Azzaro Couture Reviews
Fragrantica - "It is an example of perfect balance and proportion in perfume composition. This lovely bouquet opens with a fresh green sharpness, but the florals take center stage throughout the development. Azzaro Couture is the embodiment of elegance and refined taste..."
Basenotes - "This is an interesting floral/fruity chypre. It is largely linear, not a common trait for a chypre, and while it is sweet, the sweetness lies in the floral notes and not the fruity notes. The rose is candied, but the fruit note, somewhere between melon and pear, is tart and sharp. There are many notes listed (rose, bergamot, mimosa, ambrette seed, galbanum, patchouli.) Somehow they create a nose-gestalt that reads as a light chypre, a floral/fruity and a spicy musk. The spiciness reads as a nicely placed pepper note reminiscent of the one in Caron’s Parfum Sacré. It lines up beautifully with the rose and the fruit. It cuts the rose’s sweetness, gives the fruit its green edge and lasts from start to finish."
Fragrantica: "this is a hidden gem of well-blended floral notes on a bed of grassy, musky and slightly fruity accords. Yes, it is a cool fragrance, but not in a dark or aloof way. It's bright, as it has a clean and refreshing vibe about it, making me feel like I'm stepping out on a clear, crisp morning, the green of the foliage and the cool wind playing in my hair and over my face. It feels almost balsamic and as soft as a silk scarf, and I think it's well suited for any kind of weather."
