Azuree Pure by Estee Lauder

Guerlain

If you want to try a lighter dupe of this very impressive and heavy fragrance, I highly recommend you to try CLARINS "Eau Dynamisante". It reminds a lot of this one, but it's sweeter and lighter patchouli. I just got "Azuree Pure" today, and got an instant flashback to CLARINS.

I've found that the best way to put this on and not overwhelm the general public is to spray it on a cotton ball and spread it on all the pulse points.

Azuree is a great chypre fragrance with citrus, herbs, leather, and some green floral notes in the background. I get the moss and patchouli notes in the base. Azuree is a underrated fragrance that really deserves more attention than it has received over the years. It is a 40 year old classic that has stood the test of time in the perfume world. Azuree reminds me of the late 70's, Fleetwood Mac and all. It may be dated by todays standards, but that's ok, because so am I. I highly recommend this nice fragrance.

I love leather scents, but was disappointed with the lasting power of my previous favorite, Cabochard. I purchased Azuree upon the recommendation of several other Fragrantica members. I now have a new favorite leather!

I first sniffed a new bottle at an Estee Lauder cosmetics counter and it was lovely. The sunny citrus and soapy aldehyde notes are more detectible in the tester I sniffed than in the vintage bottle I eventually purchased, and they gradually give way to a beautiful unisex mossy leather scent. The new Azuree smelled beautiful, lasted for hours and is well worth the reasonable $35 at which it was priced.

I didn't purchase anything that day, but when I had an opportunity to purchase a vintage bottle a few weeks later, I snatched it up.

My vintage Azuree Cologne spray fast-forwards to the sexy leather/patchouli/moss accord in the base of this scent. I don't know if this fragrance has been reformulated, or if the fragile top notes of my aged bottle have just burnt off over time. The leather aspects are what I love best about this fragrance, so the vintage Azuree suits me fine.

Both new and vintage Azuree provide a lovely sun-warmed leather aroma that lasts all day long. It's a softer leather fragrance than Bandit, and does not have the slight animalic tang that I detect in Cabochard. There's a touch of something in it that reminds me of Fidji by Guy Laroche.

Wearability, longevity and a reasonable price make Azuree a must-try for men or women if you enjoy leather fragrances.

My mom's signature scent since 1976. It smells good but dated. I think it's too strong for casual use. Kind of smells like a man's cologne IMO. Very strong and lots of green and leather notes to it.

I simply hate it! a scent right out of the 60ties!!! old fashioned, overly strong..not for me!!!!

Yes, Juliette, like all of the Bernard Chant perfumes that I have smelled, this works well on a man. Chant, along with Germaine Cellier, was definitely a master at big Chypre fragrances, and this is no exception. He also created Aramis and the original Cabochard, both of which are descendents of Cellier's Bandit. This is definitely an all day scent. Strong citrusy top notes that stay well into the middle...which lasts for hours. Azuree takes literally all day to get to the oakmoss drydown of Chypres. I sprayed Azuree on one arm and Mitsouko on the other, and the heart notes of Azuree were still there five hours later, while the Mitsouko had already gone to oakmoss. This is a great fragrance (around since 1969!), and an absolute bargain ($38.99 on Ebay!) that will last you forever. If you like Bandit and Mitsouko, this is for you, man or woman.

If not overused, this is a refreshing, crisp scent. If used too heavily, you will smell like the bottom of an unclean hamster cage.

This is - to my knowledge - the creation of the great Bernhardt Chant- a genius who composed perfumes like Cabochard, Aramis and Aromatics Elixier. You can feel his handwriting here again, a very leathery, bitter fragrance, oakmoss, galbanum - extremely tenacious. Very original, but better on a man than on a woman, I'd reckon. Nevertheless, an underrated marvel.
