Are you intrigued by the Code Green cologne from Next but hesitant to dive in without knowing what it smells like? Don’t worry—I’ve got you covered. Here, I’m sharing everything you need to know about the delicious scent and a few more from Next, so if you haven’t ever bought a fragrance from the high street brand, you might learn a thing or two.

Next has been catching the attention of TikTokers who noticed the brand was offering perfume dupes that rival designer fragrances. For instance, the Aura perfume at £10 is hailed as one of the best dupes out there for Thierry Mugler’s £80 Alien, and the brand’s £16 Just Pink scent is said to match Ralph Lauren’s £85 Romance. There’s plenty more where that came from too. Read more about Next’s best perfume dupes.

That said, not all of Next’s scents are dupes. Code Green is one of the brand’s own colognes, that smells truly unique. Here, I’m sharing all the details about Next’s affordable cologne. If you’re looking for more scent dupes, read more about Zara’s best perfume dupes for women and men.
