Where it fits.
Signature
Armani Code is spicy and sweet with a clear character, best in fall and winter.
Winter cold
Armani Code is warm, sweet and spicy, so it lasts in cold air.
Formal
Armani Code is polished, floral and woody, so it sits well with a suit.
All-rounder
Armani Code works in two seasons and many places, the one to grab when unsure.
