Azzura

THanks to cisco,I am now the very proud owner of this fume.The opening is that of an open field growing with wildflowers.U stop to enjoy the smells and take a peach out of ur pocket for a snack.UMMM Orangey wildflowers.THen the classic,rose ,jasmine comes into play but,not without the sugary buttery apricots!I love the final phase.THe yuzu with its vanilla,the sexy yet sweet drydown is glorious.Thev whole experience is divine!Last a long time and projects well.

This is a scent I smelled years ago. The scent is etched in my memory for the uniqueness. Alas its discontinued. This is a wonderful orange and fuzzy scent and completely unique and unisex. Cant comment on other aspects as I dont own a bottle as it cant be found in stores due to discontinuation. I dont find any similarity with any fragrance on the market. But this scent invokes lots of nostalgia. Azzaro please bring this this back in some form.

I have an EdP. I think it's fantastic. It smells ripe fruit, late summer, ecru lace, rich people. I was hesitant towards the scent at first. A little suede cloth of navy colour was attached to my bottle so I sprayed the scent on, and used it every now and then to wipe my eye glasses clean. And suddenly I got hooked up. Beautiful, classy, elegant, inspiring. Love it.

I guess I am a real lover of Yuzu, because I ADORE this one as well as Eau Belle! Thank you very much Kastehelmi for your bottle!!

i have for sale 2 vintage bottles one 50 ml tester with 45ml in it and one refill EdP 50 ml. All vintage and bought in Italy

loved it! very different and unique!!

This is for the EDP. I honestly don`t find this smells like CoCo Mad at all, I did think it reminded me of Neblina for a few minutes, but the similarity is fleeting This opens very bitter and spicy, and pretty much dries down the same way but with citrus and dried apricots thrown in, I don`t find this juicy in the least. I find the sycamore is very prominent also, it makes it different and interesting. Even though this is strong , I can see it working well on hot summer nights. I think I like it, but it might be one of those perfumes I am not sure about but continue to wear any how. Time will tell. I have to say I have never really smelled another perfume like this. Besides the initial top notes this stay pretty linear on me (spice,citrus, dried apricots and sycamore, I get nothing else) edit. the mid notes last long, but now it`s changed, softer and sweeter, it`s amazing.

I wore this out of the house for the 1st time today and by 8:13 I had 2 compliements and another one about an hour later. My 1st impression was noted before, mossy Cristalle mixed with sweaty Acqua D Pamplelune...neither one a favorite of mine. I pick up alot more lily today, very much like Donna Karan Gold and more herbal citrus with a salty drydown. I'm still not a big fan, but those around me seem to like it. Update: You've really got to be a bitter citrus/yuzu/grapefruit fan to appreciate Azzura. This, mixed with the airy herbal quality it possesses make it perfect for late summer/fall. It's growing on me....

Azzura is a nice scent. As far as masculinity I can see where the opening could give that impression. However I don't find it anymore so than Niki de Saint or Galanos. The beginning is along those lines with a strong peach / apricot effect. The dry down reminds me a great deal of Givenchy Fleur d'Interdit, of which I am a fan, a slightly lighter version. It certainly doesn't top Fleur d'Interdit in my book, but still something to try if you enjoy that style of perfume.

Very nice! Blast of a bitter citric opening but has smoothed and mellowed into a gentle floral scent - rose, jasmine and scant vanilla with fruity undertones. Creamy and dreamy. Definitely mediterranean for me. Pretty much inoffensive if you have learnt to wait for the initial blast to subside! Classical and classy. Not a great silage and an average lifespan on my skin!

I find Azzura rich, dense and sunny. These are characteristics I usually associate with Italian fragrances. It is a deep, warm scent. I think I will enjoy it more in the cool of autumn, but I'm wearing now in early summer as well. It is a very comforting fragrance and I am enjoying it very much.

I loved the scent, but some ingredient- maybe the iridescent particles, gave me a rash when exposed to sunlight- I'd have a "necklace" of tiny spots all around my collarbones- so I gave it away, not without regret, 'cause I think the note worked nicely on me.

smells like Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. I had both and liked them. If Coco Mademoiselle is a white tweed jacket, Azzura is a cotton summer dress. more casual, a bit dry scent.

it' s been many years since i smelled this but i remember it had a powdery smell which i liked so much.Si Armani remindes me of it, probably because of the cassis note

Yes, this one definitely is a Mediterranean scent and it is really nice. It is spicy and fresh wth citric notes For me it ́s less floral.

more floral but soft and classic.

This is a delightful citrusy fruity floral-sour, bitter, only a touch sweet, and just slightly musky vanilla. I wanted to try it, because I liked what Coco Mademoiselle is aiming for, but I am allergic to it- Coco Mlle has the patchouli-white musk killer combo, and smells expensive without smelling friendly or unique for me-but it's still a hit for having some kind of sophisticated balance that is absent from many popular designer fragrances. Azzura seems to be allergen-free for me. Coco Mlle has a successful floral-citrus combination, but I'm not the only one who found it harsh on the nose and the nerves. Azzura is quite different from Coco Mademoiselle (which is a good thing), but it satisfies some of the desired traits for a balanced fragrance that Coco Mlle. might fulfill. I have to try Azzura a few more times, but for now, I can say the lily of the valley and the yuzu make a fond impression on my skin, and after experiencing the very tart opening, the fragrance unfolds and warms, and although it isn't quite linear on me, it doesn't change too much, which I quite like--for a change :) The remaining vanilla is nice, simple and not too synthetic. I think this would be great on a warm spring day, or on a breezy summer afternoon. Update: I thought I liked it, but it's really too modern sour-same overuse of yuzu as Eau Belle. What a shame.

It reminds of the Mediterranean? Yes, probably, but a few decades ago. It is somewhat old-fashioned to me. In fact, too retro... I purchased it without having it sniffed - I was just impressed by the conception telling a romantic story of a girl who found happiness in a small distant village. It sounded really nice, but the scent had nothing to do with such a description. However, the fragrance is warm, a bit sweet and pretty bitter. Having in mind the sharpness of the dominant notes and the relative heaviness of it all, I imagine aristocrat ladies 1 or 2 centuries ago having their afternoon tea in the garden or going for a walk along the park alleys.

I got this is a mini coffret collection with Oxygene Lanvin and Dalimania and a couple of others, and I don't like any of them so far. This opens very bitter on me-there really is no citrus or sweetness.I don't get fruit either, just a warm and bitter note that calms down to a spicy and peppery note that is ever so slightly sour. I think its vey masculine overall and I really didn't like it. It did leave a lovely shimmer on my skin though, not sure what that was. Maybe its better in warm weather (I tried it on a cold but sunny Autumn day). 5ml tester, barely used, if anyone wants a swap!

As a child, I bought a box of old incense on a flea market. This smells like it. Heavy, screechy and very powdery after an alcoholic blast of synthetic fruit. Very '80s/'90s in a clearly dated way. I keep wondering if my sample vial was old or something, it just smells off and distorted. Slightly middle-eastern, but I had hand-desinfectants in the region that smelled better than this. Much like blue eyeshadow, I wouldn't recommend anyone still wear this.
