Bronze Goddess Azur

This is an interesting one, and definitely a sharp departure from the other Bronze Goddess scents. Don't blind buy this based on other BGs you have smelled! I initially disliked this in the bottle. I first smelled it on a cool, rainy day (thanks British summer) and found it sharp and unpleasant. It was slightly better on my skin but still just kind of "meh". The citrus had an unpleasant bite, almost like a cleaning product. However I kept coming back to it (such a pretty bottle!!). But DAMN! this fragrance in the summer!! Wearing this on a warm (30C) day, its so much nicer. Its much better rounded and really develops nicely. On my skin, I mostly get the neroli, bergamot and marine/salty notes; the other citrus and coconut are there but more subtle. (Although that sharpness is still present in the opening--luckily on me this only lasts a couple minutes.) Its very, very summery, and was made for warm weather. This will be a vacation scent, as its rarely warm enough in the UK to wear it! Or I'll just have to turn my heating way up and pretend I'm on vacation while wearing this. Longevity is very poor on me, lasts about 2 hours. Projection is also weak; it sits very, very close to my skin. However its such a nice smell (and I was able to pick this up cheap) that I will keep it and douse myself in it liberally.

A new favorite for the summer. There's a good reason why there are so many Tom Ford fragrances listed in the Reminds Me Of section. It's that good! I'm sure that his influence and a similar fragrance he created for Estee Lauder must have had some influence, though he was long gone by the time this came out. I love neroli in the spring and summer, and appreciate that the coconut doesn't overwhelm everything else. It just adds a slight creaminess along with the smell hovering in the background. I can also detect the fig note, which is very luscious. It adds "something" to the composition - I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it would completely alter the scent if it was absent, even though it's certainly not a dominant note. I think it's a very sophisticated summer scent, and I like it much more than the Eau Fraiche Skinscent, which is very good. But this is a love, and when I use a perfume primer, I get about 5 hours longevity with moderate sillage. Given my husband's sensitive nose, I'm sure he would say more than moderate! As much as I love many of TF's summer perfumes, purchasing this instead of, say, Neroli Portofino is not a compromise at all. It's just that good!

I was so excited when I heard this was coming out. I bought it not long after it was released, there was maybe 1 YouTube video review at this point. So it may as well have been a blind buy for me. I have never smelled TF Neroli Portofino, but others have likened this to it. And for a fraction of the price. If you think this is anything like the original BG it is not. It is all citrus to my nose. I see coconut listed in the notes but I don't detect any. Instead it is an extremely fresh scent which has no sweetness. Smelling it from the bottle does it no favours. You need to wear this on your skin in the high heat for this to do its thing. Moderate sillage - i can still get wafts of this throughout the day and others can smell it in a closer proximity, but it doesn't really project. For an EDT I think this is good. Close your eyes and you may think you were on the Amalfi Coast 🍋

Bronze Goddess Azur smells just like the color of the bottle. It's the most refreshing tropical scent I own. In the opening, I get fig, salt, and neroli with slightly bitter citrus. The bitterness is fleeting and the fragrance gains a nuanced sweetness from the coconut and orange blossom. Yes, it's super light and airy, but that's precisely what I love about it. It's the feeling you'd have if you were sitting in a garden at a resort on the Mediterranean coast, wearing a luxurious suncream under the warm sun, enjoying a cool, gentle breeze. Perfect for summer. I'd buy a backup bottle if it lasted more than a few hours. Edit: This has now become a summer staple. I wear it alone when I want to feel uplifted or layer it with Tom Ford Eau de Soleil Blanc when I want to be transported on a Mediterranean holiday. They are a magical combo that boosts the longevity of both perfumes.

This was a blind buy, but I tested Nuit in Boots and I saw this one online. It really is such a beautiful scent and has a really nice edgy in the winter breeze, especially with the salty sea notes. Longevity is long, I kept smelling it on myself 5 or 6 hours after I sprayed it. The notes play out differently in the cold weather and it takes on a new life, because the coconut isn't as strong smelling. The scent throughout doesn't really transform on me, but in the winter I get the salty sea, neroli and the orange blossom. I do also get a bit of musky orange. In the warmer weather, the coconut and musk smell a lot more prominent, but I don't smell as much neroli. Sillage is more intimate in the summer and more moderate in the winter.

My husband surprised me with this and I love it. Beautiful bottle! The opening bergamot and sea spray notes aren’t screechy to me...just beachy. The neroli, orange blossom and coconut are well-blended and pretty. The juicy fig, musk and woody notes structure it and give it warmth. Definitely luxury resort vibes. It lasts about 2 hours on me but I don’t mind reapplying. Azur is sunny, happy, feminine, warm and comforting....it reminds me of my beloved (and also discontinued 😕) Ocean di Gioia by Armani. I need to hunt down backup bottles of both.

if you want something that is full tilt summer vacation, but can't vibe with coconut forward scents, this is your girl. there is still coconut in the base, but it doesn't go into piña colada territory at all. this is much more like a tequila slammer or a margarita with a salt rim. beachy and delish

This is my favourite of the BG range. I am so disappointed that it was discontinued. This is a beautiful fresh sea breeze. Unfortunately like all the BG line, the longevity is pretty poor. I think they tried to replace this with the Lumiere however I think they should have kept this one going.

I just sniffed this in the store and didn't realize it was so new! My first thought was Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford. Will have to go back and spray it on my skin, but it's really pretty thus far! Fyi, the original Bronze Goddess was still there 😊

this is a perfume that i wear allday in the summer! fresh and feminine Orange blossom , Fig , Coconut , Sea notes , Musk & Jasmine -- these are the notes i smell on me (more or less depending on the time of the day)

Wonderful summer scent! Beachy sun white floral citrus aquatic coconut 🌴🌞🧡 AMAZING in heat! I get around 6 -8 hours longevity Sits close which is good in heat, and very office friendly!

I hope estee lauder would come out with more citrusy versions of bronze goddess. this perfume is bright, citrusy but sweet. well blended. perfect for the summer.

Edit : this is not like soleil blanc but the other TF as noted:(

This and the OG Bronze Goddess were blind buys for me. I liked Bronze Goddess, with its appealing, sunny coconut accords, but it left me slightly wanting. I was hoping its flanker would bring something new to the table, which it did. There's a very distinct cool, herbaceous note that dominates Azur, setting it apart from the OG Bronze Goddess, almost like fresh mint, despite mint not being listed in any of the notes. I believe this is how the fig note manifests on my skin, especially in combination with the very cold-smelling marine notes. The salt accord is subtle, the white floral notes of neroli and orange blossom add slight sweetness but aren't dominating. The coconut note reads more like coconut water–fresh and cool–as opposed to warm and bright coconut milk. Overall, this makes Bronze Goddess Azur one of the most pleasant and refreshing fragrances for the dog days of summer–but might be too cool to wear for any other season. However, Bronze Goddess Azur has one crippling Achilles Heel, shared with the OG–its longevity. It lasts maybe two hours on my skin, especially on my skin in the blistering SoCal heat. This sadly defeats the purpose of this otherwise lovely, well-blended and cool, fresh fragrance. I don't think I will be purchasing it again, but I am happy to have bought it–it's a good reach after a shower or a day near the pool, or for those moments when I need a good, fresh pick-me-up in the middle of the day. A safe blind buy, but sadly no staying power.

I agree with embomb and nadiadncr this is a dupe for Tom Ford Neroli Portofino but still retains the Bronze Goddess vibe as well. I LOVE NP line up from Tom Ford. They are magical in that they take me to Italy, but (and it’s a big “but”) they do not last and for that kind of money it’s almost criminal that they don’t last longer. I really like the notes in this fragrance and I think they did a fantastic job for the price point. Sure, it’s not as natural as NP or as quality, but I still think it smells fantastic. I get the sea, the salt, the fig, the neroli, the coconut, the citrus, and I think they used ambroxan instead of the musk mallow in NP but I really like ambroxan. Plus this scent has more longevity than NP. Thumbs up!

I agree that this smells like a very lovely combination of TF Neroli Portofino and TF Eau De Soleil Blanc, the best bits of both. Like the rest of the line the longevity is pretty fleeting but it’s a lovely scent for these balmy days. Based on the notes I shouldn’t like this at all but it is refreshing yet sweet, bright yet has some comforting warmth. It makes me think of freshly showered skin after a day in the sun. Edit I have just worn this on a very rainy cold February evening after a shower and it is a real mood lifter! I can’t wait to wear it in the summer.

February 2020 This is from a reviewer with at least 15 different fig-centric frags. I really didnt notice the citrus opening. It's all green figs and green coconuts to me. Slightly suntanish. As soon as I smelled it from the nozzle, I was reminded of Lucy B's Royal Green Fig. I sprayed it 3 times on my hand, went home and sprayed the LucyB on my other hand and yeah. It's pretty much the same. It's also similiar to Maison Lancome's Figue Agrumes but that one has Jasmine which makes it slightly more floral. I also wrote a review of the Lancome on this site.

I enjoyed sampling this for sure though I probably wouldn’t buy it. What it has going for it: Really well blended. Nothing overpowering. I can sometimes hate neroli and coconut can go really, well, Nuts. Neither is true here and the citrus is easy going. I have always liked the concept of a marine scent but so many haven’t worked for me. But the salt and sea notes here are polite. Biggest problem is that the longevity is poor and the fading happens in about an hour—it becomes very non descript. I might try a different flanker but am done with this one.

Today I had the chance to try it out - finally! But I can hardy believe it... It starts out exactly like Denenes, a spanish baby perfume, which you can find everywhere (Carrefour, Corte Inglés) and has been there for always. And has also been a staple of mine for summer since teenage years. Everybody knows and loves it in Spain. Well, Bronze Goddess Azur developes into a warmer skin scent. But honestly, knowing this similarity, I won ́t purchase it any more. Unbelievable. I don ́t get over it.

Save your money and buy this instead of Neroli Portofino from Tom Ford! Smells like summer and being by the ocean in the Amalfi coast on vacation. The neroli and bergamont comes through so strongly for me yet I can't smell the coconut milk. So refreshing and get it while you can because it's heavily discounted right now, maybe because it's limited condition. Longevity isn't great but it's an EDT so keep that in mind.
