What do reviewers say about Armani Code Ultimate and Midnight in Paris?
Anise divides people. Vanilla silences the argument. This is the Code that says: I've made my choice. Sweet, warm, and confident enough to hold its own in any room, even when it doesn't fill one.Armani Code Ultimate
This one caught me off guard. Leather in an EDT from a jeweler-turned-perfumer sounds like a risk, but it works. The mate and lily of the valley keep the leather from feeling heavy.Midnight in Paris
