what's happening everyone so it's yet another year of a ton of flankers
eau de parfum, parfum and cologne intense flankers today we're going to talk about
yet another flanker from Armani this is going to be Armani Code eau de parfum 2021
edition guys want to hear all about this one stick around it's coming up right now
welcome back to another video i'm max forti and today we're talking about the 19th flanker that
is ridiculous but it's true this is the 19th flanker armani code of the armani code
collection this is going to be the armani code eau de parfum 2021 again the 19th flanker since
the inception of the original 2004 armani code let's see what this one is all about when you look
at the box here there's nothing to it it's a black box with some gold appointments including the
eau de parfum pour homme little tag here it's going to have your batch code information at the bottom
of course the bottle will also contain that information and batch code at the base
so the bottle itself is going to be from dark to the gold cap it's going to be
you know a very dark bottle that you can actually see through so it's not really that black it's
almost like a dark blue but you know what we'll call it black it's going to have this ring here
the cap is this gold almost like a purer kind of a finish which is really smooth and really
nice, the sprayers again the atomizer is going to be also that purer goldish kind of a
color and the sprayers are actually really strong as you come to expect
with armani fragrances one of the best in the market along with yves saint laurent and dior fragrances
now what well actually let me spray this little test trip i do have this this on skin it is my
scent of the day today now when you first spray this fragrance oh by the way before i get into the
actual smell itself it's available in three main sizes you have the 30ml the 60ml like this one
or the 3.7 ounce prices are going to be varying between $70 $90 and $120 give or take
depending on the size this is not yet available at your discounters but it is available
in your local general store for the most part so let's talk about the smell here guys so as soon
as i spray this fragrance on it is very very very similar to the original 2004 armani code now
this could be a good thing or a bad thing and i'm gonna tell you why it could be a
good thing because a lot of fragrances these days especially when you look at lavender
tonka and vanilla in a note breakdown they're going to have a very similar vibe to them with
some minute variations the fact that this is going back to its roots back to the basics back to the
2004 release which was really groundbreaking when it first came out i remember very vividly picking
that bottle up when i was working it was one of my favorite work scents especially if i had like
evening events that i was going to or events locations that i had to be a little
bit more dressier armani code really fit the bill that 2004 you know the original armani
code this one has a lot of very very similar resemblances to that it has a lot of components
that are very reminiscent to the original 2004. again i don't think there's tobacco in this in
this fragrance but i do get a very slight bitter tobacco kind of a nuance here which actually is
quite nice the opening has a very faint citrus vibe with bergamot and lemon but it gets
quickly dissipated and it faint fades away real quickly making way to that lavender tonka vibe
that i'm talking about which is really going to be very powerful and strong throughout the
whole life of this fragrance as you get into the heart a couple of things will play a role here
not really tobacco but i do get a leather suede leather vibe you know i have to dry down on skin
and that suede vibe it's like that leathery very nice and warm enveloping almost like a
very beautiful suede jacket or suede blazer that you would wear which again makes this
really nice for dressier occasions evening wear for those occasions that you really want to put
your best foot forward i think this fragrance has a very good potential for those settings
and type of occasions especially evening or dressier type of settings and scenarios the
heart of the fragrance is the turning point here again the vanilla and tonka are going to be very
predominant here but not as sweet and youthful as the previous two releases from the armani code
line of fragrances meaning if you love armani code absolute or absolute gold if you love armani profumo
this is not going to have that playful youthful more sweet uh bubble gummy type of a vibe that
you get with those fragrance in fact the lavender here will add this bitterness that i talked about
that almost felt like a tobacco vibe which will make this a little bit more mature and
very very close to the original armani code 2004 release that i talked about in the beginning so
if you miss that fragrance this is definitely going to be something well not missed because
it's still available but it's really heavily reformulated so this one here is kind of like
going back to the original the og feel that you got with armani code 2004 so that is a good
thing like i was talking about in the beginning as the fragrance continues to dry down and develop on
your skin you are going to get a beautiful white musk that's going to come to the forefront along
with a cedar note it's really amazing here if you like cedar base you know woody kind of a fragrance
it really comes through along with that lavender and again giving the scent a more mature vibe more
mature meaning more mature than our money code absolute absolute gold or profumo so if you like
those that direction you're definitely going to like those better but if you like the original and you wanted
something a little bit more mature a little bit more well uh rounded in a sense that it's gonna be
yeah more mature you know giving a vibe of something that perhaps somebody in their 30s would
like more than perhaps somebody in their 20s i would definitely say consider picking this one up
this is definitely going into a more uh mature a more uh refined i do enjoy the vanilla here a lot
i do like the cedar that comes to play along with the white musk giving this really nice sensual
touch to the scent and of course last we not forget the beautiful suede leather that i talked
about which really at this point from the dry down is going to be really present here rounding things
off nice and giving the scent like i said before like a blazer a nice sweet jacket it just
envelops you perfectly this is going to be a very good scent for nocturnal events for close
encounters date scenarios romantic settings or like those kind of work scents you know could be
a good office set as long as you don't go crazy on the spray i think this one can be very refined and
very well put together when you're dressed up or dressed apart to really put your best foot forward
for those you know more dressier occasions i think this will be perfect i think it's definitely an
eclectic scent or versatile enough that you can pull this off all year round i would like to wear
this perhaps early spring and fall the best for for my rotation but i think if you control your
sprays you can pull this off in the summertime if you're going to an evening event if you go into a
location where there's air conditioning going on you definitely can pull this off all year
round so it's got a lot of versatility going on here even though it's got some heavy nose
like the lavender the tonka and the vanilla it has these beautiful nuances with the cedar
you know the lavender here is not overly sweet but it is a little bit powdery so it could be better
and best fit for cooler weather or evening would do good as well or dressier occasions when i
look at the bottle when i look at the scent profile i feel it i think this has a feel of
a dressier kind of a scent something that i would definitely wear for evening wear from going out to
dinners if i'm going to wear a shirt like this or a shirt and a tie or even a blazer with no tie or
a suit i think this would be great for those purposes so if you're looking for a dressier
or nocturnal fragrance in your wardrobe definitely check this one out i think you're going to be
pleasantly surprised here. Performance was actually quite good in this one it pushes
really nice for the first two and a half three hours which is really not bad i'm liking that
these fragrance houses are putting out i mean armani in general has good performing fragrances
so two plus hours projection longevity eight plus if you like to spray your clothes like myself or
your garment this stuff here will last a long time ten plus hours which is really not bad again
armani code is notorious for being well you know performing fragrances and leaves a really nice
scent bubble a really nice sillage above average for sure my overall thoughts your final thoughts
on armani code eau de parfum 2021 release i had high hopes for this one i'm a little bit
underwhelmed but i do like the fact that it's not following suit to the very sweet tonka, vanilla
kind of fragrances with the ambroxan that we have of late this one here actually goes back and pays
homage to the original 2004 armani code which i like i own a vintage bottle of armani code which is
very strong and i also have a smaller current formulation that was released a couple years ago
which is really faint and maybe a third of what that fragrance used to be this one here goes back
to the original roots of the armani code with the beautiful tonka the lavender the musk here
this is actually really nice very sensual very nice composition a good release not
groundbreaking nothing new here but i like the fact that they're going back to the roots of
the original armani code 2004 perhaps next year we'll have an eau de parfum extreme
or noir version of this and who knows you know maybe they'll add some other infusions here like
a tobacco like a boozy facet that'll make this even better but you know not bad, a good release
let me know your thoughts in the comments have you tried the new eau de parfum 2021
which one is your favorite from all the different armani codes i like this one a lot i think the
original is really groundbreaking but i do enjoy the profumo the best from everything else
that has been released over the past few years, armani code absolute absolute gold was kind of like
redundant especially gold but the absolute was really good as well if you like a more gormandy
overly sweet kind of fragrance but again those are my thoughts guys let me know in the comments which
one is your favorite and why and of course if you do enjoy these videos i keep you guys in the know
