Code Homme - Eau de parfum

Strong smoky and warm scent

This scent is a very warm smoky scent, very strong and a little overpowering leather top note. If you prefer a strong leathery scent then this would be perfect for you. Very nice sleek black bottle.

Nice Leather Fragrance

Armani Code Elixir really surprised me. I don't consider it at all the typical designer fragrance: its complexity, evolution and quality of ingredients make me think more of niche perfumery than a commercial line. At the start it is spectacular, with a very elegant and worked leather accord, which makes the difference. In the dry down, a liquorish, sweet and vanilla facet appears. It is warm, enveloping and with a gourmand touch that never becomes cloying. I think it is a great option to use at formal events, especially on cold days since it is somewhat dense and in extreme heat it could suffocate. If you are a leather lover, without a doubt, you have to have it.

Sensual

Imagine a sharply dressed spy slipping into a party—mysterious, confident, and quietly magnetic. That’s Armani Code Elixir. It builds on the classic Armani Code DNA, but adds more richness and sensuality. Think sweet, warm, and smooth—yet still masculine and modern.

Definitely a go-to!

The scent was very manly and strong. Definitely very strong and had that smokey scent to it. Good for a night out. Very fancy packaging as well. Highly recommend this for any occasion

A newcomer's take on Armani Code Elixir

I'm just starting my fragrance journey, and this bottle of Armani Code Elixir is a recent addition to my collection. Right from the start, I was impressed by the magnetic cap mechanism it's a small satisfying touch that adds to the unboxing experience. The fragrance itself feels highly concentrated, which makes it perfect for occasional use when I want something more intense. The very first impression I got was a warm, spicy note, which quickly settled into a distinct boozy accord. It’s a rich and inviting combination. After looking up the official notes, I agree that the leather isn't a powerful, upfront element. However, I don't see this as a flaw. Instead, it contributes to a smoother, more wearable scent profile. My friend owns the original Armani Code, and I can confirm that Elixir is a distinct fragrance, not just a stronger version of its predecessor. It has its own unique character that sets it apart from the classic. The scent is definitely warm and best suited for colder seasons. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable wearing it in hot weather or during any activity where I might sweat, as its intensity could become overwhelming. For now, I'm happy to reserve this for evenings and special occasions when a bolder fragrance is just what I'm looking for

Strong leather scent

This is a very mature scent that may not be everyone’s favorite. The tops note is definitely leather with musky scent as well . I feel like a little bit will go a long way so the bottle will last you a while to get through . Not my favorite scent but not too bad . The bottle itself is very nice looking and looks expensive.

This perfume is worth trying!

I received this product for free from Armani Code and Influenster in exchange for this honest review. There’s something undeniably captivating about Armani Code Elixir. From the first spray, it feels bold and confident—definitely not your everyday scent. It opens with a warm, spicy sweetness that’s deep and a little mysterious, but still smooth and refined. I notice amber and tonka bean standing out, giving it that rich, slightly creamy edge, but balanced with a bit of freshness so it’s not overwhelming. What I really like is how long it lasts—it stays on for hours without fading too quickly. It’s definitely more of a statement scent, something I’d wear for a night out or special evening. Feels luxurious, elegant, and powerful—like putting on a sleek black suit. If you love something intense, masculine, and a little seductive, this one's worth trying. It has that classic Armani Code DNA, but deeper and more concentrated.

Elegant and powerful

This scent is smooth, warm, and long-lasting. It feels luxurious and modern, perfect for evenings or making a strong impression. The bottle itself looks sleek and premium. A classy, masculine fragrance that gets compliments every time. Love it!

Good strong

Smells very good and it’s very strong very solid price for it . It has a lot of juice in it the packaging is nice and it’s pretty versatile [ I received this product in exchange for my honest review]

Too strong and synthetic for daily wear—smells mor

I had high hopes for Armani Code Elixir, but it turned out to be way too heavy for my taste. The scent comes off harsh and overpowering, with a strong gasoline-like note that lingers in an unpleasant way. It might work for someone who prefers bold and intense fragrances, but for me, it felt synthetic and aggressive. Not something I’d reach for again, and definitely not versatile or easy to wear. The packaging is sleek, but that’s the best part of it for me.

Amazing scent and long lasting!

I'm a huge fan of this cologne. The smell is very nice and perfect for a date night. It has a combo of a leather and vanilla scent. It also lasts all day with just two sprays! I also love the design of the bottle. I'll definitely pick up another bottle when this one is done. I'd definitely recommend this to friends and family.

Seductive formal scent with a smokey and leathery

Armani Code Elixir is . . . intriguing. It has a bold, slightly sweet feel that's not overpowering. There’s a richness to it that's almost like a smoky vanilla wrapped in spice that makes it feel dressed up, but not too formal. It’s definitely seductive, but in a quiet way. I’m not entirely sure where I land on it though. Some days it feels like a signature scent; other days, maybe a bit too polished. But it’s undeniably well-crafted, and I keep coming back to it, which probably says something.
