Azzaro Pour Homme Elixir Azzaro for men

good stuff..nice for winter nights when u want to project oriental spicy woodsy.

This is the first time im smelling azzaro brand and i have to say im impressed with this one.But...WTF im smelling AGAIN xeryus rouge!!!The majority of perfumes ive smelled are like xeryus!!!Did it have such a huge impact on other brands?I cant get it as xeryus is the definition of generic and non inspiration...
Now azzaro pour homme elixir for me is the "bridge'' between the old man scent and the modern sexy guy.It succeeds in that a lot.The opening is a harsh old man smell,but in the drydown it becomes a thick,heavy,creamy and dark cherry smell which is awsome.
Longetivity is 4 hours but maybe cause the sprayer sprays a small amount of juice.So its below average per spray.
Projection could be better.its within arm length after half an hour.

This one would score higher if i didnt get the resemblance with xeryus rouge,but a guy who enjoy xeryus will LOVE it.

Overall score: 7.5/10

i tried it because i was searching for a fragrance which has a kind of smell of blackberry and yes i am fully satisfied !

i love this fragrance
i adore it

its sweet but not too sweet

i would describe it as elegant, oriental, sweet, not cloying,

Longevity about 6-8hours
projection more close to skin

10/10 cause its good and unique

This cologne came to break down some paradigms - that still exist - about the brand Azzaro.
It’s been a while since the House launches different scents as Onyx, Aqua, Chrome, etc. but it seems to me that people only have a fixed idea about Azzaro colognes: strong smell, dated, "old", etc. And all of this because one of the most well positioned product (in marketing terms) in the world of perfumery, which is the traditional Pour Homme.

Well, in this Elixir version, they decided to keep the dna of the original in a well done manner, putting the most striking notes of yore, in the beginning, which means that the tonka beans and the oakmoss notes (very noticeable in the original version) jumped from the base to the top notes, joining to the lavender note, and activating the memory of the traditional fans, as soon as it applied, without staying during all the evolution of the scent on the wearer skin, avoiding comparisons and complaints. It was a clever way to keep the sense of fidelity, without copying the aroma and looks like just another silly version of the original, as we can see in so many releases from renowned brands.
The heart of the fragrance brings a unique creaminess: if it was not enough the presence of benzoin that, normally, has this function of giving a more creamy aroma, often said as "vanilla smell", we still have the proper vanilla - of which I am a declared fan – very well merged with citrus notes and coumarin. Finally, an intense fruity base, with notes of juicy blackcurrant and pears.

The truth is that they managed to successfully bring the traditional aroma of Azzaro Pour Homme, from 1978, to the modern market of the 2000’s, fully restored on a bottle of straight lines (identical to the original) submitted to the colors of lust. And the result is a most sweet and creamy aroma, nothing synthetic, that projects and lasts very well – basic features of an Azzaro - and pleases anyone. At last, a true ELIXIR.

I cannot believe it had been released in 2009, it has not the modern vibe, but I like it very much.

I do not remember very well the top and middle notes, but the base is Vanilla and Lemon....it brings to me the smell of Shalimar ! leather and incense make the difference.

It doesn't smell like Azzaro Pour Homme, but the connection is there: whereby Azzaro Pour Homme is an aromatic fougere, Elixir is an aromatic oriental. You don't hear that term very often, do you?

It's heavy and sweet, yet it's made interesting and non-cloying due to a unique hazelnut-like smell in the heart of the scent. It breaks up the sweetness and adds great beauty to the whole fragrance. This nutty smell lasts for the entire duration of the scent.

Sillage is huge, and so is the staying power, making this a clear winner if you're looking for a heavy and unique oriental scent.

MY RATING: 8.5/10

oriental fragrance, with fast drying long lasting.
p / I 8/10

this is a difficult one to review. because i absolutely hate the opening of this fragrance, it's loud, messy and lacks a certain base structure. it's like a grenade of bitter spices right in your face, not very pleasant. the drydown however is really lovely, the opulent vanilla gives the bitterness a nice warm and sweet touch. this perfume is not particulary bad, if you can get past the horrific opening, but i would not advice you to buy it ...

This scent excites me to the point that each time I wear it I want to play some old classic somgs on my ipod. I'm 25 and to me this is a nice scent that doesn't smell like too many other fragrances going about just now which is a bonus but has it's own uniqueness and a classic kick. I was interested in buying this when I read on here that it was a reinterperetation of the original 1978 fragrance. It smells new but it retains that old character that you would expect from an older fragrance. I have never smelled the original but this was a curious prchase that I had to make. It's not my number 1 scent but I like it and wear it often. Doesn't have super sillage but it seems to last a good 7+ hours on my skin with about 3 sprays on either side of the neck. At the relatively cheap price it sells for it's worth buyin a bottle to add to your collection. I like the design of the bottle and red is my kind of colour. I do sniff out a slight resemblance with Xeryus Rouge (I have that too) but this seems to be a bit sweeter and creamier and not quite as harsh, certainly not as strong and long lasting but still a good purchase in my collection. I will happily buy another bottle when I run out of this

Too much vanilla and not enough of the other interesting stuff.

I can sense the Azzaro pour Homme in the background, and adding the sweet components give a scent more like Xeryus Rouge than Pi, Joop, and some man's scents with vanilla base that may add a feminine aura to it. It's not the "cute" kind of sweet man scent. I think it is good, a bit interesting, and heavy.

Immensely shocks at the very beginning with a composition without booze but on a chemical medical tone like a off-dated syrup that you don't believe how it amazes you and wonder how a tough guy like this can present this way. It's on a highly contrasted theme consisting heavy presentation of vanilla and tonka at one side and stubborn mellowing and softening fruity floral more on pear and lavender at the back that woos ladies badly!
Can be similar to Joop Homme but comparing it to that, it's softer and more delicate, yet so masculine and more formal.

a very long lasting perfum
i love it

thank you azzaro

the dry down of elixir reminds me somehow with YSL opium pour homme ! i think elixir is like a tuned down version of opium .....

Another "had to" blind buy, just to see how similar it was to Xeryus Rouge. I've been lucky enough to pick up a couple of Vintage bottles of XR - something I would wear all the time if it wasn't so scarce & expensive, so Elixir as a possible more common & affordable substitute just had to be tried.

Well, yet again the reviews here prove completely worthy - Elixir is very similar indeed, not as complex, not as deep, missing the ultimate quality of Vintage XR, but nonetheless it's sufficiently similar to satisfy my cravings.

Elixir, if anything, I find to have a bit more sour fruitiness to it - I agree with the Cherry Stones analogy from antonpan. I can sense the Geranium accord which bolsters it similarity to XR. On the absent side, It's lacking the chilli heart that I find so dominant in XR. With these initial differences, I can't deny that this comes very close to my favourite Givenchy......even the bottle shares a resemblance.

As for sillage & longevity - I'm 3 hours into a couple of wrist sprays and the aroma is plainly wafting around as I type.....it seems to be perking a little and lasting a lot longer than I expected.....all adds up to a great all rounder.

Very pleased - Love it.....can't say anything other than that. Thanks again to you all for some accurate reviews that takes the pain out of blind buys.

Yet another pointless, "modern" scent that's not really bad, but not good either. Does this Adventure / Freigeist / Bleu genre have a name yet? Perhaps "anynomous" would fit, and this one is nothing more than another member of the genre.

Azzaro Elixir was a pleasant surprise! This one starts out with a dominant fruity/Sweet smell. A blast of lavender followed by fruits that trough times, gives space to a dominant vanilla/tonka bean chord, and so, the fragrance stays this way, until the end.

Anyway, you can't go wrong with this one, specially because it is a cheap fragrance, if you don't like it, the damage won't be much.

Ideal for evening wear. Seems a little Jacomo Rouge. I think Silver Black better. Azzaro Pour Homme is unlikely to have a competitor. The creature does not surpass his master ...

IMO it is quite similar to Xeryus Rouge by Givenchy, in the middle (that's why I bought it). For me it's spicy and long lasting, changing. Sexy and hot frangrance :) which can be quite seductive. IMO for cold days - autumn, winter

A fruit powdery scent with one or two notes that remind me of the classic aZZARO pH. Nice smell, with an opening that announces a resemblance with Joop Thrill, but that evolves to a charming aura, quite different from Thrill's evolution.
It lasts a long time on my skin and would be perfect for colder nights. I think it could be a bit overpowering in the heat.

Very bright, sweet, and fruity at the beginning that in no doubt is designed as a pretty hook to ensnare casual browsers. It gradually dries down into a long lasting fruity-powdery scent which IMAO is simply way too feminine for most men to contemplate wearing. I love Azzaro as a house of wonderful men’s fragrances, but I doubt if this will ever become a classic like the original ApH.

It says that this fragrance was put on the market in 2009? So, where can I buy this? Any information would be appreciated. Tx

Finally got this anticipating fragrance. I should say that this is the biggest victory of Azzaro house for the last 15 years. I expected Elixir to be something similar to... Davidoff Hot Water, sweet and powdery. But in result I got a complex scent, that can't be named sweet. The main advantage of Elixir that it is not a copy of sth else, it is rather self-sufficient, has its own soul. To tell the truth, it has two souls: the strong, manly and maybe fougere soul of original Azzaro PH and the the fruity-sweet soul of the new wave of fragrances. But Azzaro Pour Homme Elixir doesn't seem as a modern fragrance, it expresses the mood of 90's to my mind. For me Elixir is the scent of cherry stones, and in this way it reminds Chanel's Egoiste. In the drydown I feel the Fahrenheity floral notes. In whole I would name Elixir a balsamic mix of chypre and fruity notes. Definitely if Elixir appeared in the early 90's it would be an adequate rival to both Egoiste and Fahrenheit.

The scent stays close to skin, but has better than avarage longevity. Sure that women will love it and find it sexy.

itttt issssss amaaaaaziiiinngggggggggggg,and very hoottt

I can't wait for this one. I'm a big fan of the original. Interesting that the first one is a Fougere and this one is Oriental

So very nice to hear the news of Pour Homme Elixir by Azzaro... a remake of original classic.. from 1978... it was the first perfume i had.. desperately waiting to give try to the new version!

But one thing i am concerned about, the new version of 1978's classic and no musk in notes pyramid??
