The Most Wanted

For the Culture Given how mercurial the fragrance community tends to be, this fragrance will likely be lambasted for its redundancy both within its line, and within the market abroad. After all, this is a flanker of a fragrance which borrowed inspiration heavily from its contemporaries and does not deviate much from its sibling fragrances. That notwithstanding, The Most Wanted is actually quite nice, and along with Wanted By Night, competes directly in the same realm as The One EDP, Stronger With You ( et al.), the constantly reiterated installments of the Armani Code lineage, as well as the remaining plethora of preeminent date night, designer releases (e.g: One Million Prive, La Nuit De L’Homme). And, to be fair to the oft cynical majority: this particular genre is jam-packed with terrific offerings — none of which have done anything at all to revivify the interests of the well-initiated turned resentful elitists. Unlike Wanted By Night, which utilizes a strong, sweet cinnamon in conjunction with mandarin orange, tobacco, and lemon to create a very marmalade-like fragrance fortified by a salubrious dose of Iso E Super, The Most Wanted is less loud. Cardamom replaces the cinnamon, and there also seems to be a further rearrangement of notes. To my nose, there is still Iso E Super, and the Amberwood is not the only note providing the quite sturdy base. If I had to speculate, it would seem at least several different aroma chemicals were used in varying amounts, and bound with the Iso E Super and Vanillin to structure the olfactive impression that is echoed in Wanted By Night. The similarities between The Most Wanted and Wanted By Night are overtly apparent to anyone with a functional nose. Which, to some extent, explains the similarities to Invictus’s most recent addition, Invictus: Victory. In fact, the original Wanted is as similar to the original Invictus as The Most Wanted is similar to Invictus: Victory when they’ve both dried down. Seriously, on paper, they’re approximately 75%-85% similar. Despite all of this, I find The Most Wanted to be just as good as Wanted By Night — and more versatile. If I had to choose between the two and could only have one, my personal pick would be The Most Wanted. It is not as loud, but nearly as sweet, and inviting and has comparable longevity. Moreover, it isn’t as volatile in the heat. Whereas if you were to wear Wanted By Night on a summer’s evening you could asphyxiate someone with the cinnamon, with The Most Wanted, that won’t be the case. That’s not to give you the impression The Most Wanted is wildly more refined — because it isn’t. It’s only the fact some of the more overwhelmingly saccharine notes have either been removed or adjusted so as not to be as intrusive early in the fragrance’s lifespan. The most pressing issue with the fragrance will be whether or not the coterie of YouTube FragComm mainstays grant The Most Wanted their seal of approval. If they do, this fragrance will be on every date night, and fall/winter top ten list for the next year. If not, it will be lambasted, and fall into obscurity until it is discontinued — at which point, it will see the customary resurgence of relevance before it vanishes. Then, Armaf and DUA will offer their renditions, because that’s what they do. If you enjoyed Wanted by Night, but maybe found it excessive, sample The Most Wanted. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I gave Wanted by Night a 8.5/10. I believe The Most Wanted is marginally better. Let’s go with a 8.75/10. Also, this is unisex, despite leaning masculine. So ladies, if you’re looking for a gender-bender, give it a whirl. As always: stay safe, and stay radiant. See you around. Very Sincerely & Respectfully Yours, Nobody.Really

last time i reviewed this was 11 months ago and all i wrote was "i want to drink this", so i feel like this deserves a better and more detailed review, especially as my nose and tastes have evolved starting with the presentation, i love the overall theme of wanted overall and the revolver cylinder design along with the black on black color scheme was honestly one of the main things that got me to buy this, atomizer is honestly pretty mid but the cap clicks on with a satisfying click, at discounters it's typically between 70-90$ so decent presentation for its cost (?) starts off with a fresh, sweet spice from the cardamom and the toffee, the opening is honestly surprisingly fresh for what it is and it kinda feels like theres a fresh ginger type of smell, though not often mentioned in other reviews or listed notes. it maintains the sweet-spicy feel throughout most of its lifetime and the sweetness is primarily more toffee-like. i wouldn't fully describe this as a gourmand, as it doesnt feel like it was meant to be a gourmand, but as i mentioned in my original 'review', if it tasted like how it smelled i wouldnt have minded drinking it. it smells really pleasant in the air and women tend to LOVE it. reminds me a bit of swy intensely with a similar sweet and spicy feel, but instead of the cinnamon-vanilla combo its cardamom-toffee and it's slightly more fresher. the base note of amber provides warmth and it feels like it fills out the space left by the sharpness of the cardamom and toffee. for some reason, when i first got this over a year ago, to my nose it felt almost chocolate like? it was still very sweet but for some reason i remember not picking up on the cardamom a whole lot and it felt more sweet and dark, less spicy and fresh than it actually was. in terms of performance, supposedly it's supposed to project strongly and last long, but on my skin i get fair projection for 4-5 hours or so and it becomes a skin scent for the next 3-5 hours. however, on clothing it lasts forever; it lasts for days on clothing like hoodies. overall it does feel a bit juvenile, ive heard this described as a 'loud, clubbing scent' by a variety of content creators which i can understand why it's described so. id wear this to parties or informal gatherings, but during cooler weather ive dailyed this without problem. smelt this at the gym a few times and honestly a bit too cloying to be worn as a gym scent scent 9/10 performance 7/10 price 7/10 at discounters 8.5/10 overall, would be good as a first fall/winter frag

This is a straight beast of a fragrance. My co-workers love it. I received two unsolicited compliments. So you can't tell me shit, for the rest of the day. I'M HYPED SON! I need to calm down...as a guy, we don't get'em that often, if ever. So I'm gonna remember it. There are only three notes in The Most Wanted; Amber wood, toffee & cardamom. I definitely smell the Amber wood throughout, but on my skin...the other two notes fuse into a granny smith apple scent. Which I like,👍 .... And thats it. It's simple and lovely 😍. Must have for gourmand lovers. Reminds me of a warm apple pie. Will be getting a backup bottle. I used six sprays...both wrist, back & front of my neck, chest, and front of my shirt. Will I buy this again? YES! What's the strength of this? EDP. Does this fragrance enter BEAST MODE, good, just okay or weak sauce at best? BREAST MODE! It's meant for the winter, and I'm wearing it during the summer. Can you use it as a unisex scent? No... Am I willing to trade this fragrance? No. Should You Skip It, Sample It First or Blind Buy It? Blind Buy worthy if you like Wanted by night & gourmands. For everyone else, Sample it first. Very similar to these fragrances; Azzaro Wanted By Night & Stronger with you. Is it the old, new formulation? New. What's its availability; in production, limited edition run or discontinued? In production, may be a limited run. 🤔 SKU Number: 3614273521307 Batch Number: 91U2003 Production Date: 2021 Age: 21 & up From: Macy's Size: 100ML Scent: 5/5 (Smells AMAZING!). Value: 2/5 (I PAID FULL PRICE, HEARD IT WAS A limited run & didn't want to chance it with waiting for it to hit discount sites, and it's no longer in production). Sillage: 5/5 (Great, I tried this out during the summer, this is meant for the dead of winter). Longevity: 5/5 (Beast!). Creativity: 5/5 (Only three notes, but it smells awesome). Projection: 5/5 (easy two hours) Versatility: 5/5 (Anytime and anywhere). Compliments: 5/5 (Lovely). Hope this helps someone. And until next time, I'll catch you on the flipside.

Oh, wow... Such a seductive sour cardamom with a warm woody and caramel undertone. Not spicy, yet it has some heat of pepper that you have to catch. And once you get it, you can’t stop smelling it to bring back the same feeling. At the same time, it’s not cloyingly sweet, as it has some fresh accords. Surprisingly, but I find it good even for warmer summer nights For me, cardamom is a date note, so there’s no other imagination than a dark underground restaurant with warm, dimmed light and an intimate atmosphere with quiet, yet noticeable minimal techno that provokes lust and love. While I was writing this review and was surrounded by the smell of the fragrance, my mind painted such a vivid picture that I could actually feel the bass, the atmosphere, and the emotions myself. I almost believed it was all real, but unfortunately, I’d just been tricked yet again. And I liked it... The bottle is pleasantly heavy, with a nice texture and an overall feeling. It gave me similar, yet a little bit less vibrant emotions than Valentino’s bottles. And the price tag: it’s one of the most affordable fragrances for dates across all of the designers. In a modern, overpriced world, it’s genuinely a miracle to see a well-priced anything, especially fragrance. Absolutely justified and well-deserved price for such a great composition Simple, linear, yet absolutely perfect. It reminds me of some angles of LNDL DNA, when it shines with sour and juicy bergamot. For me, LNDL is a holy grail, so that’s the highest praise that any warm date/night fragrance can get from me. I’m in love with the most wanted, yet very disappointed that it’s so popular among younger folks and has got a tarnished public image. For teenagers, I recommend 1 liter of Versace Eros and use it for any occasion instead of this. Matured folks might want to get Dior Homme Intense or don’t get any fragrance at all as you already had enough of dates. For other young gentlemen, that’s it - a new king of dates

Got this cologne as a gift, and so far have been experiencing both pros and cons. Firstly, the scent is majestic and is certainly modern and liked by teenage girls meaning you may not get compliments, but most certainly gain some attention. As per previous reviews by content creators and reviewers on fragrantica I had high expectations regarding the performance and sillage of this fragrance. However, as after I get out of my cold shower and put it on right before going to school, the first 2 hours the projection is nice, however the scent then fades rapidly on my skin. I know a lot about nose blindness and firstly I thought it was that until I asked my friends and they actually said that the sillage was quite weak and they had to come close to me to be able to have a smell of it. Usually I get about 6 hours of projection which is kind of disappointing. I do 3 sprays, 2 on my neck and one on my back for the scent trail. Possibly the reason for bad projection is because after my shower my skin doesn't have the natural oils therefore it doesn't last so long. I recommend applying a handful of Vaseline protective or petroleum jelly before putting on Azzaro TMW EDP intense and don't overspray. Even though having mostly male oriented votes for gender, I find it a bit feminine, but only in the opening and off the bottle, and 1-2 hours after spraying all the feminine signs go away and it's purely masculine. Overall it's a great everyday wear for me and I will continue to use it and recommend buying if you are into sweet fragrances. 9/10
