Launched in 1978, Azzaro Pour Homme is definitely of its time but that is not to say that it's not relevant to today's generation of cologne wearers. Let's explore...
There is more to the opening than just anise; in fact, there's quite a concoction of smells that hit you upon first spray. A heady blend of caraway, iris, lavender, clary sage, basil, anise, bergamot and lemon strikes you in a menthol-citrus blend that is impossible to ignore.
First impressions are agreed: Azzaro Pour Homme smells 'manly'. While that may seem like quite a basic description, it is the best one for the Eau de Toilette we're wearing. The mix of aromas blend to create a recognisable and masculine scent that feels very overall very familiar. For Bryony she says it reminds her of being younger and watching her dad shaving and for the Sally, Nickie and Elaine it reminds them of their ex-boyfriends
The sandalwood, juniper, patchouli, vetiver, cedarwood and cardamon heart help this scent to mellow as it is driven by the softer, woody notes. But as hints of leather, tonka bean, amber, musk and oakmoss are introduced Azzaro feels a lot warmer and comforting, while still maintaining that subtle woodiness.
It's a hefty beast of a cologne that packs a lot of punch. Since 1978 there have been many different faces of Azzaro Pour Homme, the latest being Hollywood actor Ian Somerholder. This current choice of actor used to represent Azzaro's signature scent is an ideal way to grab the attention of a younger male audience and also a younger female audience - everyone wants their boyfriend to smell like Ian Somerholder... right?
If you have the confidence to wear and enjoy Azzaro Pour Homme than you'll love it. If you're not a fan of heavy, out-there scents than you may struggle to get past the busy opening. But if you give it a try, you'll see that the dry-down is completely wearable and utterly irresistible.
