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

(btw for some reason on fragrantica the most wanted edp intense is called the most wanted while the most wanted edt intense is called the most wanted intense) so i stole a couple of sprays of the parfum from my brother cause he has it and a friend said that day that the parfum smells like a dry grandpa whatever that means and the other day i stole a couple of sprays of the edp intense cause he also has that one and imo the edp intense has more depth and yeah say that they both have only 3 notes but the toffee is a kinda a complicated accord in perfumery which kinda means theres more materials in the edp intense i mean dont get me wrong the parfum is amazing just a bit simple imo with the ginger that disappears in a couple of minutes and then is whats left of is the vanilla and a tad bit of woodiness the edp intense is a sweet toffee with cardamom while still being very masculine and imo its the best gourmand when you dont want to smell too sweet or too childish or give a impression of trying hard to impress the girls like lets say you put on some very gourmand scent to school and imo that doesnt really work cause youre just annoying asf blasting althair or bianco latte but this is more masculine and definitely more appropriate for school in the winter time plus you dont even have to worry about longevity on this one and the price is just amazing overall i think that the parfum gets more hype just because its a parfum and not an edp

I only smelt this fragrance once, and that was a couple of days ago so don't rely on or criticize this rating. At first when I smelt it, it smelt extremely basic, literally like any other amber-sweet smelling fragrance. The opening was just basic, not bad, just very basic. It smelt like someone tried to make a dupe of every single amber cologne, and put it in one bottle. But after about 5-10 minutes it smelt completely different. It went from basic amber/sweet, to something I've never smelt before. It had some sort of sweet/spicy mixture that I can't describe, but after this I kept huffing my wrist lmao. Something about the wood and caramel just paired perfectly with the spices of this scent, and it went beautifully. I could tell this was a very mature cologne, nothing a young man (below 18) should wear. For me, it screamed sophisticated, yet rugged business man in his 30's. The sweet caramel and amber mixing with the spicy and heavy wood notes created a strong, head turning scent that I think was fantastic. Bottle design: 10/10 Scent: 10/10 Longevity: Didn't get to test longevity. Sillage: Strong, but not overpowering 8/10 Overall: 9/10, I wish I had more to give a more detailed review, but overall it was great.

This is an effortless grab—one of those fragrances you never have to overthink. It leans very sweet, but not in a way that crosses the line for me. I completely understand why someone might find it a bit much, yet it never feels overwhelming on my skin. The scent is dominated by a rich cardamom note, backed by smooth caramel undertones and a playful, almost bubblegum-like sweetness that adds a unique twist. I’d comfortably call this a mass-appealing fragrance. It shines in the cooler months—fall, winter, and crisp spring evenings—and naturally leans toward nighttime wear. That said, it works just as well during the day, especially on overcast or cooler days. It’s approachable, office-friendly, and the kind of scent that tends to draw compliments without trying too hard. While it may not be groundbreaking, it executes its style extremely well—nearly flawless for what it sets out to do. Performance is strong, and the price only adds to its appeal. Overall, I’d rate it a 9.5 out of 10.

Just picked this up from Ulta. It's so new - they didn't even have it on the shelves yet. Beautiful matte black bottle. Atomizer distribution is wide and covers a lot of skin/clothing. Let me preface by saying I was not a fan of Wanted By Night. Too much cinnamon and too spicy for me. But this one is AMAZING if you like sweet fragrances. It opens with some bubblegum sweetness and quickly transitions into a sexy toffee/amberwood combination. It kind of smells like a fresh (not burnt) caramel. Seriously, the drydown is intoxicating and delicious. I've never smelled anything like this in a designer fragrance. Youthful enough but mature at the same time. Fresh and a little dark. Three hours in and still getting big whiffs. No complaints on performance. When I came home after spraying it on, my wife took a deep exhale and asked if she could eat me. This is not a gourmand and I know it's going to pull massive amounts of compliments. My favorite 2021 designer release by far!

The opening presents a subtle soapy nuance, though not in a fresh or citrusy way, but rather in a warm manner that conveys a sense of refined cleanliness. This facet blends with a sweet spicy accord that quickly takes center stage. As it evolves, the fragrance transforms into a warm, enveloping sweet spicy profile, where a very subtle creamy vanilla emerges, accompanied by a toffee-like nuance, adding a modern gourmand character. In the drydown, it develops a drier and more mature facet, with woody and ambery notes that balance the initial sweetness, preventing it from becoming cloying and giving it a more masculine and seductive feel. It is a powerful and highly aromatic fragrance, combining a caramel-like sweetness—present yet well controlled—with a slightly salty and dry contrast provided by woods and amber, adding depth, character, and a sophisticated edge.

My signature..i freaking love this...there is some kind of freshness that i cant explain in the opening 😂..maybe someone can help me understand why haha..on the sweet side overall as a fragnance..in general i prefer fresh type..with cool-cold weather this really shines..sweet smells with high heat is a little bit "annoying" in a way and the heat does not let them truly shine i think..this and stronger with you absolutely are my "sweet" fragnances..they are top tier overall in my opinion..this for a more "playful" type of night or something and swy absolutely for more "mature" type of vibe..but both give the same vibe i think,difference is swy absolutely ia vanilla drydown and boozy cause of the rum in the opening..i love them both..maybe this a little more..anyway..this is fire !

Es un olor encantador, seductor y muy rico. Se parecen mucho este y el The Most Wanted Parfum, pero personalmente me encanta más el Intense debido a que es más juvenil y se adapta a más ambientes y ocasiones. La nota de cardamomo esta muy presente, haciendolo muy masculino, y la nota de toffe lo hace dulce y abrazador. La buena proyección es de dos horas, después es más un perfume que te invita a acercarte, por ello es muy recomendable para una cita. Lo que si es excelente es la estela, el que amguien camine detras de ti o que el aire te ayude a dejar aroma es dejar presencia. La duración es de 10 a 12 horas sin problema, y en ropa tienes que lavar la prenda si o sí para quitarle el aroma. Sin duda mi perfume favorito de Azzaro.

O cheiro é realmente fantástico: o acorde de toffee com cardamomo é viciante, doce na medida e muito sedutor. Porém, preciso ser honesto sobre a performance na minha pele, que foi bem diferente do “monstro” que muitos se relacionam no tiktok, acho que de fixação ele é um 7/10, quase 8/10, minha namorada e meus amigos acham que valeu totalmente o preço, mas eu não acho. Em mim, ele se comportou de forma bem intimista. A projeção foi muito discreta desde a primeira hora e a fixação deixou a desejar, sumindo após poucas horas. É uma pena, pois a fragrância é 10/10, sendo extremamente sensual, mas esperava muito mais potência por ser um 'Intense'. Recomendo testar na pele antes de dar cego, pois pode não consertar em todos.

Nose Note #1073 The most important thing that I wanted to clear out for myself was - is Ansaam Silver really that close? Yes, the two are practically the same. There is some difference, but I can't say what it is. The Most Wanted feels more bubblegummy in a way that Invictus is, which makes it feel richer and denser than Ansaam Silver, but if you don't compare them side by side you will hardly detect any difference. I can't say The Most Wanted performs better. I'd say if you have a choice - buy Azzaro, but it's more than twice as expensive as Ansaam Silver. First I didn't like the DNA much, but spending a year with Ansaam Silver I really started to love it. Now to the Wanted and Wanted Parfum reviews... 8.5/10

Nose note #16: This was a surprise to my nose. Then I saw toffee in the notes, I couldnt get off my mind the idea of this being similar to swy intensively, which I personally consider to be much juvenile to my taste, but I couldnt be more wrong. This is sweet, but not in a gourmand way, but in a fruity aromatic style. It lasts very long, and it radiates a lot, and just like the Scandal perfumes, I would wear it to the parties. This perfume goes unnoticed because of his older brother, tmw parfum, which is the gourmand flanker, but this is really good and mandatory in every man under 30s collection. Don't feel like it's overhyped, but definitely a common scent nowdays. Price: 42€, 50 mL Rate: 8.5/10

I can say that sweetness is what really stands out in the opening, this fragrance has a noticeable projection for at least 2 hours. I tend to apply 6 to 7 sprays, and that'll be enough to last 7 to 8 hours. After 2 hours of applying it, the amberwood note comes to light because you can recognize very clearly this woody scent which is the note that is most prominent most of the time mixed with the sweetness of the opening. If you like elegant, sweet, even sophisticated perfumes, I highly recommend this one. You can wear it on romantic dates or to formal events during winter or autumn (I think those are the seasons that suits this fragrance best). My overall rating for this fragrance IMO 9.5 / 10

This is one of the sexiest fragrances you can buy without stumbling into the big rabbit hole of fragrances. It is around $120 retail for a 100ml, and you can find it any day for $70 on discounters. I used to own a bottle, however sold it to fund my niche addiction (fully niche collection soon) Starts off with this blast of warmth, spice and a little sharp, beautiful opening. In the middle, you start getting the toffee sweetness, rich, warm and edible. As it fades, it turns into this amazing woody and amber-y base. Really nice, however I honestly find it a bit basic. Lasts around 8 hours with amazing projection in the first 1-3 hours, than it fades. This scent brings back memories. 7.4/10

First impressions: smells WAY different than i thought. I dont get any toffee.. this is pure cardamom and amberwood. This is not sweet at all, this is very striking, bold and fresh. To me this really reminds me of lynked freedom by Afnan. Maybe it needs time to mature to bring the toffee out. So far I like it but i am kind of hoping that toffee will come out in due time Edit: just also wanna say that this bottle is the cheapest plastic junk i have in my entire collection, and the atomizer is pretty ass also. not gonna lie thats kind of sad, lame and embrassing that a 25 dollar rasasi has way better quality than this. Spend 1 dollar and do better Azzaro....., greedy scum.

Im gonna be straight. This fragrance is overhyped but that doesnt mean it smells bad, if anything, it smells amazing. Once you smell it, expect it to smell differently that what people describe. There is an addictive toffee note that works really well with the cardamom, although the opening smells good for 10 seconds, it quickly becomes unpleasant for the next 5 minutes, after that it dries down and everything works well together. If you have stronger with you intensely, i recommend buying this, last thing, if you want an idea on how it smells like, think of spice bomb extreme. They dont smell the same at all, but once you smell both you will get what i mean.

First of all i love how this perfume smells, its one of my top 5 fav smelling perfumes of all time, the only problem i have and idk if it has to do with the batch or bottle size because i bought a 50ml bottle of azzaro TMW EDP intense but for somehow i feel like mine doesnt project alot or has a strong scent, like i would spray it 10 times on my neck and wrists and i can hardly smell it after 2 hours, i have to shove my nose into my wrist just to smell it, im kinda dissapointed in the performance because its a very good smelling perfume but i dont know why mine has a weak projection and longevity. I wanna know if anyone experiences the same as me.
