The Most Wanted Intense

This new offering from Azzaro is an instant 10/10 for me. I work in fragrance, and we just got the juice in a couple of days ago, and I made a tester out of one of the flasks. I instantly fell for the citrusy, mossy fougère that graced my nostrils. I gathered together a sampling of my female coworkers, aged 20-27, and let them smell it on my skin. 100 percent of them flipped over the fragrance, delivering praise and adoration such as, “OMG that smells amazing...” “I LOVE that - it smells SO good...” “Yep, that’s really, really nice...” and so forth. I bought a bottle that same day and took the fragrance out for a test drive tonight at a small night club dancing to some live EDM House music. So many of the girls there went crazy over the fragrance on my skin. I got compliments such as, “How on earth do you smell so good?” “That smells amazing on you - what is it?” “God, you smell fantastic!” and the like. Needless to say, this fragrance is a winner for me, and I’m glad I bought some. The mossy and woody drydown notes really add a gentlemanly and cool aspect to the citrus and pull it all together for a smooth, masculine finish on me. If one is looking for a really nice smelling fougère composition that will draw lots of female attention, I suggest adding this to the wardrobe, and enjoy it. Well done, Azzaro. This is a great smelling all around fragrance for me. I can wear this all year, as it has a great balance of notes that would accent the different seasons very well. I love this as a Spring scent, going into Summer, though, because it’s light and chic enough to blend in with the freshness and vitality of this time of year. This would be great for a home cooked dinner and movie night with lots of closeness. She will adore this.

Lovely, clean, sweet, airy, soft lavender, inoffensive, whenever wherever. Haven't done a full wear yet so I can't say anything about longevity but I suspect it's gonna be above average. Lovely bubble. If you hate this, I have to ask who hurt you? The image for the liquor note is deceptive, this is not boozy, it's just fresh sweet. I find it the most similar to Prada Paradigme, don't really get the MYSLF comparison except that they're both fresh and sweet. There's really no super noticeable orange blossom. So if you think Paradigme is overpriced for what it is this is a better choice. Not much more to say, it's masterclass in mass-appealing designer, works dressed up and dressed down. Perfect gift material. Edit: Ok so I've tested it out today and the longevity right now is decent. But by no means is this a beast. The note that lingers the longest is the oakmoss and it lasts a decent time but it does not project very much beyond that first 1.5 hours. It's a skin scent after that. I will vote moderate for longevity but in the upper range, so around 5-6 hours before it becomes a faded scent. Who knows maybe my bottle will go through some maturation magic in the coming months? It's been sitting in freezing temperatures so that might be affecting it.

There is much more happening here than the simple note breakdown suggests. I get why people compare it to MYSLF, but to be honest, the bubblegum vibe here is closer to the Parfum flanker — less synthetic, less sweet, and more aromatic. If I had to compare it to anything in the line, it would be Wanted By Night, but for the daytime. It’s completely different from the rest of the flankers and finally brings something new to the DNA. It’s also much more beautiful than the generic blues out there, like Ralph’s Club EDT. It’s not a fresh scent for hot summer days, but it’s definitely more versatile and works in pretty much any weather. The only downside: it was discontinued and is already getting harder to find. But I still see full bottles at discounters for around $50. So honestly, run to sample it — or just blind buy it if you find it at an affordable price.

The Most Wanted (Eros/BIRI) EdT Intense The fragrance starts with a similar vibe to Versace Eros. Then it transitions into a delicious mix of lavender and moss. In the dry-down I get similar scent to Valentino Born In Roma Intense. BIRI has vetiver in its base and this moss. They both have that dry woody base with those notes. I like this much more than Eros. Eros has always reminded me like a soap. But a premium quality soap nonetheless. I usually dont compare fragrances to other fragrances but this definitely has these similarities to my nose. Still would recommend this fragrance more than Eros. Performance-wise this has a solid projection and sillage for about 2h then it transitions to a more intimate skin scent. Still have to hype that mossy base. Reminiscent to vetiver in the Born In Roma Intense with those sweet notes. 8/10

Let me start off by saying this most wanted edt intense iteration is not ground breaking but it’s really nice! The bergamot in the opening quickly fades away and the lavender shines which gives off a floral powdery scent then within 5-10 minutes develops into a boozy woodiness .Upon first spray I got the typical sweet wanted dna and it hangs around in the background ever so slightly through the dry down. Overall, this latest flanker of the most wanted line is a pleasant surprise. It’s most definitely unique and doesn’t smell anything like any of the other flankers. It can safely be worn every season except winter also indoors appropriate and it would be perfect for most occasions. It’s definitely worth the $76 for the 1.7oz with the 15% off from Macys!
