Code Elixir is a parfum for men by Giorgio Armani, launched in 2025 as the most concentrated version of the Armani Code line. The house blends amber, leather and spicy notes: a green Calabrian mandarin essence opens onto a liquor accord and a smoky leather accord, and the toasted tonka bean, a hallmark of the line, forms the base.
Giorgio Armani classifies Code Elixir among the ambers, with leathery and spicy facets. The composition rests on three stages the house names: a green mandarin, a heart of liquor and leather, and toasted tonka bean.
Top, heart and base
At the top opens a green Calabrian mandarin super essence, lively and fresh. The heart pairs a liquor accord with a smoky leather accord; the base rests on toasted tonka bean, which the house regards as the hallmark of Armani Code.
The notes are arranged here as follows: mandarin at the top; leather in the heart; tonka bean in the base, with the liquor accord left out of this list.
What the label declares
After alcohol, fragrance and water, the list opens with coumarin, the main odorant constituent of tonka bean, with limonene and with linalool, both found in citrus.
Isoeugenol, eugenol and cinnamal, with spicy hints, appear at the end of the list. A UV filter protects the liquid; no colorant is declared.
