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. It also has the woodiness that I like in the original Azzaro.

I just tried this new classic today. It was a gift. I was skeptical after the forgettable Visit. This convinces me that Azzaro has made a serious effort in mens fragrance. I usually stay away from black scents. I am a green guy. Drakkar Noir was my last. Salvador Dali is still in my collection. This beats all of the competition by leaps and bounds. It opens with refreshing lavender/citrus lightness. Then the heart notes cannot be beat! Basil, geranium and cardamon lends this mysterious nocturnal sensuality that turns heads.It finishes quietly and last all day. Great sillage. Trendsetting? Yes. Original? Absolutely! Elegant and suave like Dracula.

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.
