azzaro pour homme

At the bay in case of doubt.
Goin so cheaply I cant imagine them faking it, we have creeds and all that for this purpose

Na, i got you alright,I just meant that I think the bay is a safe place to buy it since i dont think there are many fakes of this lower budgt gem and you should be able to pick up some old juice there.
I E vintage M7 keeps popping up here every once and again even thugh it's been out of the stores for quite a while now. It's where i got my M7.
Thanks for the heads up though, Azarro PH is one of those that I have been postponing over and over again so maybe I should go ahead quickly, too...

ebay, at least that's how I interpreted this piece of BNterminology
sorry,a missing e is a really silly reason for confusions..

ebay.com

Discounters such as Ross, Marshalls & TJ Maxx always have plenty of the older bottles in stock.

I smelled the newer formulation for the first time today in Ulta. I didn't even know it had been "reinterpreted" and found out quite by surprise upon sniffing the testing strip. I much prefer the original.

Sir, there has been no change in formula. Actually, you are talking about the new Azzaro pour Homme Elixir which has been discussed here, here and here.

I have a new, huge vintage 250ml bottle listed for sale here on BN.

It hasn't become an "amber-oriental" like the blurb you quoted; that's regarding the Elixir. Azzaro PH is an aromatic fougére through and through, and essentially the same fragrance it was in 1978 minus some strength and lasting power (according to those familiar with the original version). It hasn't been reformulated or "reinterpreted" into an oriental with a completely different structure.

I finally got to smell the New Azzaro PH Elixer. I like it but it is an entirely different Frag from the original Azzaro PH, Which is in My opinion the best Aromatic Fougere ever

I thought he was referring The Bay, a big Canadian department store retailer.

i have both old and new. the old one feels richer and has more longevity and sillage when tested simultaneously with new. overall, they both smell nearly identical.. just the difference of richness.

Your mind is tricking your nose. They smell identical minus sillage/longevity, the same is the case with M7

I'm a pretty hardcore Azzaro Pour Homme fan, and I own both vintage and current versions of the stuff. There's almost no significant difference between the two, trust me. The only difference I smell is that the old version has stronger, more leathery top notes. After those fade off, who cares? If you can find a bottle of the old juice for cheap, go for it. Otherwise, I'd say don't waste your time.

Could it be the limited edition precious woods edition of PH which was released recently? Azzaro did limited precious woods versions of PH, PH Exiler, and Chrome which are all reformulated. I haven't seen descriptions on basenotes but they are on fragrantica here http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/A...eux-10729.html. That said, I would agree that it sounds more like the Elixer based on this description: http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/A...eux-10730.html

Haha yeah it's not viable to fake

The reformulated version is a sillage bomb on me, longevity is 10+ hours, I dare not think how the old version would ˝reek˝ on my skin.

Hi everybody,

Got a question.

After testing some Azzaro Pour Homme from a store, I was excited about it. Great smell. So after a while, I bought a bottle. But when I first sprayed it on, after about 20 seconds, this enormous unexpected scent popped-up and I really didnt like it.
Completely confused I started searching here and bumped into this review which claims that the scent had been reformulated. I concluded I had tested the old one, and, three weeks later, had bought the new one.

So, taking the abovementioned advice, I started searching Ebay for a bottle that looked like the pré-reformulation bottle. And I found myself a nice one (EdT naturally). I paid attention to a lot of things. Among which: the picture, not being some picture taken from the internet, but one that looked like a picture of the actual bottle on sale.
To keep it short: after receiving my bottle, I sprayed it on my wrist and it smelled very nice. After a couple of minutes, though, about 95 percent of the scent had completely disappeared. And that last 5 percent didnt last a lifetime either
I didnt like that.
Seller claims its the original stuff. (And suggested that the After Shave would last much longer then the EdT. Yeah, right, thanks.) Based on what I read here, I have serious doubts. It is supposed to have great longevity. I might be spoiled with my Kouros and Egoïste, but a few minutes is really out of line.

Now the question: that spray-thing on top of the bottle; does that look original to you?

My first post. Always like reading around here.

Cheers.

It's real. Where are you spraying it?

My wrist.
Starting to worry about my nose now...

The wrists are not the best place to judge the longevity of a fragrance. Try spraying to the chest and neck and see how you fair.

My bottle of Azzaro pH does not have the label yours is showing, the A is embossed, glass standing out in relief the surface of the glass wall of the bottle itself. Maybe yours is not the original but the reformulated one.

Wait until tomorrow morning and spray it on all over, as your scent of the day. I'll bet you see a huge difference in sillage and longevity. You can't properly judge Azzaro by sniffing it just on your wrist. It smells weak and boring that way. You need to wear it. Trust me on this.

I had the glass A and now I have the white and black sticker version (the bottom of the bottle has no sticker, but the glass is embossed with something like the following: Azzaro Made in France 100 ml 3.4 ounces. I agree with santino that the old one smells just a bit richer, and I'd also add that the newer one seemed to have a slight metallic tinge.
