Armani Code has been a cornerstone of men's fragrance since its launch — dark,
seductive, and unmistakably sophisticated. At $155 RRP, it's accessible but still
a splurge. Lie 85 is our Giorgio Armani Code dupe, hand poured in Sydney for just $45.

It opens with a bright, clean burst of lemon and bergamot — crisp and refined
before quickly deepening into its true character. The heart layers spicy clove and
earthy patchouli over a warm base of sandalwood, amber, and lingering musk. The
result is a fragrance that feels polished and magnetic without ever trying too hard.

This is the kind of scent that works just as well in the boardroom as it does on
a date — versatile, long-lasting, and consistently a crowd-pleaser. Whether you've
worn Armani Code for years and want a more affordable daily driver, or you're
discovering the scent for the first time, Lie 85 delivers the full experience at
a fraction of the cost.

Vegan, cruelty-free, and hand poured in small batches in Sydney. Free shipping on
all Australian orders over $99.

Fragrance FAQ

Q: Is Lie 85 a good dupe for Armani Code?
A: Yes — Lie 85 captures the same warm, seductive character as Giorgio Armani Code,
built around lemon, bergamot, sandalwood, and musk. Same signature, same
sophistication, for $45 instead of $155.

Q: What does Armani Code smell like?
A: Armani Code is a warm, masculine oriental fragrance — fresh citrus on top, spicy
and earthy in the heart, with a deep, woody-amber base. It's polished, seductive,
and versatile enough for both day and evening wear.

Q: Where can I buy an Armani Code dupe in Australia?
A: Right here. Lie 85 ships Australia-wide from Sydney via Australia Post, with free
shipping on orders over $99.

Q: Is Lie 85 the same as Armani Code Parfum or Armani Code EDT?
A: Lie 85 is inspired by the core Armani Code scent DNA — the warm, citrus-woody
oriental profile shared across the Code range. It's a great affordable alternative
whether you love the EDT or the Parfum concentration.

Q: Does Lie 85 last as long as the original Armani Code?
A: Our fragrances are hand poured in small batches and benefit from maceration — the
scent deepens and lasts longer the more the bottle is used. For best longevity, apply
to moisturised skin or pulse points.

smells perfect!

I bought Lie 85 expecting it to be at least somewhat comparable to Armani Code based on the advertising, but honestly I feel pretty disappointed. I understand that inspired fragrances and dupes will never smell exactly like the original, but this doesn’t smell close enough to Armani Code for me to consider it a true dupe.

The biggest issue for me is that it smells very sweet, which is not what I expected from something advertised as an Armani Code-inspired scent. It lacks the warmth and smoothness that makes Armani Code so appealing.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t repurchase.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest feedback — we genuinely appreciate it, and we're sorry Lie 85 didn't meet your expectations.

We completely understand the frustration when a fragrance doesn't perform the way you hoped, especially when you've been drawn in by a comparison to a beloved scent like Armani Code.

One thing that may help explain your experience is a process called maceration. When a fragrance is freshly bottled, the aromatic compounds haven't had time to fully blend and harmonize — this can cause certain notes (especially sweet or top notes) to smell louder, sharper, or more unbalanced than intended. Over time, as the fragrance macerates (typically 2–4 weeks of resting in a cool, dark place), the notes settle and integrate, revealing the deeper, warmer, smoother character of the scent. Many customers find the initial impression of a fresh bottle changes significantly after this resting period.

If you haven't already, we'd love for you to try setting the bottle aside for a few weeks and giving it another wear — you may find the warmth and smoothness you were hoping for begins to emerge.
