Bottle

Armani Code

Giorgio Armani launched Armani Code in 2004, first under the name Black Code, an eau de toilette signed by Antoine Lie and Antoine Maisondieu. The house classifies it among ambery woody scents. Since 2023, it has presented it in a refillable bottle and describes its composition, which it says is unchanged, through green mandarin, lavandin, tonka bean and cedar.

Since 2023, a black square bottle with rounded corners, refillable, its cap marked with the Giorgio Armani monogram on a silver plate.

Originally, the house linked the midnight blue color of the bottle to the Armani tuxedo worn by Denzel Washington at an Oscars ceremony. This flared bottle, hourglass-shaped according to Ron Pitt, remained the line’s silhouette for nearly twenty years.

In 2023, a black bottle, square with rounded corners, replaced it. Its glass base is clean-lined; beneath the cap bearing the Giorgio Armani monogram, a silver plate catches the light. The house says it makes it in a carbon-neutral French factory.

Every size is refillable thanks to a 150 milliliter refill. Refilling the 75 milliliter bottle saves, according to Armani, 38% of glass, 67% of metal and 22% of paper compared with three new bottles. The eau de toilette comes in 30, 50, 75 and 200 milliliters.
