Azzaro Pour Homme Night Time

Azzaro Pour Homme Night Time EDT opens with a moderate projection of spicy, citrus, and green notes. The opening is dark, unique, intense, bold, and elegant. The rhubarb, bitter orange, and black pepper are the most noticeable opening notes. The rhubarb is a particular note, and it adds a strong, sour, green, vegetal-like, and spicy accord. This note gives the fragrance its uniqueness. The black pepper and nutmeg are one step behind but are noticeable. They also contribute with a piquant, warm, earthy, hot spicy, and woody accord making the fragrance feel masculine and dark. Not described officially, the combination of rhubarb and spices creates a mild smoky accord evocative of incense or dark woods. The bitter orange is a brief opening note, citrusy, bitter, slightly sweet with a delectable touch, but it will soon move towards the back of the fragrance. As time passes, the vetiver and cedar appear as support notes adding a faint green and woody touch. The fragrance has a brief and noticeable opening to dry down transition; the opening favors the bitter orange, rhubarb, and spices. From them, the delectable sour, sweet, bitter orange will rise and soon recede as the vetiver and cedar surface to become support notes. Also, the initial sharpness subsides, the edges smooth out, and the fragrance becomes dry under the effects of the vetiver. Once Azzaro Pour Homme Night Time EDT has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a moderate projection, fruity-veggie rhubarb, spicy black pepper, nutmeg, bitter orange, cedar, and vetiver fragrance. The fragrance feels exotic, masculine, mature, mild, slightly dark, nicely blended, playful, rare, rich, sophisticated, special, unique, versatile, woody, and pleasant.

Released in 2011, after the success achieved with the sales of Azzaro Pour Homme Elixir (2009), this cologne came to my wish list, ever since I met it on an international trip I have done. But I think the company lost itself in concept, by stating that the name describes, clearly, the ideal time to wear this new olfactory expression, i.e. at night. In my point of view, this fragrance can be worn at any time of the day but is not as sexy or seductive as the Elixir version. Azzaro Night Time is more versatile, even though transmits confidence. And it has no oriental notes in order to amplify the Oriental facet. On the contrary, it’s not sweet or creamy. It is aromatic and green, with a woody base. Its notes combine bitter orange and rhubarb, on top; Fern accord, black pepper, and nutmeg, in the heart; Cedar and vetiver, in the base. According to the manufacturer, it would be a retelling of the classic from 1978, Azzaro Pour Homme, maintaining the same olfactory structure: character (represented by anise), seduction (represented by Lavender) and timelessness (represented by the vetiver). In this respect, I agree! This Night Time version can be strong, seductive and timeless, within the current market male molds. It is not dated (old), but also not to party. When it reaches the skin, the output is fruity without being juicy. The rhubarb has this tart and fruity aroma that combines very well with notes of spices. And the orange helps to give the citric and bitter tone. Although many people don't like the nuance of rhubarb, for me this is the most interesting part of this scent. The evolution brings a greener level. Although the Fern has no smell, like Mint, for example, the accord that was used, along with the pepper, provides a drier smell, prefacing the Woody base. The cedar, in my opinion, ends the evolution with perfection. Its resinous, green, almost citrus and luminous aspect, produces a positive effect on any male fragrance. Making a crude comparison, I would say that this version is the most jovial and safe of all, while the Elixir version would be for the conqueror and romantic man and the original version for the classic and older man. To finish, the bottle kept the same visual identity of the line Pour Homme, with a discrete grayscale gradient.

This was a very surprising blind buy at TJ Maxx for only $20 which I didn't expect much from but am very glad to add to my collection. Azzaro's 'Night Time' is a citrus and rhubarb bomb with a base very similar to the original Azzaro Pour Homme, which is a classic powerhouse cologne that I love and enjoy wearing in the winter. The initial blast is a tart and bitter orange matched to strong rhubarb over nutmeg and vetiver. It comes off powerful, loud and projects really well for the first couple hours. Rhubarb is such a particular note, you will either love it or hate it. However, it is very unique and noticeable nonetheless. As it dries down, the cedarwood and rhubarb marry each other and it becomes very nice, not too masculine and not too sweet. Not too much citrus, not overly peppery and definitely not 'sporty' or 'aquatic' or 'fresh'. There's really nothing out there that smells like it in all the hundreds of fragrances I've sampled. The base is vetiver and cedar, which is still overshadowed and layered under the strong rhubarb, orange and nutmeg notes which blend together not so much in harmony as they do to shine and scream 'I am different'. At times you don't know if you love, hate or are on the fence about this scent. It's very polarizing, but the female compliments comes fairly easily, so that's a big plus for me. With a liberal application of ten sprays (neck, shoulders, chest and wrists) I am getting 7-10+ hours of longevity, with a few days on clothes and fabrics. Projection and sillage is strong for the first four hours, then it dies down to a skin scent. For the price this goes for, you can't go wrong with this one in your collection. It is very unique, women seem to like it, and it projects well enough for a night out on the town at the bars, clubs or date nights. For the serious collectors, there's nothing out there that smells like this so I recommend you get it for that reason alone.

Recieved a sample with another order a few years back and really liked it because it felt solid. Fast forward to 2018, I finally decided to purchase a full bottle after coming back to the sample on multiple occasions. One of the things I like to do when I lay in bed to write a review, is to spray a small spritz on the back of my hand while I write. It greatly helps me to decide how I shape my reviews. As I'm laying here smelling this scent, two words Immediately come to mind..."happy" and "clean". There's something in Azzaro Night Time that I just absolutely love. It gives me a drunkin catnip vibe, always putting me on a guaranteed cloud 9. The bitter orange and rhubarb combo is just brilliant here, but I think it's the sharpness of the orange that I like best, creating a chilly/cold and perhaps even a slightly watery feel burried deep in this unusual concoction. The rhubarb and other notes in Night Time creates a modern barber shop quality vibe that makes me want to walk a little bit taller while wearing Azzaro Night Time. In short, it turns me into a happy and humble, confident man. Try Christmas shopping and Christmas lighting after Thanksgiving dinner while wearing this. The rhubarb/nutmeg spice feels inviting and festive. It really shines through the chill. The more you wear it, the more you'll realize why Azzaro hit the nail on the head by calling this offering, "Night Time". This fragrance is perfect for a mature, modern guy, especially 35+. I challange some of you to try this "under the radar" gem. It really starts growing on you after awhile, and I have nothing in my 70+ bottle wardrobe that smells like this. Have fun!

I really like this Azzaro Night Time. Had I gone off of reviews here I would have never done a blind buy on this. In fact it sounded so lack luster in comparison to reviews for Azzaro Classic and Azzaro Onyx that I had already made up my mind to not get it based on my preferences. But, there it was... staring me in the face at TJ Max... so I said what the heck... Azzaro has impressed me before so I'll drop the 20 bucks. All I can say is wow! I love it! It starts off with a nice bitter orange and green bite with a hint of minty deception from the rhubarb that says "hey! I am right here!" After several minutes the greenery gets warmed up by a very nice cinnamon/nutmeg floral with a slight tinge of pepper. Very nice intrigue in the morphing that says "follow me!" In about an hour or so it becomes slightly sweet and soft with cedar, vetiver, and vanilla notes that stays closer to the skin and says "come closer..." So, how it starts is not how it ends... What it is not: It's not a projection bomb that would keep going for hours and hours and keep turning heads. It's not offensive or overpowering. What it is: A gentleman... Tipping his hat, and then daring you to find out more about him. It is inviting and warm, and tempts you to get a closer view. Hours later.... Who knows... I may have just found a new signature scent.
