Chaos Fragrances / Head to head
Code EDT vs. Code EDP (2024)
Which should you buy?
These two make a useful side-by-side sample if you like the idea of citrus over a warm tonka base. The modern Code EDT brings lavandin and cedarwood into that picture, while the EDP labeled 2024 puts nutmeg at the center of its official description. We’d begin with the EDT for an aromatic, woody direction, or the EDP if warm spice is what catches your interest. There’s enough shared ground that owning both won’t be an obvious choice for everyone.
Try the EDT first for aromatic woods, or the 2024 EDP for warm spice. Both keep tonka in the picture. The featured Jomashop headings list 1.7 oz for the EDT and 2.5 oz for the EDP, so compare the sizes as well as the totals.

Aromatic woods or warm spice?
Armani’s current EDT description highlights green mandarin, lavandin, tonka bean and cedarwood. Its description of the EDP pictured here highlights green mandarin, nutmeg and tonka bean. We’d use the aromatic-versus-spicy distinction to choose which sample to try first. Both can appeal to someone who enjoys a warm base with citrus, and the balance you notice after wearing them may matter more than any one note.
Armani Code EDT
We’d start here if you enjoy aromatic notes with warm woods. Try the modern EDT during an ordinary day and see whether it feels like something you’ll want to keep reaching for.
The tradeoff If warm spice is the part you’re looking forward to, try the EDP too. A preference for the EDT’s opening may change once you’ve spent more time with both.

Armani Code EDP (2024)
This is the one we’d try first if warm spice is usually your thing. Give the nutmeg-and-tonka direction time on skin, especially if you already have a fragrance for similar plans.
The tradeoff There’s shared ground with the EDT. If you already own and enjoy it, sample this EDP before deciding whether the difference gives you another choice you’ll use.

Where will you wear it?
Use these as starting points. Your preferences and application matter most.
You want one Code for regular wear
Begin with the EDTIts aromatic, woody description makes it our first sample for ordinary days. Wear it through the sort of day you actually have in mind. If the EDP’s spice appeals more when you try them, there’s no reason to reserve that choice for evenings.
You’re choosing for an evening
Try the EDP’s warm spiceThe nutmeg-and-tonka direction gives you a reason to start with the EDP. The EDT is worth trying for those same plans if you tend to enjoy aromatic woods. Notice which one you like while sitting indoors as well as when you first spray it.
You already own a Code bottle
Check the version, then sample the otherAn older Code bottle may differ from the versions pictured here. Check what you own before treating this as a simple concentration upgrade. If yours is one of these two, a sample of the other will help you decide whether the overlap is useful or unnecessary.
You’re comparing the featured bottles
Allow for the different sizesAfter confirming 50 ml for the EDT and 75 ml for the EDP in matching condition, compare the delivered totals per ml. The EDP can cost more overall and still have a lower unit cost. Choose a quantity you expect to use, particularly if Code will be an occasional fragrance.
Give each a full day on skin
Try them on separate days with a comfortable, similar amount. Notice how each settles once the opening has passed, then check again later when you’d still want to smell it. Include some time indoors, especially if that’s where you’ll usually wear Code. The EDP label alone doesn’t establish which lasts longer on your skin or which feels better at close range.
Found your signature?
We’d put the EDT first if aromatic woods sound like an easy fit with what you already enjoy. The 2024 EDP goes first if you’d rather explore warm spice around the shared tonka theme. If you own one, wear a sample of the other when you’d normally reach for it. A second bottle makes more sense when you find yourself wanting each for a different reason. Let that choice come before the larger size or the concentration label.

Our photo shows the bottle marked Eau de Parfum without a carton or readable volume.

See fragrance & retailer options →Compare the value. The featured Jomashop headings list the EDT at 1.7 oz and the 2024 EDP at 2.5 oz. Armani’s size listings associate those sizes with 50 ml and 75 ml respectively; confirm the selected metric volumes and matching bottle condition at the retailer. For confirmed 50 ml and 75 ml retail bottles, divide the delivered totals by 50 and 75. The EDP has the lower cost per ml when its total is less than one and a half times the EDT’s. Include shipping, tax and applicable coupon terms, and recalculate for another size or a tester. Compare refills separately from complete spray bottles. The smaller EDT may still suit you better if you’ll use Code only now and then.
Still deciding?
Should I buy Armani Code EDT or EDP (2024)?
We’d sample the modern EDT first for an aromatic, woody direction, or the 2024 EDP for warm spice. Both feature tonka in Armani’s descriptions. If you own one, try the other before deciding whether you want two bottles for similar plans.
What are the main scent differences?
Armani’s current EDT description highlights green mandarin, lavandin, tonka bean and cedarwood. The detailed description of this EDP highlights green mandarin, nutmeg and tonka bean. These selected cues suggest an aromatic-versus-spicy comparison; they are not complete note pyramids.
Does this comparison cover every Armani Code EDT and EDP?
It covers the modern EDT bottle pictured here and the EDP Jomashop labels 2024. Older EDT and EDP presentations may differ. Code Parfum and Code Elixir are also separate choices. Check the full version name rather than treating every Code bottle as the same fragrance at a different concentration.
Does Armani Code EDP last longer than the EDT?
The labels alone don’t establish that on your skin. Wear each on a separate day with a comfortable, similar amount and check back after the opening, then later. Notice whether you still enjoy it as well as how much you can smell, especially indoors.
Which Jomashop bottles do the shopping links reference?
The EDT link references item 3614273636582, headed EDT Spray 1.7 oz. The EDP link references item 3614273636414, headed Eau de Parfum (2024) EDP Spray 2.5 oz. Armani associates those ounce sizes with 50 ml and 75 ml. Confirm the selected volumes and conditions before buying; our photos do not establish those details or guarantee delivered packaging.
How should I compare value when the sizes differ?
For confirmed 50 ml EDT and 75 ml EDP retail bottles in matching condition, divide their delivered totals by 50 and 75 respectively. The EDP has the lower cost per ml when its total is less than one and a half times the EDT’s. Include shipping, tax and applicable coupon terms; recalculate for other sizes or testers, and compare refills separately from complete bottles.
