Armani Code perfume specifications

The Armani Code collection has undergone a major transformation in recent years, shifting to a more sustainable, refillable bottle design and modernized scent profiles. As of 2026, the line consists of four main pillars, each with distinct specifications.

What are the ingredients of Armani Code perfume?

Armani Code is a famous fragrance line with several different versions. Because the "ingredients" can refer to either the scent notes (what you smell) or the chemical composition (what’s on the box), I’ve broken down both for the most popular versions.

1. Armani Code for Men (Original / EDT)

This is the classic, award-winning "bottled suit" fragrance. It is known for its smooth, leathery, and slightly spicy profile.

Phase Scent Notes

Top Notes: Lemon, Bergamot

Heart Notes: Star Anise, Olive Blossom, Guaiac Wood

Base Notes: Leather, Tonka Bean, Tobacco

Chemical Ingredients:

Alcohol Denat., Aqua (Water), Parfum (Fragrance), Limonene, Linalool, Coumarin, Hydroxycitronellal, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Hexyl Cinnamal, Geraniol, Citronellol, Citral.

2. Armani Code for Women (Eau de Parfum)

The women's version is a "floriental" (floral-oriental) fragrance centered around orange blossom and honey.

Phase Scent Notes

Top Notes Italian Orange, Jasmine, Bitter Orange

Heart Notes Orange Blossom, Jasmine Sambac, Ginger

Base Notes Honey, Vanilla, Sandalwood

Chemical Ingredients:

Alcohol, Parfum (Fragrance), Aqua (Water), Limonene, BHT, Linalool, Geraniol, Amyl Cinnamal, Coumarin, Citronellol, Citral, Benzyl Salicylate, Benzyl Alcohol.

3. Newer Variations (The "Parfum" & "EDP" for Men)

In recent years, Armani updated the line with more modern, refillable bottles and slightly different scent profiles:

Armani Code Parfum (2022):

Features Bergamot (top), Iris & Clary Sage (heart), and Tonka Bean & Cedarwood (base). It is much more powdery and "cleaner" than the original.

Armani Code Eau de Parfum (2021): A denser version of the original with Lavender, Nutmeg, and a heavy dose of Tonka Bean.

A Quick Tip on "Tonka Bean"

You’ll notice Tonka Bean in almost every Armani Code. This is the "secret sauce" of the line—it provides a sweet, warm, vanilla-like scent with hints of toasted almond and tobacco that gives the perfume its signature seductive quality.
