Btw I was talking to fast when I said two types of iris it was natural Iris and Iris aldehydes not “natural aldehydes”. That doesn’t make sense. Figured I’d correct myself
I'm really enjoying your reviews lately! I appreciate the nice shirt and tie, very professional. I personally love the idea of the standard for new releases being refillable bottles.
Thanks so much I greatly appreciate it. I dressed the part for the fragrance being that it’s a classier take on the code line. And yes I love the idea of refillable bottles as well. A new day in the fragrance age and I like kt
Great review Doud I don’t think there’s a review on this fragrance out yet I think you are the first one 👏🏻 I have few from the line I still miss and wish code ultimate never got discontinued as for code Profumo meh I’m not a fan smells like ambery Dr Pepper my favorite now is code absolu and gold but absolu is fantastic
As far as a full review ya I am the first. Some guy got the same tester from the same site I did but 3 weeks earlier and did a quick short but for review I was the first. I have to say overall I am not the biggest fan of the code line. I have profumo but hardly wear it I don’t like it as much as I did when I bought it and Absolu is one of two fragrances that have a powdery vanilla that my wife hates along with spicebomb extreme so I don’t wear it. But this feels like a code but also doesn’t. The bergamot Iris mixture is a game changer for the line in my opinion but because a lot of people love Absolu and I’m not a huge fan this may be a bust for some people but still giving that I gave it high marks and it’s a code that speaks volumes to me about this fragrance
Might have to check this one out. Loved the OG black code, and code ultimate, got colonia as well. But agree that it is a little dated, great impressions Randy! Thanks
Ya it’s a definite game changer in my opinion for the base line of the armani code family. Yes they have the flankers like profumo and Absolu that stray from the line but the edt and EDP and now this I consider the base of the code line and this one is by far the best. It’s a modern take on the code dna mixed with a bright bergamot and smooth Iris. It’s quite good
What’s the perfume shop/the fragrance shop? The best places to buy fragrances for me are either the designer website or Macys:sephora, and then obviously the 3 main discounters. I never heard of those two
@@reeceyoung3908 oh usually armani doesn’t hit discounters in the USA until a year or so later if that. Not sure about Europe as I’ve never used those links
@@FragranceDOUD they’re not discounters, I think they’re basically our version of Sephora and Macy’s they have 100s of stores across the uk and Ireland
This is definitely on my radar to check out and your first impression is very encouraging! I happen to love iris fragrances myself and this sounds like a must try. I understand Macy’s should have it in stock late August/early September. The new bottle design looks dope. BTW, how does it compare to Prada L’Homme Intense? People on fragrantica are claiming it’s similar to that lol
Well considering it hasn’t been released anywhere yet except on my survey site not even in Europe the people on fragrantica are the pre release trolls. Never look at fragrantica before a fragrance is released or even within the first month. They put Jeremy fragrances the office similar to a picture of a butt. I have prada lhomme intense and no that is a fall and winter frsgrance through and through heavier deeper and filled with Amber and powdery Iris. This has 0 Amber is bright and has citrus and florals. So no they are not similar. The fragrance releases world wide in 4 days 12 hours. It should be in ur Macys by end of next week.
Def keeping an eye out on this one… sounds like a signature scent kind of profile. I will assume the next release is something heavy. Appreciate the way u break things down! Killin the game. On scent alone do u prefer RC Parfun or code parfum
Jeff asked me this same question when we were talking last night. As far as the fragrance as a whole yes because the performance is stellar. The scents are both very versatile with ralphs club maybe edging it a bit. Overal I told him they are very close if I had to rank but as far as the scent alone I would go with ralphs club edging just a bit but also because that is more my style of fragrance while I never was the biggest fan of the code line in general. So to make me rate this on par with ralphs club Parfum speaks volumes about this fragrance
@@FragranceDOUD tell Jeff to get out of my head lmao. I see that def says something when a scent profile u don’t usually care for much impresses you this much. Awesome. I’m glad u got picked to be sent this.
I am looking forward to this, I was looking forward more to Ralph’s Club Parfum and Boss Bottled Parfum (can we just talk about the European duty free store exclusive?) but I was interested in this. Review is pretty interesting. Might have to go down to the store and give it a smell.
Ralphs club parfum is weak asf and armani code parfum blows the edp out the water way longer lasting and smells like the vintage armani code but more complex.
I picked up my dad to take him a few places and had this on. He asked me if I got a haircut because of the scent and I can see why he said that. Ima describe this as having the freshness of a black barber shop from now on because it definitely smells like it lol
@@DarkHorseDanny if I could say that then the fragrance would be redundant to buy and I wouldn’t be saying how good it is. There is no specific code that it’s similar to just the code dna. It’s completely different then any other code that has been released because it has Iris and bergamot and notes most of the other codes don’t have
@@FragranceDOUD I appreciate your video I think I'm going to get the new release since I have all the rest of the codes from Armani. But I did contact Armani Fragrance and was told the Code Profumo has been discontinued.
@@waynethompson8207 Wayne make sure u check out my short I just posted today. This video was my first impressions but I just released a short with an update
I have seven from this line (Edp, absolute, absolute gold, profumo, A-list, Colonia, Ultimate) I might be skipping this because of the new packaging...
It actually released 5 days ago on Macys site I posted the link that day but I made this video when I got the pre release and had the first review on RUclips
@@MarkTomeh I made a new short yesterday. The more I wore the less I loved but still like. It’s now close to the edt but longer lasting fresher and more refined

Niceeee. I was kinda hoping for a new line but happy we’re getting a new code
This or narcisso Rodrigues blue noir parfum for a more versatile iris fragrance (considering and longevity ) ? Any answer is appreciated

No problem. Thanks for the support 😎
Sounds nice! Sounds like more of a spring summer fragrance
Yes but it’s for all year round I don’t feel like there is a time this couldn’t be worn
Thanks for this! You are killing it with the reviews!
Thanks dru much appreciated 👊
Super excited about this one. Can't wait to try it

You’ve got me so excited for this 🔥 do you know when it might release in The Perfume Shop or The Fragrance Shop?
What’s the perfume shop/the fragrance shop? The best places to buy fragrances for me are either the designer website or Macys:sephora, and then obviously the 3 main discounters. I never heard of those two
@@FragranceDOUD they’re the 2 main fragrance shops in england to get designer frags at retail
Not sure mate some frags don’t make it to them check the armani website
@@reeceyoung3908 oh usually armani doesn’t hit discounters in the USA until a year or so later if that. Not sure about Europe as I’ve never used those links
@@FragranceDOUD they’re not discounters, I think they’re basically our version of Sephora and Macy’s they have 100s of stores across the uk and Ireland
I've been waiting for this one
Definitely worth a look for sure

It's out on Macy's site now for me!
@@biomez ya I just saw that to but they are not advertising yet so must be their early release because Macys sponsors armani

Love that EDP.. great review I’m sure ima like this one as well. Can’t wait!!
Ya if u like the EDP I think u will as well
I love Armani Code Profumo, might test this one!
Thanks for the review doud.
No problem Scott glad I could help !!
Thanks for the insights, definite pick up for me
No problem bud glad I could help
I can't wait to try this fragrance 💎
Ya it’s a really nice one. Make sure u sign up for early access if ur gonna buy it quick
Really nice review sounds like it’s gonna be a killer
💯
So keen to try this one!
Ya I’m gonna snag a bottle and prob do a decant giveaway once it’s out
how much hours longevity and projections and sillage
I am looking forward to this, I was looking forward more to Ralph’s Club Parfum and Boss Bottled Parfum (can we just talk about the European duty free store exclusive?) but I was interested in this. Review is pretty interesting. Might have to go down to the store and give it a smell.
The duty free airport exclusive is only for the pre release from what I understand. It should be elsewhere soon
@@FragranceDOUD such a bizarre exclusive to give.
Ralphs club parfum is weak asf and armani code parfum blows the edp out the water way longer lasting and smells like the vintage armani code but more complex.
I picked up my dad to take him a few places and had this on. He asked me if I got a haircut because of the scent and I can see why he said that. Ima describe this as having the freshness of a black barber shop from now on because it definitely smells like it lol
It has a barbershop vibe?
What fragrance would you say it is the most similar to?
I already said in the video it’s a code through and throw but with a mix of the opening from gentleman edt intense
@@FragranceDOUD Which code would you think specifically?
@@DarkHorseDanny if I could say that then the fragrance would be redundant to buy and I wouldn’t be saying how good it is. There is no specific code that it’s similar to just the code dna. It’s completely different then any other code that has been released because it has Iris and bergamot and notes most of the other codes don’t have
@@FragranceDOUD Thank you mate! Honestly cannot wait to pick this one up!! Lucky you got to smell it first 😉
Is the release of new Armani code Parfum the reason why they discontinued the Armani code Profumo.
Not exactly sure they never provide the full information. Profumo can still be found a lot of places but my guess is yes
@@FragranceDOUD I appreciate your video I think I'm going to get the new release since I have all the rest of the codes from Armani. But I did contact Armani Fragrance and was told the Code Profumo has been discontinued.
@@waynethompson8207 Wayne make sure u check out my short I just posted today. This video was my first impressions but I just released a short with an update
@@FragranceDOUD will do
Where do you get this 20ml vial?
I said in the video it’s from a private survey site I do
All the fragrance you have the fragrance can be expire ?
If u keep them at a good temperature and out of light they last 10+ years. Once they get older I sell them and replenish
I’ve yet to have one go bad and some of mine are from the 90’s.
I am very curious to compare this one to code eau de parfum
It has modernized pieces of the code dna but the Iris bergamot mixture puts it on a new level
@@FragranceDOUD nice! 👍
I love it. Bought the biggest bottle
Men i need to get my hands on it i love powdery and iris notes
Well this is a nice Iris fragrance but it dials the powder back
I have seven from this line (Edp, absolute, absolute gold, profumo, A-list, Colonia, Ultimate) I might be skipping this because of the new packaging...
I personally like the sleek new design. Although I also love the hourglass
My guess is they will have a special edition for collectors with the hourglass
@@FragranceDOUD if that's the case, I would definitely go for the collectors version.
Yea I’m kinda sad they changed that iconic bottle
@@cole4249 looks like Dior Elixir
I mite go after this one because of the iris
This released August 15
It actually released 5 days ago on Macys site I posted the link that day but I made this video when I got the pre release and had the first review on RUclips
@@FragranceDOUD wow really? Was it pre-order?
@@FragranceDOUD I'm thinking of ordering but I wanna try it first. How would you describe it now that you've had more time with it?
@@MarkTomeh I made a new short yesterday. The more I wore the less I loved but still like. It’s now close to the edt but longer lasting fresher and more refined
i have heard that it is - f l a t . Not even qualifying as an p a r f u m . 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
The more I wore it the more linear it has become. But it still good just a more refined fresher take on the original
