Azzaro Now Women (for women)

exciter76

I want to love this fragrance. Really, I do, and in the most desperate of ways. Now is the creation of two of my favorite noses--one of my all-time favorite noses, Annie Buzantian--and it is composed of some of my all-time favorite notes. I have no clue what went so horribly wrong but at this present time it is all I can do to bring myself to even tolerate Now.

I do adore the work of Annie Buzantian. However, I've noticed a signature pattern in Buzantian's work where she incorporates notes that teeter a fine line of poetically dissonant and uncomfortably discordant. Typically, this fine line makes her creations works of olfactory genius; take the unexpected pepper in Sensuous, the seemingly opposed praline and patchouli in Flair, or the rose bouquet secretly spiked with cognac in So In Love. Somehow Buzantian makes the unthinkable meld in the most lovely way. Sadly she did not perform her usual magic with Now.

Buzantian and Morillas mixed what should have been the most delicious and decadent tropical elixir: tiare flower, passion fruit, lime, rum. What we are left with is a concoction that cannot decide if it is a men's cologne or a fluffy "I-just-turned-twenty-one-today" tropical drink brimming with over-the-top sweetness. The split personality of this mad scientist's perfume left my nostrils confused and offended many around me. One friend asked if I had gone through his collection of colognes and sprayed myself silly. At times I had to ask myself the same question.

Compulsively I continue to reach for this fragrance but I know this is not for me. Anyone care to swap?

I really enjoy the top notes-they are quite spicy-It is odd how the top notes smell, compared to the actual notes listed. I wish the top notes would stay longer-they are so zingy and vibrant! The middle notes have good staying power and the aldehydes do give a "watery " feel to the white flowers in the composition-well done there ! The middle notes last and last ! The dry down is very pleasant and faint. I did not sense any strong rum or strong rose in the base. After the top notes fade away, and then after about 2 or 3 hours, the perfume becomes very light. I like this mixture !I agree with the other reviewers here that it is a day time scent, and "modern" .

I got this one as christmas gift and at first i was really sceptical because i never saw a bottle like this, but after awhile i recognized that "now" is a very nice fragrance.
The scent is a fresh one, it becomes more and more fruity/floral after few hours. Suits very well for daytime :)

i don't like it.very simple fragrance,something between tea,toilet freshener-yes and a drink with rum.at first i liked it but when i start using it i was disappointed.maybe 'we' are not a good combination;)because when i smell it on my mother,i really enjoy it:)

Luciana

A fragrance tailor-made for this generation: among adolescents and adults.
A name which is also the Declaration of a whole generation. The "NOW GENERATION".
A strong, vibrant ...
a soft floral fragrance that combines a fruity freshness with an abstract floral softness captivating.
Fragrances surprising easy to carry. An emblematic design. A truly new and different bottle, designed for the hand, combining beauty and practicality.

This is a very modern perfume, full of good ideas, so much better than the usual friut salad type, because it combines freshness with floral, warmer notes. Very innovative approach, original bottle. I don't agree with the "toilet freshener" - association mentioned above - but who knows, even toilet fresheners are getting better those days. No, honestly, it is a quality perfume worth your attention!
