Stuck in an Armani Code perfume rut - help!

9 replies

MotherofDragons82 · 01/07/2013 11:23

For years I've been wearing Armani Code. Now I'm in need of some new perfume and - well - I don't think I like it anymore.
It's just a bit, well, heavy. And cloying. Although I like the smell, I think perhaps something fresher might be the way to go?

So, has anyone got any suggestions for someone who likes Code but needs a change?
I know nothing, absolutely nothing, about perfume. Please help!

I like Armani Code, but I also wear Eternity Moment which is a light floral scent, and Floris by Gucci. If I want something a little more substantial then Alien by Thierr Mugler or Ange ou Demon is good.

Jo Malone Orange Blossom and Tom Ford Portofino are both lovely and summery with the citrus tang of Code but without any of the heaviness.

I go from Clinique aromatics in autumn/ winter to boss orange in spring/ summer, then that estee lauder really gorgeous one that you can only get in summer,but I can't remember what its 'called......

Haha I've worn code for years, that is, until I discovered Alien by Thierry mugler. I am complimented on it loads, and am already as attached to it as I was to Code x

Ahhhh I love Alien by TM. It's just... Amazing Smile

I used to wear Armani Code all the time.

Also a big fan of Victor+Rolf Flowerbomb.

At the moment my favourite is D&G l'imperatrice - really summery fresh fragrance that I just wear in the day.

Aside from that I'm a fan of Calvin Klein fragrances. Particularly Eternity Moments, which has been mentioned here before, and Euphoria Spring Temptation (bought as a present last Christmas!). Both I find fresh scents if that's what you're after! www.thelondonperfumecompany.com/calvin-klein-perfume-her
