Giorgio Armani Code for Women Eau de Parfum 75ml is a sensual floral oriental composed around the contrast between sun-bright orange blossom, soft spice and warm honey-vanilla. Created in 2006 by master perfumer Carlos Benaïm as the feminine counterpart to the bestselling Armani Code for Men, it opens with a luminous burst of Italian orange and bitter orange, leads into a heart of jasmine, orange blossom and ginger, and settles on a creamy base of honey, vanilla and sandalwood.

About Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani is the Italian luxury fashion house founded in 1975 in Milan, internationally known for its precision tailoring and minimalist aesthetic. Giorgio Armani Beauty operates under L'Oréal Luxe and has produced an unbroken line of bestsellers since the 1980s, including Armani Si, Acqua di Giò, Mania and the Code family. Armani Code for Women — sometimes labelled "Code Pour Femme" — was conceived as the womanly mirror of the angular men's original, swapping leather and tobacco for orange blossom and honey while keeping the same Italian-glamour codes.
Who it's for
Code for Women suits women drawn to warm, lightly spiced floral fragrances with a soft gourmand drydown. It works best from autumn through early spring and reads beautifully in evening, dinner-date and formal contexts. Wearers of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium, Lancôme La Vie Est Belle and Dolce & Gabbana The One often gravitate to Armani Code for a more orange-blossom-led alternative.
How to use
- Hold the bottle around 15 cm from the skin and spray onto pulse points — the wrists, the side of the neck and behind the ears.
- Two to three sprays is plenty; the honey-and-vanilla drydown projects strongly in the first hour.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together; it bruises the citrus opening and shortens longevity.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Armani Code for Women last on the skin?
Longevity is good — typically 6–8 hours on skin and longer on clothing. Sillage is moderate-to-strong in the opening hour and softens into a close, honey-warm skin-scent thereafter, anchored by sandalwood.
Is Armani Code for Women the same as the men's Armani Code?
No. The men's Armani Code (2004) is a leather-tobacco-bergamot composition by Antoine Lie, Antoine Maisondieu and Clement Gavarry. The women's Code (2006) is a separate Carlos Benaïm composition built around orange blossom, honey and vanilla. They share a brand and visual language but smell distinctly different.
What does Armani Code for Women smell like?
Warm, glowing and softly spiced — Italian orange and orange blossom open it, jasmine and ginger lift the heart, and a creamy honey-vanilla drydown gives it the sensual, candle-lit character that has kept it in production for nearly two decades.
