I recently purchased several colognes to see which would be best recieved for my upcoming music school interviews. Along with Code, I also purchased Drakkar Noir, Curve and Polo. Although I like Drakkar, The Code lasts longer and has a more memorable scent to it. In addition, while Code is a popular cologne, Drakkar is exponentially more popular and quite overused, I might add. I did like the Curve, but while it is attractive, it does not seem sophisticated at all - more of a teenager's cologne for casual wear. I did not like the Polo at all. I've tested this cologne at work and have recieved plenty of positive comments from my co-workers to convince me that Armani Code is the right choice.
