Azzura Azzaro for women

Very nice! Blast of a bitter citric opening but has smoothed and mellowed into a gentle floral scent - rose, jasmine and scant vanilla with fruity undertones. Creamy and dreamy. Definitely mediterranean for me.

Pretty much inoffensive if you have learnt to wait for the initial blast to subside! Classical and classy.

Not a great silage and an average lifespan on my skin!

VERY SUNNY,RICH MEDITERRANEAN SCENTS AND A "JOIE DE VIVRE"VERY NOTICEABLE..DISTINCTIVE AND FABULOUS FOR SUMMER!!!

I didn't like one Azzaro scent yet. I found them all too drugstore like. This one smells cheap too.

I have an EdP. I think it's fantastic. It smells ripe fruit, late summer, ecru lace, rich people. I was hesitant towards the scent at first. A little suede cloth of navy colour was attached to my bottle so I sprayed the scent on, and used it every now and then to wipe my eye glasses clean. And suddenly I got hooked up.
Beautiful, classy, elegant, inspiring. Love it.

definitely not floral-fruity for me. it is spicy-bitter on my skin.
I can agree that it is too masculine and medicinal, I can't detect any citruses only the strong basil(?) or something like that. I don't find it mediterranean at all.

The first few minutes practically scream after-shave but the scent starts settling down after a while.
It's spicy and tart with some kind of leaf I can't really place (some berry bush?) and citrus notes. I do get a little Lily-of-the-Valley but I can see how this is perceived as rather masculine.
Over time it gets warmer with apricot, rose and a hint of vanilla on a still spicy background.
It has a nice woody, slightly sweet dry-down. I can't tell any of the notes, apparently it's fig-tree and Yuzu (I don't exactly grow either of those in my backyard). It's a welcome diversion from the usual sandalwood and cedar.
It isn't very long lived, it barely passed the 5 hour mark.
Once the initial shock is overcome it's a nice fragrance.
There's nothing that really bugs me but it doesn't have anything I absolutely love either. I guess I'll use my bottle up in time but I won't buy it again.

I am sorry to say this is the only perfume that I find disgusting. It actually triggers my gag reflex. It smelled very medicinal to me. I am so happy it agreed with Nyoka so we could make a swap. Isn't it amazing how different our chemistries are? She loves it and it makes me shudder. It smells masculine and medicinal. This is one you should really try before you buy.

This one was a blind purchase made because it was inexpensive and on sale. Unfortunately, not a scent for me. To my nose, the opening notes and the middle notes are too bitter, too cloyingly spicy with fruity/citrusy notes under all the heavy spiced bitterness. Reminds me of our kitchen's spice rack. I think I even smell cardamom. I like cardamom in my tea not in my scents. I only liked the dry down of this scent...once the cloying-spicy-bitterness goes away 5 hours later, I'm left with a soft, opulent veil of citrus-floral-vanilla, it was a nice surprise, but I don't want to have to endure 5hrs of the 'harsh' notes before I get to the good part. My two sisters tried it out and neither liked it, they too found it cloyingly spicy. Mom likes it though, so it's going to her.
P.S. Also have to add that my male cousin actually enjoys the spicy-bitterness of it when he tried it, and remarked that he would happily wear it on himself. Give it a try if you're a lover of spices and bitter notes, run away if you can't stand them. Oh and btw, to me the spicy-bitter quality in this is similar to the one in Bvlgari's eau parfumee au the rouge (which I hate).

Very nice orange spice scent! This one has to work with your skin because it has a slight bite to it after application so if it hates or likes your skin is the difference as weather your going to agree with this one or not. I have not 100% made up my mind with this one, I have to wait until the winter because i think it will be a much better suited scent for the winter because of the spice in it.

Azzura is a nice scent. As far as masculinity I can see where the opening could give that impression. However I don't find it anymore so than Niki de Saint or Galanos. The beginning is along those lines with a strong peach / apricot effect. The dry down reminds me a great deal of Givenchy Fleur d'Interdit, of which I am a fan, a slightly lighter version. It certainly doesn't top Fleur d'Interdit in my book, but still something to try if you enjoy that style of perfume.

THanks to cisco,I am now the very proud owner of this fume.The opening is that of an open field growing with wildflowers.U stop to enjoy the smells and take a peach out of ur pocket for a snack.UMMM Orangey wildflowers.THen the classic,rose ,jasmine comes into play but,not without the sugary buttery apricots!I love the final phase.THe yuzu with its vanilla,the sexy yet sweet drydown is glorious.Thev whole experience is divine!Last a long time and projects well.

more floral but soft and classic.

I guess I am a real lover of Yuzu, because I ADORE this one as well as Eau Belle! Thank you very much Kastehelmi for your bottle!!

This scent is seductive yet spontaneous. It's sunny and fun and free. I wear it in late summer. I receive compliments from strangers of all ages, so it is liked by many. So tread lightly, it could get you into trouble... ;-D

I loved the scent, but some ingredient- maybe the iridescent particles, gave me a rash when exposed to sunlight- I'd have a "necklace" of tiny spots all around my collarbones- so I gave it away, not without regret, 'cause I think the note worked nicely on me.

Sweet. Classy. Sexy. Womanly & Exotic. Easy to wear & very likable. Mild & non-offensive. In my opinion it's very inviting .. I wear this fragrance once the sun is no longer in sight :o)

This is a delightful citrusy fruity floral-sour, bitter, only a touch sweet, and just slightly musky vanilla.
I wanted to try it, because I liked what Coco Mademoiselle is aiming for, but I am allergic to it-

Coco Mlle has the patchouli-white musk killer combo, and smells expensive without smelling friendly or unique for me-but it's still a hit for having some kind of sophisticated balance that is absent from many popular designer fragrances. Azzura seems to be allergen-free for me.
Coco Mlle has a successful floral-citrus combination, but I'm not the only one who found it harsh on the nose and the nerves. Azzura is quite different from Coco Mademoiselle (which is a good thing), but it satisfies some of the desired traits for a balanced fragrance that Coco Mlle. might fulfill.
I have to try Azzura a few more times, but for now, I can say the lily of the valley and the yuzu make a fond impression on my skin, and after experiencing the very tart opening, the fragrance unfolds and warms, and although it isn't quite linear on me, it doesn't change too much, which I quite like--for a change :)

The remaining vanilla is nice, simple and not too synthetic. I think this would be great on a warm spring day, or on a breezy summer afternoon.

Update: I thought I liked it, but it's really too modern sour-same overuse of yuzu as Eau Belle. What a shame.

Fruity-floral-musky.

Very Italian!

It doesn't make a classic scent pyramid - smells the same after a few hours as when you spray it on your skin.

It's rich, sunny and optimistically spontaneous, at the same time having a distinct personality and being full of sensual charm.

For a modern and strong woman, who always attracts the attention of others by the warmth, friendliness and grace emanating from her.

The bottle reminds the Sun. It was created by Katherine Krunas.

Yes, this one definitely is a Mediterranean scent and it is really nice. It is spicy and fresh wth citric notes For me it´s less floral.

I bought this fragrance in 2004... and still have it. Initially, I liked it a lot, but afterwards found out it is not for me.

It reminds of the Mediterranean? Yes, probably, but a few decades ago. It is somewhat old-fashioned to me. In fact, too retro...
I purchased it without having it sniffed - I was just impressed by the conception telling a romantic story of a girl who found happiness in a small distant village. It sounded really nice, but the scent had nothing to do with such a description.

However, the fragrance is warm, a bit sweet and pretty bitter.
Having in mind the sharpness of the dominant notes and the relative heaviness of it all, I imagine aristocrat ladies 1 or 2 centuries ago having their afternoon tea in the garden or going for a walk along the park alleys.

Girls you just dont know how much this smells like Coco Mademoiselle.!!!!!I cant beleive it!So if u like Coco but u dont have the money for it,buy this one ,you will not regret!Beleive me!

One of my favourite fragrances. First I fell in love with the shimmering body lotion because it smells great, powdery, soft and relaxing.
Then I tried the perfume and I bought it (two bottles so far). It's fruity in the opening with apricot, unofficial peach note and uncommon powdery citrus. It's not another fruity-floral indeed. I'd say it's a light and modern chypre. I have never smelt other fragance which reminds me of Azzura.

This perfume smells quite different depending on the weather. I think it gives its best when it's hot.

One of the few chypres I like.
