Codie is from Zoya's fall 2011 Smoke and Mirrors collection. It is one of the Smoke (creme) colors and is described as a "blackened espresso brown creme with subtle olive undertones". All I personally see is the blackened espresso and, with 2 coats, it appears to be a subdued black. I think that this color is dupeable, but I say I'd repurchase because I love Zoya's formula. Their colors apply opaque and are shiny.
