Reviews of Azzaro pour Homme (1978)
by Azzaro

I can speak of impressions only. It is an absolute punch-in-the-face of rugged manliness. Not having read any of its ingredients I could easily believe that the scent was captured off of a rugged lumberjack having just killed a wolverine for a winter dinner.

I smell no spice, only animal. Ive thought about wearing this out to the bars with my college buds but as you can imagine, it is an intense debate ; ) However, for science sake, maybe ill give it a shot.

Old fashioned? Not for the young? You got to be kidding me! Sure, I can see the part where some may refer to this as being a bit old fashioned but at the end it doesn't matter because the smell is great, timeless and versatile. I can see this as being an all-around scent that can be worn in all seasons but many may not agree. For the cheap price that it goes for I will definitely think about buying more since my bottle is only 1 oz.

Azzaro pour Homme is a classic masculine fragrance.

I am a huge fan of anise, and really enjoy the interplay between the top notes of petit grain, lemon, and anise in ApH. The top notes sparkle, and there is a lovely balance between sweet, bitter, green, and citrus.

In the middle I particularly notice the vetiver, basil, and oak moss, and they seem to take turns coming to the fore as the day goes on.

On my skin the base settles down to a masculine musk infused with patchouli and sandalwood. The patchouli and sandalwood seem to stop the musk from becoming too animalic, and the consequence of this is a set of base notes that suit everything from jeans and a T-shirt to a suit and tie.

To my nose ApH is a balanced and rounded 70s powerhouse that is both interesting and enjoyable today.

It tends to stay close to my skin, and lasts around eight hours.

For guys who like Givenchy Gentleman and/or Chanel Antaeus, ApH is definitely worth a try. To my mind ApH is more sophisticated than Gentleman and better balanced than Antaeus.

I agree with all the admirers of this scent. Whether it's dated or not is of no consequence. It's classic. I love it when a frag that has lavender blends it correctly !!!

The opening is strong but not overpowering and yet concise. Some frags are too busy in the top notes, while Azzaro PH is uncluttered. The anise is just right.

Once the mild patchouli gives leave, a nice musky leather takes the wheel and drives you safely to your destination. Just because this is old skool doesn't mean it's irrelevant.

Not much to add here that hasn't already been said. I have Lavender, which is its strong top note, but, its not too overwhelming and dies off after about 20 minutes or so. After that, the rich vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss notes come through. They never really go away, but s...l....o....w....l....y fade ever so slightly and give way to the nice, warm musk. They all mesh nicely. This is a very good, classic scent. Perfect for any occasion and atmosphere. Its still relevant today as it was in the 70s. Classy 70s, not cheesy 70s.

Wonderfully warm drydown, with that earthy musk and ambergris, lasts forever on me whereas newer,sweeter scents disappear in a flash. To me it's the 'cleanest' of the 70s scents, and now I'm in my 30s, smelling like a well groomed Italian banker doesn't feel me with dread.

This is a great masculine fragrance from a time when they knew how to make a good, solid men's fragrance and wasn't afraid about it being too overpowering.
When I wear this, it casts an aura around me that says gentleman.
I'm not afraid to put a few sprays of this on for work. It is stronger than most contemporary fragrances, but not too strong. I think any man would be very comfortable wearing this one. Sillage is ok and longevity average.

Great, classic fragrance. Thumbs up.

I actually agree with Luca Turin on this one. Azzaro PH is a definite classic. It may seem like a typical fougère at first but it actually smells more herbaceous to me then many of its siblings. It has a constant intriguing interplay of fresh, herbal, spice and animal that helps it to stand on its own in the midst of a very crowded fragrance family. It starts out with a roar but soon dries in to a full blown purr on my skin. I love it, and I'm happy to say it loves me back!

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

-- Charles Dickens

I'm just going to come right out and say it: I love the 70s. Bell bottoms, flower shirts, long hair and moustaches, funk and disco, swinging, Good Times and Sanford & Son, Burt Reynolds--I'll take it all. Before Reagan. Before AIDS. Before padded shoulders.

Azzaro PH and Paco Rabanne PH evoke the 70s for me more than any other fragrances, and that makes them winners in my book. I have nothing to add to the fine descriptions of this fragrance below, except to say that there's nothing wrong with unbuttoning your shirt, growing a moustache, and channeling your inner swinger. The 70s are dead. Long live the 70s!

Simply the best of the masculine, clean scents... I love it and can wear it any day for any occasion. To top it off, the price is low.

Not much to add here... A classical fougere that possesses a timeless beauty which ought not be ignored. The mid notes are very green and invigorating, but maybe a bit too green for my taste. The base notes however, are much better. The drydown reminds me of Van Cleef & Arpels' Tsar: herbal, lively and rather cool. It's also a very elegant fragrance... I can't imagine wearing it with anything but a suit and a tie. Although not in the same category with legends as Armani pour Homme, Green Irish Tweed and other great fragrances of the 80's, Azzaro is a perfume that definitely should be discovered by many.

top notes:
Lavender, Anise, Fennel, Basil
heart notes:
Patchouli, Cardamom, Vetiver, Sandal
base note:
Amber, Oakmoss, Musk, leather

A superb aromatic fougeres, Azzaro pour homme (APH) is probably the best of its kind. Yes, it has that characteristic aromatic lavender mossy accord found in almost every fougere launched since Ron Jeremy posed in playgirl, but what lifts it into the pole position of this genre is an interesting twist involving hippie juice and what vomit.

APH opens with a typical lavender burst, but it's brushed with uplifting herbal/sweet notes of anise and fennel (smells like a more herbal anise) which thankfully prevent APH from descending into the uber forceful loud hairy chest juice types. A little dusting of smooth cardamom heats up the act before you start wondering what can APH can do to distinguish itself from the hordes of fougere liquids out in the market. Infact I am surprised that so far very few reviews have mentioned these key distinguishing ingredients in APH....ambergris and patchouli. 20 minutes after application the patchouli note lends an earthy aroma to the accord, while a vomity smelling ambergris note provides further intrigue and character to APH. The result is an aromatic fougere of an (arguably) more complexity and concrete design than other similar quality fragrances like Paco rabanne pour homme.

APH is a top tier aromatic earthy ambery fougere with excellent longevity. I don't agree that its "dated" unless ofcourse you are 35 years old and have memories of your uncle holding you unusually close to his chest when you were young and your parents were out. The ingredients are top notch - infact, I hear that amidst the messy synth bombs like Visit, Onyx and other chemical hazards, Azzaro have been forced to maintain the quality of ingredients in APH upon the order of the great don of the italian mafia who wears APH while partying with his various mistresses or extorting local business owners for "rent" ..

Rating: 8.75/10.00

Azzaro is one of the more spicy and sharp edged fougere scents, its topnotes bristling with sage, lavender, thyme, and any number of dry aromatics. While it’s not as aggressive a masculine scent as say, Yatagan, (which came out only two years earlier,) it is only slightly less harsh in its profile. Imagine Yatagan having made a few concessions to civilized society, and you might come up with something very much like Azzaro. Not to imply that Azzaro pour Homme lacks distinction. With its brash, unsweetened herbal character it is immediately recognizable.

As it develops Azzaro’s herbs and spices make room for a piney accord that’s bitter enough to suggest even a touch of creosote. In fact, I’m reminded when I wear it of creosote-soaked timbers. There’s a good deal of moss and vetiver buried at Azzaro’s core as well, and these lend the composition an earthy quality and a certain degree of sophistication it might not otherwise possess. Unlike some of the hard-hitting ‘80s masculines that followed it, Azzaro makes a brisk, outdoorsy impression – more lumberjack than junk bond trader. The lasting power is outstanding and the sillage tremendous, so it pays to wear Azzaro in moderation, especially if you’re going to be working or traveling in close quarters.

Is Azzaro dated? Only in the sense that no designer label would release a scent like this today. Azzaro is far too assertive for today’s pallid, spineless men’s fragrance market. Thank goodness. And thank Loris Azzaro for leaving this classic stand, alongside the likes of Kouros and Yatagan, as a monument to the scent industry’s braver days.

Azzaro Pour Homme is a spicy, woody, musk laden scent, next to none. an amazing concoction brewed in 1978, height of

orientals, if one looks back, its not very hard to see how this scent could have turned heads back then, to me it does so

even now.

opens with a classic "Burst" of lavender and anise which if over sprayed could leave you gasping for fresh air, the opening

is mighty heavy holding back the collage of woody and earthy notes to burst forwrd on a very "misty" and "dirty" base of Musk

and amber. i thought, no girl would ever like this, but i was so wrong, my wife just loves its drydown, matter of fact even i

do. a scent tht has amazing longevity, terrific sillage and lovely drydown, sure to please all the way to the last drop and

kind of scent which will keep one interested and most importantly keep discovering new things with in it with each wear.

Strong enough for a Man - but I love it too! Oddly, it was Mario put me onto it and I'll be forever grateful. On me it opens with lavender and the zing of geranium and I get more sandalwood and lemon and a lot of skank. Which I adore. It lasts and lasts and right now it's my fave fougere.

After the initial rather harsh opening, it quietens down and becomes highly enjoyable, similar to Polo green but with less green opening and great leathery drydown. Lasts for ever.

What a powerhouse! Starts off pungent and very dated, yet dries down to one of my favourites of this genre.

Very good stuff - lasts for hours on end and is good for everyone. Nicely done 70's classic.

RECOMMENDED.

I was wild as hell at fifteen, and my black concert t-shirts were saturated with all kinds of things, Azzaro pour Homme being one of them. Waking up was a challenge, but Azzaro PH gave me the bump I needed and always did the job at any time. I still wear it at forty and it’s as good as ever. It’s hale, clean, suitably gray and aloof, but with a laser focus that most fougères don’t deliver. Both are in the matte-black stealth category, and while Rive Gauche pour Homme is excellent, it works on a duller edge. But Azzaro PH never loses its edge, maintaining a sharp connection at all times. It’s still the best fougère out there, and it’s also one of the few definitive paragons of men’s fragrances. If there were an official fragrance for movies like Heat, Deep Cover, and King of New York, Azzaro pour Homme would be at the front of the line.

Azzaro pour Homme is Paco Rabanne without the sharp biting pine top-note. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Paco Rabanne, but I think Azzaro does it that much better, and in all fairness to PR the pine top-note does diminish fairly rapidly, so I love both fragrances, but the Azzaro gets more of it right in my opinion. My wife loves the Azzaro too.

What's not to like here?

A brilliant scent, often imitated but this is the original. Sweet woods, musk, amber, and silky spices in a distinctive, powerful, intense package. Bold but perfectly balanced. Manly, warm, sexy, exciting and provocative. Wear it with pride, or don't even bother.

This scent is 30 years old and may seem dated. It is certainly a stark contrast to the "fresh, clean, and light" scents favoured today. The powerful sweet musk is a throwback to a time when masculinity wasn't as carefully packaged as it is now, or perhaps just to a time when everyone smoked everywhere and a scent had to cut through the lingering stink of stale tobacco.

This is a great classic scent and I will always have a bottle on hand.

I came to this later in life--I must have been smelling it in the late 70s and 80s, but I don't remember it.... Imagine the shock, years later, when I finally get around to buying some and realize what I have been missing! Justifiably famous for its perception of hairy chested machismo, this is in fact a beautifully balanced scent that starts out as a beguiling clean barbershop smell that takes you through a whole range of worlds (anise, lavender, ambergris) ending in--au fond--hairy chested machismo. And what is wrong with that, at the end of the day? This just plain smells good--it is clean, virile and sexy. Clearly an inspiration for St.Laurent's Rive Gauche Pour Homme, this is where it all started and ultimately--au fond--will end.

This is one of those never-failing ones that I can go back to when I am having trouble selecting a fragrance from my wardrobe; it is a fragrance very much of the 70s AND 80s, but there is something, maybe the anise/lavander/petit-grain/geranium accord in the top, that makes it simultaneously modernist and classic.

I don't know - but this smells masculine and timeless in a way that few others, perhaps 18/19/20 in the masculine genre, do.

It has the elements that may lead one to place this in communion with Paco Rabanne - however, whereas Paco Rabanne has that human sweat-leather-honey-muskyness that makes it smell dirty, both in good and bad ways, Azzaro, whilst it certainly does have it's animalic elements, shares more of the herbal and woody notes found in Paco.

In addition, the slight, albeit very much present floral-amber accord that features in Obsession for men may also be found in Azzaro. Indeed, the spicier, arid elements of Aramis can also be found in this fragrance...Not to mention the woody-slightly burnt-bronzed-incense featured by L'Occitane's Eau Baux...with its prominent ambroxin-cyprus-vetiver-incense accord...however not to the extent of the previously mentioned fragrances.

All in all, quite an acceptable fragrance - certainly not the greatest in the world - but it is herbal, green, woody, animalic and ambery, without being questionably dirty in the sense of Paco Rabanne, so floral, spicy and ambery as Obsession, or so uber-masculine as Aramis, whilst maintaining an acceptable balance of each, not over-doing it.

Go ahead, and spritz a little Azzaro.

7/10.

A violent concoction of lavender and spices attacks for nose to start, followed by a sickeningly sour heart and a dull base...

...if you spray it on a card.

If you spray it on your skin, however (well, my skin anyway), it blossoms into a rich, woody, subdued, slightly musky aura scent. Gotta love the ambergris drydown. In an Azzaro. Who'd have thought?? The only aspect of it that I'm not a fan of is the strong anise on top, but it fades soon enough on my skin. Good all-around scent.

This is the scent, with real ambergris and musk, that can assist one to dominate the boardroom or bedroom...
Make no mistake this is intense, powerful, and not for the faint of heart or childlike wimps.
From the citrus opening, through the aniseseed and onto the musk this frag exudes a sharp, fresh, slightly unrefined clout that cannot be ignored.
Free flowing silage and above average longevity make this bottle a "must have" in any man's arsenal...try some if you dare...

I picked up a bottle of this based on several Basenotes reviews and must say that it's not bad at all. Comes very cheap at the drugstore and has a real presence. Sort of an "in-between- drugstore-and-department-store" scent. I definitely get the anise note quite loudly, and the drydown is subtle, yet "thick", with good sillage and longevity. Perhaps not on the same level of sophistication as some of the scents that it's similar to like Tuscany, Boss Number One, or A&F Woods, but better than most scents in its market niche.

I can remember it just like today: it was March of 1981 I was 14 and buying my first cologne. Before that I had used Paco Rabanne which I have received from my parents, but this was going to be my own choice. At that I was lucky because the city where we were living had an American air force base so we had to chance to by an American cologne which was hard to find in Europe. I have to say that I had and I still have a very good nose. I was good at remebering the names of scents after smelling them once. I have been to special cosmetic shop where they had a lots of colognes. The guy showed me a lot of colognes, but most of them I already knew. The one that impressed me was Azzaro. I was already done, but I wanted to know how it would smell after acertain time. So I sprayed some on my wrist and went for a walk. I liked it very much and bought it the next day. One of the things that I can remeber is that the girls at school and in the neighbourhood were fond of this cologne. They used to come around me a smell me and go crazy. Wanted to know the name of it and most of them told it to their fathers or bought as a present to them or to their brothers. being as a scentiac I have lots of colognes and I still use and love this one. But I don't know what it is: now it smells a bit different to me than it did before. Is it because I was young at that time and had different feelings, does it have something to do with age or is there something changed with the scents. I still buy and use scents that I had to use before but some of them don't smell like they did before, or I don;t get the same feeling I got before. Who knows.

On the classic versus outdated debate, I believe it fits into classic. Definately not a "me too" fragrance. Yes, starts off citrusy/fourage but then matures into a base that is unique now b/c it is not oriental, not powdery, but fresh. The longetivity was above average but not outstanding. I usually burn through fourages and citrusy fragrance in minutes to 2 hours and this one lasted much more. Still between this and D&G, I think I would wear D&G more. I recommend this frag, may buy it if price is right :)

well, let me begin by sayin I am officialy back on to this site, after a long time and after a few review...through the many months my nose has acquired various aromas of the vast amount of fragrances available. I found Azzaro in my local Marshall, and needed to buy without testing. The luxury behind this label is haunting in the sense and way which by uncle described it to be, in Bangladesh!! Could you beleive that? in the 70's this was the stuff to wear apparently..I had to give it a try...I must say it slaps you right off guard with a burst of citrus and powerfull anise, and develops into a musky woody base. Its so warm yet fresh. I have received several compliments, a few asked if i came straight from the barbershop? It does have a barbershop type aroma somewhat like a great luxurious shaving cream...Very masculine very yet fresh in a unique way...Great with jeans a tshirt and black leather jacket.....

It's often bemoaned that there is nothing really new, that every creation has its antecedent(s) direct and/or otherwise, and that we must feverishly search the past like attention-deficit-plagued, meta-scavenger hunters to find modes of expression that would be deemed unique by our cultural contemporaries and help us to stand apart - be it for sex, money or just plain power.

I readily admit there's more than a little of me in that description, but there's no doubt that wearing Azzaro PH today makes a bold statement, likely much bolder than it may have upon its release nearly 30 years ago.

In a nutshell, it smells good and strong the whole way through without stumbling for even a fraction of a second, so secure in itself that it can incorporate near-nostril-burning freshness (damn I love that aniseed!) in the topnotes and even indulge a slight sweet side in the basenotes - while coming off as nothing less than polished and masculine.

Does recall Tuscany minus its citric impact, with a little added sweetness and freshness. Both are unquestionably great, but Azzaro PH DID come first. For inspiring that milestone alone, it's worth our respect.

If you like close-to-the-skin scents, this one ain't for you. And even if you do, what the hell - challenge your perceptions and get a bottle anyway. Even if it doesn't work for you, at least you'll have a great "reference scent" for comparison purposes. There's more than enough complexity in here to surprise anyone who thinks they've smelled it all before, and to keep the ones who actually have coming back for more.

Another positive review; a nurse came into the office today and said "What's that nice smell? Something smells very nice, Mmmm!". I like it as well. Masculine, distinctive but not overwhelming.

I first met Azzaro Pour Homme when I was flying with a brazilian Varig Boeing 747 from Rio to London. A little bottle of this scent, and Azzaro 9 for women made part of a travelling gift pack given to every passenger. Since I first smelled this brown bottled magic i can't forget it. It's probably the best fragrance in the world. I love the calming anised, musk notes of this EDT, i like the design of the bottle, the black-silver package... it's modern, however classic bold character which hasn't changed since 1978.

The proof is in the pudding with this one, folks. If you haven't tried it, get a small bottle -- it won't break the bank. Starts off fresh and clean (without attempting anything "aquatic" or "grapefruit-y" -- just brisk and clear), then works into a wonderful mix of spice and wood. Lasts a long, long time, too, but without overpowering. A definite power scent -- not for anyone who wants yet another mindless automaton from the Tommy milieu.

Damn good stuff.

Many modern men have been emasculated, and the conventional wisdom of the fragrance houses is to continue this fruity trend. Azzaro boldly goes where women want to follow. Great basenotes of Ambergris and Musk to prompt the sillage.

Azzaro is one of the truly great designer scents. Timeless—it is the epitome of classic fougeres. Its herbaceous / citrus / lavender opening accord has a clean, direct clarity—an elegantly tailored fresh and aromatic beginning. The heart notes emphasize the masculinity of the fragrance with its spices, conifers, and woodnotes. As dry as the notes read, they come off more ‘elegant’ than ‘dark.’ This fragrance is a gentleman, not a rogue. The base is especially rich with musk, oakmoss, and ambergris—solid and substantial, with the amber taking center stage. Azzaro is an elegant fragrance, but it is fresh enough to be worn comfortably in more casual circumstances. Handsome, refined, adaptable, fresh, and long lasting—it’s hard to beat.

An absolute classic!!

Its fresh, spicy, unique

If I were a perfume designer, THIS is the scent I would be most proud of

get it folks!! - (try it first of course)

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Lavender is a nervine with a slightly soporific effect perhaps it is this which creates the initially excited, then gladdened, then becalmed effect of this superb fragrance. The consequent mellowing of its dry down is the great success of this creation: it embues one with the calm sense of nothing to prove. Greatness is more than an appealing waft it is an attitude.

This was my first fragrance, in the mid-80s, so I have subjectiveley fond memories of it. Today I would consider it a total mismatch - can you picture a lankey, pomo-bespectacled academic wearing this 70s macho-man fragrance. Nope, Jil Sander was far the better match. This said, old brown-bottled Wizard of Az is a first-rate, classy cologne for the right kind of wearer - my uncle, solidly built, heavily mustachioed, cigar-puffing BMW-driver would make a perfect fit (but he prefers Cool Water, which however is perfectly in character as well). Strong, persistent, woody and musky, well-complemented by high quality tobacco. For the fortyish crowd, I would agree, and the perfect hair water - chest hair, that is.

Really a true classic, clean and confortable fragrance. One good 70's scent to home and work.

Molto macho! You need chesthair to pull this one off... and even if you don't have any, when you wear Azzaro everybody will think you have lots of it. The most "stereotypicaly" masculine cologne ever IMHO.

Classic, yet not dated.This is one of the scents i was first very reluctant about, yet ended up by liking it more than i ever expected to. Overtly powerful and lush the first impresson is rather heavy, but refined lavender and "green" notes turn it into a high-class experience. A true conservative
French classsic, thus almost exclusively for formal wear(either the office or the cocktail-party wear) great for men with rather old-school tastes but also a great alternative for the younger ones who want to try out something more of a basic. Not an allrounder, but a faithful,suitable companion during
distinguished social calls. Rich, dignified yet always subtle, as being constantly aware of its immense yet discreeten, non-violent force.

Very strong and classic, with a notorious lavender note and sweet amber base. Tends to be a bit known and dated... it's very used in the range 40+ years old, and a first choice for presents (father-son, wife-husband) and as a elegant events cologne. Less sensual but more mature than Carolina Herrera.

Fresh yet potent mix that is distinctive and classy. The anise dominates early, with the musk and ambergris coming in shortly thereafter. Can be worn to the office if used discretely, but best on a cool evening out. May not appeal to the younger set, but an essential classic for the more mature crowd.

This is one of those that when the young guys say "not for the younger crowd" you feel sorry for them. Very much a classic, I suppose very much of its time, but if I was still a young buck this would be the kind of thing I'd be looking for to set me apart from the crowd.

Abstract, dry and refreshing, cool and clean, minty elegance touched with lavender notes, a subdued song, utterly acceptable.

One of my absolute favourites. Unmistakably masculine. This is not for someone who wants subtlety. Its bold, brash but never offensive.

For me, Azzaro is the scent of the scents! The number one! If you're looking for a real man fragrance, this is the one. Old school, delicious, potent! A scent that is not afraid of projeting itself. Simply OUTSTANDING!

The Azzaro is special to me because it is one of the few fragrances left in the world that uses ambergris. This imparts a very dark, masculine feel to the scent and it absolutely blooms in the evening. I wouldn't bother with the Intense because it is basically the Azzaro without heart! A tin-man in search of a heart because the ambergris is missing. Very hard to find these days, ambergris, so what do you do, especially when you have legions of Azzaro fans out there. You stand to lose millions if you pull it off the shelves, so you create a so-called "Intense" version that doesn't have ambergris and "update" it with the latest in synthetic molecules for an intense burst in the topnotes and you sit and wait blissfully in the mistaken belief that you can wean the discerning masses from the original. Didn't happen and won't happen!!! They already tried it with Acteur.

Dated? DATED?? Well, not in Europe it isn't! This goes back to a time when scents were supposed to last and project. Today, scents tend to stay close to the skin which generally defeats the purpose of wearing scents in the first place. A difference in concept definitely, but you can certainly wear it with confidence in the evening, beneath your clothes, in summer even. Besides, what does dated smell like? Old cellar stench? Messe de Minuit is selling very well! Old leathery circus smell? Dzing is also doing fine. To me, Purple Label is the epitome of datedness and it was released last year!

At least, get a very small bottle, just so you can experience the magic of ambergris once in awhile.

Lovely-could swear it has some mint in the top notes though
/matt

Excellent timeless classic! Lavender and some cold flowers (a bit "medical"). Then woody with spices and musky-ambery in the base. Develops into Perfect all year round office fragrance. Does not need any recomendations. Just try not to overdo it.

Spicy-fresh combination of musk, lavender, geranium, vetiver and sandalwood. Distinctive and gentlemanly scent that leaves the impression of something strict, conservative and pragmatic. One of the men's classics from the moment of release (1978). People say that in Italy Azzaro Pour Homme is still the MOST popular men's cologne. No wonder it's in Top 10 Best Male Fragrances Ever (GQ UK, May 2002). For those who like this fragrance, but wish it has a modern twist, check out the new Angel Schlesser Pour Homme, basically it's the same scent, with some watery notes thrown in.

"Classics are forever" and Azzoro falls under this category. I have already used 2 bottles but still some time think of the 3rd one.
