Azzaro Pour Elle

Azzaro Pour Elle was announced in February 2015 but only started to be sold in May of that year. It reached the market to open a new pillar of feminine fragrances, making pair with the classic Azzaro Pour Homme (1978). Its bottle is multifaceted and was inspired by the mirrors of the showroom in the Parisian boutique. It plays with the light and brings a bright band as adornment, which gives an extra charm. In addition, it is refillable, following the trend of some houses in the industry. So be aware, since the spray is threaded. In the composition, head notes of champagne, green cardamom, and citrus. In the body of the fragrance, lily and absolute of roses. In its base, frankincense, and cashmeran (synthetic note, also known as cashmere wood). Azzaro Pour Elle brings, at once, an explosion of well-being and an air of innovation. I must confess that when I published on my website the announcement of its release, I was expecting an older and heavy fragrance of floral-powdery style because it is a female version of a classic with almost 40 years old. But I was completely mistaken! Azzaro Pour Elle is a modern and deliciously versatile perfume that breaks gender barriers and pretends to be feminine when, in fact, it is extremely shareable. Its output is spicy and full of bubbly nuances, thanks to the note of champagne. On my skin, the citric accord gives a slightly sour nuance, which opens the way to the floral heart. At this stage, the lily reigns supreme with its solar facets, slightly spicy and sometimes powdery. Over time, the fragrance begins to behave creamier and sweet. Regarding the frankincense, what stands out is the smell of the resin, instead of the smoky aroma. Evolution takes us to a base of woody and warm nuances, in a fragrance of good projection and high durability (about ten hours, on my skin). My only criticism is the name, which could be Pour Femme, instead of Pour Elle (for her), which would make more sense if the masculine classic was called Pour Lui (for him). Azzaro Pour Elle is an amazing Eau de Parfum that manages to combine elegance and sophistication, without having to go for exotic or dense nuances, common in the opulent floral or in the gourmands of nowadays. It is possible to understand, perfectly, the concept of a seductive and solar fragrance, defended by the company. Feminine? No way.

I was looking for a cozy, wool cardigan smell, and I found it in this, and it has become a quick love! Thanks to those who recommended it. For me, it opens with a bit of sweetness and a slightly plastic (pleasant though) sparkle. A mellow orange note when first sprayed (not sharp or acidic) with a bit of spice. The opening is pretty enough on its own, but it’s the lovely dry down that is just beautiful for me. It starts to head into a slightly powdery almost musky territory that’s not unlike the vibe of a Narciso fragrance. The soft, unobtrusive rose is far more prominent to me than other reviews or note pyramid suggest. When it dries down the longevity is great and the cashmere and vanilla become a beautiful duo. It creates a relaxing scent that evokes feelings of snuggling up on a rainy day with a warm blanket by a fire. The gentle, ever-present woodiness keeps this more dry, rather than sweet, juicy and generic. Overall, a really lovely perfume that goes on a bit of a journey and ends somewhere really warm and inviting. It’s going on my wish list.

Love this on skin. The soft cashmere wood really stands out, reminds me of something between Flowerbomb Dew and Boucheron Place Vendome- the same soft cashmere woods and sweetness, plus a tiny bit of incense and cardamom spice. Its very "daytime" cozy, not too sweet and not too loud of harsh. DO NOT spray this into the air to freshen a room. I promise you it is a mistake. None of the notes come through, and it somehow turns into a pickle funk if you dont give it skin to evaporate off of. I have been afraid to wear this now because i made this mistake and fear this is all I will smell if i try to wear it again. Please heed my advice and dont ruin this scent for yourself. Skin and fabric only.

This was released in South Africa not too long ago & usually there's a special 'release price'. I didn't pay much for my 30ml bottle & after a while, decided that I need a 50ml too :) This reminds me of tobacco, the type you smoke in a pipe, but before it is lit. This also lasts super long! I really love this fragrance, it is soft, non-offencive, sweet and musky EDIT: I am wearing this today and simply can't stop sniffing myself! This fragrance makes me feel sophisticated, warm and happy. I will absolutely purchase this once I run out! I would also like to test it in the Spring to see how it works with my chemistry then

Got test-sprayed with this today. Wow. Two words: understated sexiness. Woody-cardamom with an undertone of "cleanness" - the citrus note? It's not over-sweet, just lovely and classy. Unfortunately it doesn't last very long on my skin and the development of the scent is limited, so it might not appeal to ladies with a love for highly complex scent.
