Which weather suits Code Golden Edition
The best time of year to wear it is spring. It is less suited to fall. Ranked by season: spring, winter, summer and fall.
For work or for evenings
It works better in the day than at night, so it is a good pick for work, school and daily wear. Its citrus side keeps it clean and easy. For evenings, Bvlgari Man In Black has more depth.
Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. Eau de Cologne is the lightest strength, so a shorter wear time is normal. Guerlain Vetiver Guerlain and Clive Christian Jump Up And Kiss Me Hedonistic last longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Giorgio Armani Code Parfum lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like leather and tonka bean are the part that stays longest on the skin.
