Pure Lavender

A soft, sweet masculine floral done in typically wonderful Azzaro style. I picked this up quite cheap at marshalls for 12.99 for 2.5 oz EDT to complete the Man Collection from Azzaro Paris(PUR Cedrat, Vetiver & Lavender). I had this 5 years ago, but gave it to a friend's husband because she loved lavender (and I was seized with temporary insanity; this is when I also gave away BY Man)and I thought YR PDdLavender would be enough lavender for me (how silly was I??)... This is not your typical fougere, it starts off very floral with strong lavender and soft iris blooms accented by a hint of carnation. It is very warm due to the prescence of anise AND cloves but this is cooled down some and not too powdery due to a refreshing touch of juniper. Stunning! As it continues it leaves the intensity of the greens and spices behind (but not forgotten) as it concentrates on the lavender and orris (iris root) combination. These are two very sexy masculine florals and Loris Azzaro has framed them perfectly with other notes to bring out the luxury and depth of their scent. The drydown continues in a sweet vein with tonka, amber (resiny), vanilla (delicious) and musk, not 'too much' or cloying but definitely sweet! Test this one before you buy it. I often straddle the gender line and this may be too much for some guys (see Arkangel's 2nd review) and some women may find this enchanting. Sillage: very good Longevity: excellent Overall: 4.25/5 The Man Collection by Azzaro is a group of three scents built around three of the most common mens fragrance notes: cedrat-citrus, vetiver-tropical green soapy grass and lavender-woody green floral. Each one of these is a delight and it's worth collecting them all...

This is just wounderful , i get very refind lavender which dominate this scent all its life , i dont know how those one cant feel the lavender , may be alfocatory systems differs . Any way if you have used Pour Un Homme De Caron you will definetely get the beauty of the lavender here in Azzaro and you will find it much delicate than in Caron . The sof Iris , carnation & star Anise make this scent very warm ,however i didnt get the tonka,but the vanila in drydown is very subtle which make the scent cooled down a little bit without making it powdery . Generally this perfume is very well crafted which make a hell of fougere in my opinion and highly rated fragrance with moderate sillage and longvety.

Powdery lavender. I absolutely love this scent. I will admit the first 15min will have you wondering if it's good. After 15min, this stuff blossoms. I get the vanilla/Tonka, musky, and LAVENDER. So good. I wonder if the lady below is still with the man she fell in love with, wearing this scent?....

This is my boyfriend's favorite scent. When I first smelled Azzaro pure lavender on his body, my scumbag brain has made a command: "You must have this man!". It's been nearly one year and now we're just deeply in love with each other :X

If Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin was heavily focused on Lavender, it would be this.
