester (regular bottle, only white label that say tester pasted over a regular Armani sticker) ... Then I returned to the office and after 5-10 minutes sprayed my 2021 110ml Armani Code Profumo 38TD00F on my right hand... Currently, 4 hours later, smell of Profumo tester in DM store (my left hand) is AMAZING, just my like old Armani Code Profumo from 2018, strong, powerful. Smell of my Profumo 110ml bought in 2021 (my right hand) NOT FELT AT ALL! All my colleagues at work say the same, some say they can smell the fragrance on my right hand but it's not the same and it's much milder and airier AND the smell on my left hand is much stronger... Still when I swing my left hand there is strong scent trail and on my right hand - ALMOST NOTHING... So, my conclusion is that stories about nose-blindes, skin chemistry and similar are nonsense (at least in this case)... Profumo from December 2020 is lot weaker than Profumo from 2018, and Profumo from DM store tested in 2022 is same as my old 2018 Profumo (I can't see the batch code on the tester because a TESTER sticker is pasted over it).
To this day the original is easily my favorite. It holds a special place in my collection. My first signature scent, first cologne I got compliments on, First cologne I got multiple bottles of. Man I just love the original!
Code absolu/gold and Colonia are my favorites 👌 Smelled Colonia 2 days ago and was blown away. Wore it two years ago in the summer. So uplifting!
Colonia is great and so underrated
@@Wisdom887 I concur.

That new EDP is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥! Getting a lot of compliments at work and casual. Great Frag!!!!

How is it compared to the regular code
@@solomonKachi7000 I have Code Absolu and Profumo. I've never gotten the regular Armani Code. Lot's of people say that it's not worth it anymore.

Armani Black Code or Code pre 2014 is what you want if you want to be blown away. It's that good.
Armani Code Profumo is my jam

profumo, absolu, and colonia! love all 3
In that order?
Absolu is one of my all time favorites.
By the way I sampled Code Sport... Totally not worth the money.
Great line! I’ve smelled a few but haven’t gone after the line yet. Love these buying guides
Profumo was recommended to me by a store attendant when i said i like 1 million but didn't want to smell the same as everybody else. It has since become my favourite and most complimented scent but I haven't tried any other code

How far does it beat Profumo by?
Code Sport..... That's my personal favorite, Great list nonetheless!!🍻
We need a buying guide for Dior Homme line up
This is my favorite series. Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate it.
My favorites from the Line Armani Code Ultimate, Black Code, Athlete, Summer Pour Homme 2010, Armani Mania, Ice, Special Blend
I like your discontinued style.
I have the Profumo (and I actually really like it) because of this wonderful presentation I'm going to get the Colonia. I need another spring and summer fragrance beside Bleu de Chanel and Rasasi Hawas. Also because of this presentation I'm thinking of the Armani code EDP.

Last week I wore the original one and I have received a compliment, I love the original one it has a classic touch that I love that other flankers doesn't have 👍👍😍😍
I'm still yet to get my hands on any of the code range. Thanks for the guide bro.

Al Haramain Amber Oud line would be Nice, No One has done it.
Bleu de Chanel series
JPG Le Male Series
Acqua Di Gio series
Allure Homme Sport Series
Dior Homme line.
One millions there are alot.
Best fragrance flanker videos on RUclips. Thanks again Dallas 💯
It's sad they discontinued A list. They also used to have Armani code ultimate I heard that one was amazing. They discontinued all of the ones people would say are the absolute best.
Thank you Chaos!.. I love these buying guide comparisons!🤔🤗🤗
Code Ultimate is very underrated
Everbody who loves the smell of vanilla, should buy armani code absolu
A lot of people have that already
I want you to do a classic men's fragrance guide! I know you like your fougeres 😎
The Best is Code EDP
I want to try this fragrance line. good review 👍
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and I'm a fan of this line and have a blessed day
Haven’t smelled code epd yet, other than that I prefer code absolu gold
Absolu gold is underrated in my opinion i like it too, the new edp is a heavy lavender scent, slightly soapy with aromatic rosemary and the typical code tonka/vanilla dna.
I just bought Profumo last week
How is it

I have most of them

4. Parfum
Armani code summer 2010 edition 🔥🔥🔥
I don't think what they call the original is actually the original. I had it back when it first came out as Armani Code Black, then I dumped it for Bleu de Chanel. I got a bottle this year for nostalgia and while it is nice it isn't the same fragrance as when it was called black.
Yeah I heard it was hit hard by reformulation
Facts
Code Absolu is my favorite
Request: vid on top five of iris frags like Dior Homme, Prada L’Homme, Versace Pour Homme.
Profumo and special blend are the best I’ve smelled. I haven’t smelled absolu gold yet though
Those are not code line 😂
@@andrewd8253 dummy yes they are Armani code Profumo and Armani code special blend. We know u don’t know wth you’re talking bout.
Have u tried the Armani code Ultimate? I love it. Its stronger as the original as well.
Screw that I want the strongest projection of everything in long lasting scent THE END
Periodt
So which one does this award go to??? 🤔
Just picked up code edp and it's a beast
Then get profumo
Which is the one in the black bottle and silver top? Parfum?
Armani Code Absolu is awesome. Mancera buying guide?
Best casual daily/going out is Profumo. Best for formal occasions is Absolu Gold. Ive noticed absolu is a bit polarizing
Literally looking at adding this 2 my collection so clicked on this 2 see what one is best 🤔🤔
I agree absolute is my favorite too
I would like to see you buying guide for Dior creed Chanel and Armani stronger with you the whole line thank you
compare boss bottled line up next!
Great series!

So every cologne is shit bc a lot of them have been reformulated
Sport code is the absolute best fragrance I’ve ever smelled in my life
Hi Dallas.
Just had a couple of questions if you'd help.
Firstly, i bought a sample of Code Profumo and really like it but it's really hard to find now in the UK. Have you come across any good clones of it?
And the second question is about an old fragrance i had when i met my wife 26 years ago. It was Diesel D or something like that. A yellow bottle. I can't seem to find it. Have you had any experience of it?
Cheers mate, Marc
Which code is good for warmer days but can hold up in the cold as well
My favorite is Armani code factor X
Which one is the sweetest one?
Hello. I'm thinking of buying a late spring/summer clubbing fragrance, is Absolu suitable for that situation?
1. Original formulation OG code
2. Profumo
3. Sport
4. Absolu
5. Ultimate
There is something completely off putting about the edp after a while. I bought it and I LOVED it at first as it reminded me of the old formulations and started wearing it as my signature Immediately.

Bro sport code is the ultimate best fragrance on this planet i still have a bottle I’m on my last sprays tho so sad
I've had the original Code, Code Sport (amazing!) and Code Summer (not as good but lighter). Currently Code-less so this is a great video, thanks!
I was too until i picked up code edp and it's killer
@AJ, do you mean the new one with the new bottle design ?
getting the discontinued ones doesn't matter the in production information is definitely more valuable
At any point the in production ones could be discontinued leaving the same result. There are also chances that the discontinued ones can pop back in stock

Hey you didnt do Armani Code Sport.
Do the ysl y line
Can't find profomo anywhere, heard edp was 2nd best
I guess I will get colonial next then 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Aqua Di is the best Armani fragrance
I just bought 2 x 200ml of Armani Code OG for USD 76.90 each. Could not resist to the good deal.
How do people get these prices. Damn!
can i use armani code absolu during rainy season? im planning to buy it
Yes do more of this guide buy colognes. Been waiting for this Armani Code line .. next list Lacoste line ..
The original smells baby powderish, if you spray to much your body temp will go up. Ppl can definitely tell your wearing good 80$ cologne.
You should have at least mentioned armani code sport.... very good flanker

Great review
Ya man nothing like Armani absulo
Anyone know if new batches of profumo still perform well?
EDP 2021 or profumo ?
Why is nobody talking about Armani code ultimate???
What about someone who is still in school??
This series is better than jeremy fragrance's before you buy
I have Code Absolu ... does anyone know if it’s suitable for date nights? I’m 19 btw
Yes defo suitable for that
I unfortunately do not know English, I wonder which one is recommended in the video or which option appeals to the taste more. Can a friend write?
Colonia for summer, absolu for winter/colder time
You video has made me pick up 4 bottles in 2 days in this line 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome!
