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

Beautiful but very faint. Woody, sligthly peppery,shavings with a hint of fruit/mild citrus. Sophisticated,in the same leage with Lacoste pour femme, Trussardi Inside,or L'ARTISAN's. After some workout it stayed on my skin and became sweet, delicious,buttery light. And.....I have just realised that it resembles to my beloved YSL Elle, just lighter.

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.

this was a gift and i love it! it's different than my others but what a lovely scent perfect for datenight or something like that! when i first spray it i was not a fan but after 2 min i was like omg what do i smell ??? it's so lovely and hmmmm you need to try this one! it's one of my best! and the bottle is so nice! verry classy

This a solid fave. I gifted myself this precious gem on my birthday. Fresh, sweet, feminine, clean and cozy. I have received the most compliments on this one about how i smell like i just bathed. It smells classy to me. I swoon every time is smell the nozzle of the bottle. UGH!!!

Love love love the smell! I've always been a huge fan of the Azzaro cologne and I was so excited when I saw this one hit shelves. I love it! It lasts me all day and people do notice it. It's powdery but sexy and the same time. Really makes a woman feel sexy. 10/10 ~luciana

I didn't care about the house of Azzaro until today. Until I smelled Pour Elle. It's such a feminine perfume without being too sweet, floral, provocative or in your face. Just well balanced and perfect for everyday use. The bottle is just gorgeous ❤❤❤

Really nice. A little spiced, a little comforting, a tad sweet but not too sweet. Not really much else to add. Got it for $20 USD. Lasts several hours.

I love this fragrance! Soft woods and slightly sweet citrus.I am desperate to find a bottle ,so if you have one, let me know!

I hope it's not a limited edition. Because i love it at first sniff <3 It can be a perfect signature scent for me..

This is such a nice, comforting smell, and has this familiar quality that I can't quite place--maybe it reminds of something my Dad used to wear? That warm, creamy base of cashmere & sandalwood is just so spot on and makes me feel happy and loved. The champagne and citrus combo reads more like a bitter grapefruit bite to me, and the cardamom comes across as ginger. This lasts quite a long time on me (close to 12 hours), doesn't develop much, just gradually loses that citric undertow. The strong cashmere/olibanum carrier is present throughout. Actually, there are days when I put this on and the citrus gets almost completely lost, my nose goes straight for the base. But I also love that playful bubbliness of champagne wafting from behind the olibanum every now and then. In warm/stuffy places the champagne note almost has a salty quality to it. Salty sandalwood caramel, if you will. So thrilled to discover this scent, completely by accident. I'm surprised it's not more popular but then again, I gag at the majority of drugstore offerings anyways. This will stay with me for a while. Update: Just realized the same person created this and Perles de Lalique, another nuanced, well-construed scent I love. Quite fitting. Also, the more I wear it, the more I distinguish the peach in the base. Ordinarily I'm not too crazy about this note, but I don't mind it here. Overall, I'm surprised how complex this is. Depending on the day/aura/body activity, it offers you a new delightful twist. I wear it when I don't want to overpower people with my signature Jungle but still want to feel good about myself (on hiking trips, trails, in common rooms, while working out, etc.)

It's a rare pleasure for me to be able to compare two fragrances from the same family side by side, and "family" is a very apt word to describe Azzaro Pour Elle and Pour Elle Extreme. The former fragrance is as the vibrant, shimmering maiden newly aglow with blossoming womanhood, while the latter scent is sumptuously evolved as a ripened, matured matron in her twilight. Azzaro Pour Elle sparkles with an enlivening freshness, courtesy of a champagne accord that gracefully tempers the rose and brings luscious cardamom-spiced tangerine to the party. This isn't a zesty citrus, but a deliciously jammy marmalade brightened by a sparkling wine gelee. The cashmere woods are freshly laid, as yet untouched by the patina of time. Pour Elle is virginal and pure, yet brimming with evocative, sensual curiosity. Conversely, Pour Elle Extreme is as a full bodied vintage wine: a darkly vermilion cabernet with notes of rich, roasted peaches and saffron-dipped rose. This is a seductive, spicy floral oud for a confident dame who craves a potent, heady redolence left in her wake. Of the two, Pour Elle has my heart, while Extreme has my reverence. She's too grand and all-encompassing for my desire, but on the right skin, Pour Elle Extreme would be purely intoxicating.

Azzaro Pour Elle has been quite the shapeshifter to me. I received it via a swap, and initially, I was turned off by the opening. The citrus blast combined with cardamom and underlying olibanum created the dreaded impression of pencil shavings that I often find scents with pepper leave on my skin. I stashed it away and forgot about it. I returned a year later to discover that this is one of those scents that just smell much better on clothing than skin! When I spray my sweater or scarf, I find the sandalwood dancing with the cashmeran, lifting and turning with the champagne so that it doesn't become too heavy or overpowering. I still can't find the peach note, but it doesn't really matter. It is quite beguiling once the harsh opening settles- however, on occasion, I do notice that it does feel pretty synthetic, as others have mentioned. The cashmeran is probably the most dominant note, so steer clear if that's not your thing.

As others have described this is an extremely cozy scent, perfect for relaxing at home or on a cool weather vacation retreat. The cashmere stands out followed by the peach and champagne, I don't smell a lot of rose but vanilla is very present to my nose. This is a beautiful everyday fragrance perfect for any occasion. Longevity is average, sillage is soft. Update 9/2020 I have been wearing this scent lately and although the top of this fragrance can be a bit sour and almost off putting the dry down is fabulous! This is a warm cozy fragrance for a mature woman in my opinion. Very classy, reminds me of a cashmere sweater. The nutty pistachio note remains throughout and the dry down has a balsamic quality. Very tenacious on clothing! I can smell it for days on my clothing! This is a highly underrated fragrance in my view.

وقتی این عطر رو تست می‌کنید تندی خاصی داره که معمولا مورد پسند نیست، اما هرچی به عطر زمان بدید ضرر نمی‌کنید. در مجموع عطر خاص و خوش ساختی هست و هرم بویایی و تغییر نت‌هارو به معنی واقعی حس می‌کنید. به نظرم برای خانم‌های میانسال یا خانم‌های جوونی که به عطرهای رسمی علاقه دارن گزینه خوبی می‌تونه باشه. قوی‌ترین نت‌های این عطر به نظرم شامپاین، نارنگی، هلو، کندر، چوب کشمیر و چوب صندل هستند. When you are testing this perfume, top notes are very special and harsh, but you must wait for it! little by little perfume become perfect! pour elle is a special perfume at all, and it has a really good quality. I think it's a good option for middle-aged women or for young women who are interested in formal perfumes. The strongest notes of this perfume are champagne, mandarin, peach, Olibanum, cashmere wood and sandalwood.

The tester is much better than the bottle you buy at the stores. Tester is more concentrate, richer, longer lasting, fruity, delicious! The bottle I bought 15 minutes after tested azzaro pour elle is a bit watery, it doesn't last with intensity... Really: not so good as the tester. Shame on you Azzaro! P.s.: on the web I found a tester bottle of this! Already ordered! Edit: more I wear it, more I love it. The incredible about this scent is that it's not that original, it's not that exceptional perfume, but it's so good, so intimate, so cozy, so wearable, so everyday and every occasion scent that it's impossible not to love it. You can wear it all year round. Easy to like and easy to wear. Love it, love it, love it. Edit #2: comfort-zone scent, in a good way.

Azzaro Pour Elle has soft, lilting, warm sweetness which is not at all cloying. After a fleeting tangerine opening, the creaminess of the Cashmeran takes over, and coats the other notes. The floral heart is simply an anchor; I do not detect any individual flower notes. The wood is some type of sandalwood/cedar synthetic that is equally matched by the cardamom. This one surprised me in a few ways. First, it is almost linear and blended very well. The composition is harmonious. Second, it is overwhelmingly synthetic. Other than the cardamom, there is nothing natural nor is there an appropriate fixative base. Despite the pleasant, cloudy effect this scent imparts, I could never wear something that feels so akin to polyester.
