This original version is now considered a discontinued classic. I'm glad I have this one in my collection as it's being reformulated. Giorgio Armani has pretty much discontinued the entire original Code line. Last year they released the Parfum edition in a whole new bottle design, and now they are releasing the new EDT in the new bottle look. With this one, the lemon and star anise makes a great combination in the opening. The star anise is the prominent note in the opening. As it starts to dry down the olive blossom takes over along with the leather note. In the full dry-down, the tonka and tobacco become noticeable with the tobacco being the prominent note. Performance is pretty decent as I get 7 to 8 hours on my skin with a couple of hours of projection. 👌🏼
