Onyx Azzaro for men

I got a big bottle yesterday and i really tried it good today i was so excited as a huge azzaro fan.
Im now smelling it close to the skin.
At first spray it great for starter very fresh n vibrant! Dry down is real nice too very hip! its a true timeless scent in a way i think this one will stay "modern" over the upcoming decades.
Its a well constructed modern spicy but fresh scent Totally dig this one! its sexy!
I really like the way the bergamot and mandarin is not present at all but almost hidden behind other ingredients alsmost perfectly leveled out so the scent of its freshness is not so obvious like other citrus scents.
Big thumbs up for ONYX!

Clean, expressive and durable! Unfortunately for me (or fortunately) I and "black silver " which is the same perfume! However, the final mark 9 / 10.

Nothing from Azzaro has impressed me quite like their "pour homme" line, and respective flankers. Azzaro onyx has swayed my view greatly of this fragrance house. I feel like onyx takes a few steps back, as far as modern fragrance goes.

I was expecting a creation year of around 1987-1995. Boy was i wrong. Don't get me wrong, this fragrance doesn't take a step back in a NEGATIVE way, it's more of an introspective reflection of what has been created.
Onyx plays by it's own rules, it's fashionable, even though it wears dated clothing. It's the man in the room wearing the wrong outfit, but wears it well.

Onyx starts off with a "kool-aidy" gust of cold leather, and sweet musty oakmoss.
As it dries down, you'll notice the leather warming up with the syrupy benzoin crystals and powdery lavender. The basil is what throws i giant question mark in the composition for me.
I love the fragrance, and then, and then...BASIL...And i sniffsniffsniff my hand again trying FOR THE LIFE OF ME to figure it out.
I can't, and it's sort of a "agree to disagree" kind of feeling. I know onyx doesn't care what i think, and that's what i like about it.


I approve

Smell: 7
Longevity: 7
Sillage: 8

Quite interesting, because I never know how my skin will adapt to this powdery patchoulie and oakmoss that just drive insane mostly my friends, They love it and want to eat me raw!!!

This is awesome and for all ages but the under 25 crowd is probably too consumed with AXE, BODY SPRAY, Cool Water and such.

Fine by me, why would you spend hundreds when you can get a "mini" of this on the web for under $10 w/o box before shipping?

Mature and sophisticated can describe this which again, will scare off the under 25 yr. old crowd but so fits this DEEP, DARK and green noted manly scent.

one of the most sexies fragrances of the world. Azzaro Onyx: The Ace of Spades!

10/10 at all

I like this scent.It is a classy scent to wear,and it is not cloying.It is great for a wedding,or wearing a black suit,and tie to work,or to a party.I would rather wear it to work,and/or for evening use.Not too bad for daytime.I like the initial citrus scent,and then the drydown of leather,and woods.it last a good while.About 7-8 hours on me.There is a Silver Black out there too,that's supposed to be the exact same thing,just the name is changed,and it's from the same house.

Something about this 'hard-to-find' gem was making me ordered it online, almost blindly. I remember that when I tried it (or it was Silver Black ?...the same stuff, anyway) all I could say was 'Wow !' because the woody-masculine combination stayed with me all day, making me feel like a mature and classy gentleman.

It opens with a blast of green bergamot & lavender, along with some cardamom that take about 1 hr. to develop into a little bitter/spicy heart that carry along an aromatic feeling of basil & geranium. After another 2 hrs. it reveals a smoky bitter-sweet woody base (leather, musk, amber, benzoin & lot of oakmoss), very masculine and pleasant.

It is indeed suitable for men over 30, but in the same time, as 'casiano' and 'knightz' said, very good as an everyday scent for a confident guy.
I like it enough to put it soon in my top 20 as it gives me such a mature and modern feeling. My humble rank 8/10.

Nice scent, not a long longevity though!
Has got a classical smell, good for formal occasions, I reckon.

A very nice citrus/herbal combination opening followed by an excellent, pleasant spicy/patchouli drydown. This is a well constructed scent - a really nice smell. Longevity is only fair though and it could do with being a bit stronger. However, this is a great fragrance and to be honest I haven't smelled anything quite like it.

I ADORE this perfume! It's the type of smell I want to spray over my pillow and hug it all night long. Very sexy modern and blends very well with the skin.

I'm quite curious about the Onyx one, never smelt it before. The comment helped a lot.

In some markets (especially in Europe) the scent is (now was, because it is discontinued) named Silver Black, in the other markets - Onyx. But the juice is the same.

Is this the same content as Silver Black? I am confuse as the name and the notes are so different!

Hope anyone who know this can clarify if ONYX = Silver Black or not? Thanks!

Update:
Thanks antonpan!
I've just got the Onyx, I can confirmed that it is 100% the same juice with Silver Black, just a different of the fragrance name, loving it!

It smells like strong man. Very sexy!

is a masterpiece.Very classic and elegant,for very formal / especial occasion.

This is a masterpiece by Monsieur Caron. I applaude your thoughtful combination of ingredients.

I bought this one and I am wearing it today, for the first time. I can remember that I have felt the fragrance a long time ago, I knew that I liked by that time, but I can’t remember how it was. Now, I am enchanted!

If someone ask me for a perfume that can be worn daily, which shows presence and elegance, I would not waste my time to give the answer: AZZARO ONYX!

I came to take a look on its olfactive pyramid and I realized that those in this site are wrong. Mine is a Tester and the notes came on its bottle. They are: bergamot, green lime, coriander, cypress tree, vetiver, amber and White musks.

On my skin, stays a kind of fresh scent with a delicious touch of spices and a base that reminded me some of Pólo Explorer, which I like. However, in this one, I guess that it has notes of Tea Mate from Chile, while in ONYX we don’t have this note. I guess that here, the cypress gives that hint.

Wonderful lasting. Another success of Loris Azzaro. I recommend!

I disagree. It is not an ordinary scent. It is actually a great scent. I have tried at least 100 different scents and this one is a favorite.

its ok, typical conventional scent nothing out of the ordinary

Called "Silver Black" in Australia. This is a great fragrance. I wasn't sure which of the two Azzaros I preferred at first, but after comparing the two I prefer this to the original Azzaro. I think this is a more distinctive fragrance, it is definitely fruitier - when initially applied it made me think of a ripe cantaloupe melon (even though it contains citrus not melon). It also has the wood and lavender that I like in the original Azzaro.

Very classic, but can't find an occasion.

Onyx by Azzaro could very well be the number one in my top five. I can't think of any other one I own (that I consider to be in my top five) which I would be comfortable wearing every day, except for V by Valentino. Onyx is at least 5 times stronger than V is, so it wins by it's sillage alone. Long lasting too, at least 6 hours on me.

I was having a difficult time putting the notes in this one in writing. It's a very spicy opening with Bergamot smoothing over the spices. Lots of rich spices in the heart, including Cardamom, Coriander, Basil, Caraway. The base is Amber, Patchouli, and little Benzoin. The reason I was having a hard time writing about this one is because there is an accord in it that makes me think of an Anise note, or an Anise-Amber accord, but there is nothing in it like Anise or Licorice. I did figure it out, it's seems like it's a coniferous note, but not Pine. It's more like a Cypress or Juniper note (maybe Retem?) that gives it a slightly sharp edge without dominating it.

I remember one recent comment I got on Onyx, indirectly, from a woman. I got on an elevator and there was 2 women behind me. Just as the doors opened for my floor I heard one of the young women take a deep sniff and ask her friend "Can you smell that?". Her friend said something like "Yeah, sooooo nice." as I walked out.

This one is a Winner! And, the ladies seem to like it too.

10/10, 4 Aces, 5 Stars, 2 Thumbs up!

Got this as a sample and used it this morning. I wasn't impressed. Smelled "old-timey". Got to work. Within 15 minutes I had 4 women comment about the nice cologne I was wearing. I'll have to try this a few more times, but I may be on to something.

I love this fragrance. I recently found 2 sample vials in with my other samples and couldn't believe I missed this onee. Nice and subtle and not overpowering. I'm gonna have to go buy some as I only have a tiny bit left in one vial.
