Pros & Cons
- ✅ The original with tonka turned up a notch, and no leather. I love this fragrance. Now it’s hard to get, but I will always cherish my bottle!
- ✅ It starts with an orange citrusy smell but soon turns to warmer-spicy star anise and woody notes. Great for fall/winter days. Not too strong subtle fragrance. I believe it suits all ages. I give 7 out of 10.
- ✅ I was given this blind by my fiance at the time, after trying the original Code (and liking it). Yes, the smooooth bergamot and neroli are prominent on top, then a pit stop of some star anise. Smokey leather, bright vanilla, and some citrus still hanging around make their permanent stay enjoyable.
- ✅ Silky, elegant, seductive, lasts over 9 hours and, girls like it.
- ✅ I simply love it. Enough said !!!
- ✅ This is an amazing summer fragrance if going light in sprays.

This frag taps people on the shoulder to let them know it's around.
- ✅ Got a bottle of this a couple years ago when I first turned up my cologne game. Someone already summed it up perfectly below. 'The original with tonka turned up a notch, and no leather.' It takes the OG and puts a little twist on it. Makes it a little different so that if you love the DNA but want a change, this is an option. Super hard to find now, so don't go spending mega monies unless you are just a die-hard collector.
- ❌ oh Bby, not another sweet men´s cologne...why all the men have to smell like pussies nowaday?? Im a girly girl and want a man with a MANLY cologne on, nothing vanila, tonka, amber, caramel..etc. sweet
- ❌ very poor performance and very poor longevity not worth paying full price for a bottle...
- ❌ I'm disappointed that there are so many limited reviews on this fragrance.
