Azzaro pour Homme (for men)

instantjim

When first sprayed on it reminds me very much of Paco Rabanne, perhaps a bit more light and spicy. This doesn't last on me as well as Paco Rabbane pour Homme does, but still a great fragrance.

This is probably the best of the dark, uber-masculine colognes. Deep and rich, but not too overpowering. Definitely better for winter -- not because the smell deteriorates with heat or sweat, but because it feels like a warm scent. The patchouli really comes through, and, yes, it is very similar to Paco Rabanne Pour Homme.

I hate to be angainst the tide here, but this one is s scrubber on me, it smells so chemical and boring.

I'm embarrassed to wear most of the "modern" men's fragrances out there. Even though some of them smell nice and fresh -and women think they smell sexy- they really aren't very manly. In fact, they can make a man smell silly(and girly). When I'm around coworkers or my family,I never want to smell like: 1. a teenage girl, 2. sweet fruity candy, or 3. cookies, cakes, cocoa, or coffee.
I'm never ashamed to wear Azzaro around anybody at anytime, ever. It is one of the quintessential real men's fragrances. Masculine, earthy, musky, deep, complex, and natural. It lasts forever and I never tire of it.

It's inexpensive, easily available, and just great. Few fragrances uplift my spirits and brighten my days as much as Azzaro Pour Homme. It smells to me like a less spicy Tuscany Per Uomo, and that's a good thing. It blends into my skin perfectly, and just smells very natural, rather than "sitting" on top of my skin. It's clean, spicy, woody, sweet and musky all at once, and blends all of those qualities PERFECTLY. One of the greatest men's fragrances ever, right up there with Eau Sauvage, Bel Ami and Green Irish Tweed.

ok,I know there's a consensus here that it's a male perfume.but I have a friend(girl) who wears this perfume!
I was really surprised,but she feels comfortable wearing it and the point is that when she sprays this fragrance,even the strongest female perfumes that I wear seem to disappear.
about the whole of perfume,you guys have told it all.it's very masculine,with a classic male scent.just imagine how should a male cologne should smell.it smells that way.

This is still one of the sexiest male fragrance out there! Makes my knees go weak…..!

You will notice that the marketing MO for this great fragrance is to induce men to buy it because their women would love it on them! …”For men who love women who love men!”….. To this extent, the marketing campaign was extremely successful.

This men’s fragrance was received with tremendous alacrity when it was first launched in 1978, and indeed remains one of the most successful and most sought after men’s fragrance after 30 years of its introduction, by men, or for men by their women or their children, (Number 3 in father’s day sales in France for 3 years in a raw2004, 2005 and 2006.)

Azzaro followed the stupendous success of its genre’s origin: Paco Rabanne Pour Homme.

Men, who were initiated to the genre by Paco Rabanne, tried Azzaro, liked it too, but always returned back to their first love: Paco.

Men, who were initiated to the genre by Azzaro, also tried Paco Rabanne and kept going back and forth between the two intermittently.

The only reason Azzaro, seemingly, appear to have outdone Paco Rabanne can easily be ascribed to women’s influence over their men.

Women are far more easily influenced by marketing subterfuges than men, and men are easily assuaged by their women, so with the tremendous success of Azzaro’s marketing strategy, we find that more women, falling under the spell of the advertising, compelled their men to prefer Azzaro over Paco Rabanne.

The two are legends, and though Azzaro seemingly has surpassed Paco Rabanne, I am one of those not so few men who still believe that Paco was and still is number one; Azzaro comes second, in the genre, with flying colors.

If you have Azzaro in your wardrobe, you must get Paco Rabanne Pour Homme to make the genre complete.

If you have neither, then it is with regret that many of us true aficionados must point at you and say: tes, tes, tes, you have no idea what you’re missing!

Classic and eternal.

"For men who love women who love men" :)

Contrary to most of the fougere fragrances, Azzaro pour Homme has an extraordinary lightness and charm. It's a bit nonchalant, but also bold and decisive. A bit coquettish, but undoubtedly - manly.

For elegant men, but not those stiff or self-important. For men with a lot of charm and inner warmth, which makes them masters of seduction ;>

This is, in my opinion, the real men's scent!
This scent reminds me a man, strong and conscientious of his masculinity. It reminds me a nice smoking on a special ocasion.
When I wear Azzaro I feel powerful as if the world was over my feet!
The mix of Lavender + patchouli + vetiver + leather make this scent a favorite one among the men in the entire world.

I was curious about this one after Turin and Sanchez gave it five stars, and I found it later that same day at a discount store for a great price. Husband and I sniffed and knew we had a winner on our hands.

Azzaro is 100% male, and the scent lasts all day long, even in the lighter concentrations. Leather, patchouli, spice and aromatics--just about every scent associated with men's fragrances and grooming are all in there.

True classics live forever! Azzaro is a true classic and I don't see it ever becoming outdated. This is a great fragrance for a man who appreciates how scent can enhance his aura, confidence and appeal.

I have known this fragance since I was a kid (long time ago)and I still buy it, it is my concept of a mancho perfume

Just sniffing the nozzle, I smelled lavender. Eh! Okay. So spritzing it on, WHOA! LAVENDER BLAST! Sharp and manly-like, and 20 minutes later, oh my, patchouli coming thru giving it a bit of a manly-BO bite! I really didn't think lavender went well with patchouli -- vomit smell? But, after about an hour, it calms down. Lavender, anise/licorice, geranium, patchouli, and amber. Somehow all that together gives off this milky but manly vibe to me. So while I enjoy the smell, I just don't think this is something I want to wear. It's certainly a distinctive scent for a guy, though. It's not an aquatic or floral, that's for sure. And sillage is pretty intense, with just two sprays! Azzaro Pour Homme would not be a good scent for someone with an occupation that requires stealth.

One of the best male purfume form the golden old days, it directly connect one to feeling of pleasure and relex.
a wonderful purfume

I agree with afraafra - it may be a little strong for today trends, nevertheless, a success in its own rights. The perfume is beautiful and has a fresh aromatic smell that makes it great to be worn during summer months. I get first the lemon and beautiful lavender, the drydown is just as perfect- I do detect the leather, and also the oakmoss ( very lightly the amber, if at all).
I always imagined a very optimistic man, athletic, with a love of nature wearing it.
Although it has a strong sillage, it is not intrusive, on the contrary, quite pleasant.

A real timeless classic with great leather drydown, may be a bit strong in todays market
