Wanted Girl

Hmm. I expected to hate it. But I actually really like it! I added a $2 sample of this to my cart to get free shipping on another purchase. I kind of expected this to be a 30 minute tween scent something between an Ariana Grande perfume and My Way/Valentino smelling. Not at all what I expected. It isn’t the most original composition but has a very nice sweet general mass-pleasing sense to it. I was thinking, “wait, do I want a FB of this???” Then I looked up the notes and the perfumers and of course it’s a winner. Ropion designed one of my all time top 3 favs, Carnal Flower. This is a sweet gourmand carmel-like floral that reads to me a bit like jasmine. Something occasionally smells a bit like Alien to me. If you told me this was an Alien flanker (clarins era) I’d believe you. If you hate jasmine notes I’d recommend sampling first. Even though jasmine isn’t listed, the “datura” note I suppose has a similar white floral smell to “Alien” jasmine. I see this is rated similar to Alien Fusion, which I wore until it ran out and was discontinued. Yes, they’re similar, but not identical. Fusion smelled and behaved like a true Alien flanker. This smells better. Less like Alien, more amplifying the gourmand notes I wish weren’t so subtle in Fusion. This smells less synthetic and airy than Fusion as well. Though different, I would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a replacement now that Fusion was discontinued. Patchouli is not distinguishable to my nose and I get no funky stank from it. Base notes blend nicely to make an intoxicating rich sweet spicy heart of the scent. Very mass pleasing blend, blind buy safe/safe gift option unless the recipient hates white florals and/or spice/pepper. I don’t need a FB. I already own too many scents including some that remind me of this. But I do like it, and if I was gifted a bottle I wouldn’t resell it. Who am I kidding... I’m most likely going to buy a bottle to replace Fusion in my collection. Surprisingly a winner! Side note-I never watch YouTube/TikTok fragrance review videos, as I find nothing to gain from listening to a fame thirsty wannabe describe a scent in whatever empty words will entice people to like&subscribe, so I know nothing of the cult of personality viral hoards or what their opinions are on this scent. Buy and wear what makes you happy, not something sold to you by a talking head on a screen ✌️

The lovely Azzaro duo formed by Wanted Girl and Wanted for Men had all the trademarks of a sellout pair, but they work out SO well. Wanted Girl is not the typical sweet scent you'd expect, with almost no lactonic notes (that I perceive, anyway). The opening is not very ginger forward, but you can clearly smell the orange flower with the pink pepper and a hint of pomegranate, the latter being rather short lived. The dulce de leche is rather prominent, you can feel this for the entire duration of the wear, but it's not sickly! As soon as you feel the caramel note you get a tempering slightly bitter note, which might be the datura flower, or at least the idea of one. The base brings an ever-so-slight smokiness from the tonka, with a bit of a bite from the patchouli and vetiver. If you tend to stay away from patchouli, you might like this, the vetiver and tonka keep it rather grounded. I find the composition beautiful, balanced from that slightly bitter note, with an amazing depth from that vetiver in the base. It's not at all juvenile, but not really grown-up at the same time. In terms of performance, this will get you through the day, but I would not use it in warm weather since it would be way too much. It's made to be a crowd pleaser, but I would recommend testing first (might be too much for some). I've seen it compared to Poison Girl and Girl of Now, personally I smell it closer a bit to Black Opium.

Ah this is gorgeous! I can’t get enough of it. This was part of a bunch of samples I got and I put off sampling it for a while because I thought it was just going to be another ‘cloyingly sweet’ gourmand but my word, this is lovely! It starts of a little sharp and sweet but within a few minutes, it morphs into a warm, sweet, creamy floral...and this is the best part, the middle notes, I think...ah! I can’t stop sniffing my wrist, I’m getting carried away😂 I would say it is fairly unique for what it is bc I haven’t smelled anything exactly like this in recent years. But of course, it does borrow from some popular elements for it’s dry down. Something about this reminds me of a teacher back in primary school. I can’t describe what I’m smelling unfortunately but I find it comforting; maybe something similar was worn by a really nice teacher...or was it my mom?! Wait I think it was my mom😂 Anyway, all I’m saying is that this is definitely worth a try. It’s an everyday, no-brainer kind of scent; I can wear this and gift it to my mom as well so it’s not juvenile at all. It’s not too heavy and has a decent sillage. This makes me very happy; this gourmand, I love.

I read so many comments that this is a generic fragrance but, as I see, people cannot agree what does this fragrance reminds them of. And that is because this is not so generic. For me, this is the perfect summer gourmand. Dang, i love smelling like this in summer. Unfortunately, though i can feel it throughout the whole 8 hours at work, the sillage is so so poor. The others cannot enjoy the magic potion it is. Only you, as a wearer, are the lucky chosen to enjoy it's marvel. This is my 1st gourmand i loved and now, the 3rd year after it was crafted, I still love it like in the 1st day. Such a perfect frag for a morning coffee on a sunny beach..if the sun above the beach in the morning had a smell, this would be it. Too lovely for me. Too delicious. Such a pity for the low projection. The others should have the right to smell it, too but such a luck that the one who wears it can enjoy it the whole day...

Got this for my girlfriend for her birthday because it smelled the most original and I liked it the most out of the other fragrances at the Macy's counter. Not terribly expensive, and for the price I got a full bottle, a travel spray, and 2 extra vials all in a collector's tin, plus a free Azzaro handbag. For a fragrance this nice, and all those extras, less than 100$ was a steal. This fragrance is a bomb of caramel and tonka gourmand aromas that fill a room when you spray it. It's gorgeous, and though it's sweet, you can do 4 sprays without it being cloying to others despite it's rather large sillage. She also loved the bottle, and the fact that you can use the atomizer sprayer or the trigger to use it. Looks great on her dresser. Overall, a classy, well-priced sexy gourmand that lasts forever, has great sillage, and comes in a beautiful bottle to top it all off.

I went to buy a new perfume, and Poison Girl, this one and Black Opium were on my list...this one was on sale, so it won :). I sampled it a couple years ago and couldn't stop thinking about it - I can't tell you what it reminds me of but it definitely has lovely gourmand notes and is a very feminine pretty scent. As I was leaving the store, I also sampled the Wanted Girl by Night, which smells nothing like it in my opinion, but is also very pretty...simpler and a definite grape juice smell but also quite addictive and soft...maybe it's the rum or whipped cream notes...either way, I love them both. Not my favorite, but it's up there; Mon Guerlain, Good Girl and La Vie Est Belle Intensement all rate slightly higher but I'd put it on par with La Nuit Tresor and Hypnotique Poison; beautiful smell.

1 - This is a unisex fragrance. Leans more masculine IMO. A man in his late 20's+ will pull this off with ease. 2 - Outstanding performance! Pushes past the 8 hour mark effortlessly on skin. 24+ hours on fabric. 3 - Very high quality. The caramel note is very prominent. Chewy sticky gourmand delicious. 4 - Can be cloying if over-sprayed. 5 - Price is great. If Dior or Chanel made this, the whole world would be drooling at this all wide-eyed and unapologetically pay double+ the price. My favourite of the entire wanted line. Bottle design can be considered a freshman in the school of weird. But all in all, sheer excellence. Ladies, take my advice and let the huzzy / bf wear this and you will fall in love with him all over again.

This smells similar to jpg classique pin up without the mentholated note and it's a tad sweeter. The opening is so scrumptious! This is one of the scents where I wish it stayed as great as the opening cuz the dry down turns into pure play doh! Very strong powdered play doh. And scents don't usually turn to play doh on me. Btw one of my faves is poison girl and it is NOTHING like poison girl at all! Then again, I haven't smelled this in cooler weather yet either. I Love this until like 30 minutes when it turns 😔. So I'll have to try it this fall and winter, if it changes I'll update. Until then I can only wear this at home I can't risk going out in public smelling like play doh. Too bad cuz the opening is so promising.

My first perfume. I've had this bottle for so long. It ages very well, and the smell is exquisite. It's a masterpiece, exactly like how its described by the official text "The fragrance represents an imaginary flower ("3D flower that’s exactly like her: explosive, alluring, and delectable...but never too sweet!")." It smells classy, but not in your face. Unlike other popular designer perfumes, its advantage is in it's gentleness, rather than a bossy or dominating smell. You can smell it on yourself, but it's not a crazy sillage/projection. It is sweet, delicate, comforting, feminine, literally perfect for any season and time. It isn't overly floral or woody or sweet. Lasts all day.

I bought this in 2019 when it was released. Love at 1st sniff. I'm saddened by the harsh reviews and perceptions people have on this beauty. So effervescent and uplifting. Everyone around me loves it, i love it. I'm mostly into niche and discover and rotate perfumes all the time but rediscovering this it's bliss. I also got the body lotion that smells heavenly. Unfortunately still doesn't make the smell more potent but even so i'm enjoying my heavenly small bubble while it's present I still adore it after all these years (even if skipped using it for an year or 2) and still giving me the same excitement, joyful and youthfull feeling Still in love with it

Gorgeous, sexy, and cozy all at once. Tried this at Macy’s and it was love at first spritz! Not the best longevity on me, but it is such a beautiful cloud of scent and I absolutely love how fluffy and sweet it is, with a touch of spiciness from the ginger too. It reminds me a little of Armani Code Cashmere, Alien, JPG Classique Intense, etc. If you like those types of perfumes, you will love this! The dry down is especially delightful. It has a warm vanilla/toffee sweetness. Edited: love this so much I had to buy a bottle. I found out the 1 oz bottle has a removable cap, but the bigger-sized bottles do not, they have a cool trigger mechanism instead.

This smells soooo much better in cold winter weather! 22 degrees F outside and this fragrance is in all her glory ❤️ now she's perfectly sweet n spicy n creamy... Delectable! Now I don't want to wear anything else all winter, and no it's nothing like poison girl which is another one of my favorites. That one is sweet and rosy with some anise like scent and this does not have any of that. The ginger is blended so well with this! It adds to the pepper in a way that perfectly spices the sweetness of the caramel and orange blossom, the pomegranate gives it that juicy red twist that kisses it just right...Perfect in every way!

This starts off with strong hints of orange and white florals. It seemingly smells like a blend of generic and indistinguishable department store floral perfumes until the dulce de leche note settles in. I tend to dislike white florals for its heady, headache-inducing scent but Wanted Girl is an exception. This fragrance is not overwhelmingly sweet, nor do the floral notes overpower the other notes — it's the perfect balance between the two. This is what I imagine the nice, popular girl in any early 2000's movie would wear. It's earned a spot on one of my favorite fragrances of all time.

I purchased this on a blind buy. When I got it, I immediately fell in love with it. Then I kept thinking, "I have this already". As the day wore on, I knew it was familiar, but I just could place the similar fragrance (that's probably a sign that I have too many perfumes already). Then it came to mind - this reminds me of Black Opium Nuit Blanche. Actually it's more like the baby sister, a bit lighter and not as bold, but very similar. No other reviews found this similarity, but on me, Wanted Girl is the daytime version and BO Nuit Blanche is the more sultry, nighttime version.

This is the one that re-kindled my love of fragrance. I had been off of perfumes for years, then I got a sample of this and had to have it. And now here we are. Personally, I don't find this overly sweet or gourmand. What I get out of this is a warm, mildly spicy, mellow white floral, with a smooth, semi-sweet undercurrent. It makes me feel cozy and I get a bit of a dopey grin every time I catch a whiff of it. I love the bottle. Contrary to many reviews, I find this neither generic nor at all similar to La Nuit Trésor, which I'm not a huge fan of, but our noses are all unique.

I got a sample vial of this with some other purchases and it sat for a couple weeks because it wasn't really on my radar as a must-try. Today I reached for it and omg, my eyebrows raised and I kept bringing my wrist up to sniff. It's gorgeous! It starts ultra-sweet and gourmand. A few minutes in, the florals take over, but still very sweet, more so I think from the tonka at that point. This immediately went on my wish list to buy a full bottle. Wow, is it ever stunning! This is a date night and done type of perfume. Update: Yep, I bought the 80ml. Gosh, I love this stuff!

I see so many critical comments, yoytubers never speak about it, however, for me, it was love at first sniff ever since it appeared in 2019. I havent't used it much last coupe of years however, this summer I remembered it and use it with utmost pleasure each time. It's sticky sweet, however it has something also a bit fresh to counterbalance the sweetness, probably the ginver which I love in perfumes. Plus, the hotter the weather the more I love wearing it. Still a big love for me although I have discovered hundreds of other fragrances.

I agree at first it smells like generic 2000s sweet perfumes but then the ginger, vetiver comes through, and then you are left with a fresh smelling dulce de leche that leaves you smelling your wrist all day. I tend to become nose blind to this fragrance after the first hour but I get compliments throughout the day. If you liked Alien Fusion but it was too in your face. This would be a sweeter version to try IMO. Easily can be worn all seasons, day or night. With this versatility, it definitely has a place in my top 10.

I'm in love with this fragance! It has a totally attractive balance between sweet, gourmand and fresh. At first, that citric note is mixed with a spicy note of ginger or pink pepper, it is noticeable, but it quickly sweetens with a soft caramel note wrapped in an orange blossom. Then a mysterious aroma that causes a certain addiction accompanied by a perceptible but delicate patchouli. .. Just amazing ...It was a blind buy that I totally liked, a timeless and well-crafted aroma, feminine and delicious! 8.5 / 10

I tried this on recently and it reminds me of Givenchy's l'interdit. Maybe it could have to due with the heat, but this was STRONG. Very sweet and couldn't smell the floral notes at all. Might try it again in the winter to see if the fragrance changes. Edit: I love this! This is the perfect combination of floral and gourmand and smells delicious. Perfect for the colder weather and is less cloying. Lasting power is great when sprayed on clothing, lasted me well into the next day.
