Warm but cooling, light but heavy. Smells like woods. Not forest green woods, but burning campfire woods. Citrus smells like sweet candy. Reminds me of the gummy orange candies shaped like an...

It's a LOVELY fragrance, Really feminine and sexy. There is just one letdown: it's rather plain. I get mostly vanilla throughout. And it ends up smelling like a (gorgeous) body splash. Would I...
Only 2 words to describe this one: Timeless fragrance. It never gets old. It's classic and elegant yet modern. sweet, floral, warm and rich, without being overpowering. One of Guerlain's best....
It's a very lovely and sexy fragrance. But the key is not to overdo it. It's a very strong and sweet scent that will fill up a room when you walk in. Just the perfect amount of sprays can make a...
I haven't tried this one yet but plan to this summer. I will say that I've been impressed by the quality of those in the TF lineup that I have tried thus far.
I love TFPB's as much as anyone on the forum, but I personally wasn't a fan of this one. It turned into almost an aquatic on my skin after what I considered an incredibly promising opening. The lime and most of the essence of this fragrance fade after the first minutes to my nose.
I'm a big fan of Tom Ford but, I found Azure Lime to be highly disappointing. The opening is quite nice although, it doesn't last longer than 30 min and progresses into a tart musky woody scents with a subtle floral background. Altogether, it was boring and not that long lasting. Hardly worth the price they're asking for and relatively boring as well.

Azure Lime started off with opening notes of lime, orange and a little mint. It was very nice but unfortunately the excitement didn’t last and the fragrances ended up being a little bland in my opinion.
Of the ones I've tried, West Indian Lime, Nouveau Bowery, Extract of Limes, Sweet Lime and Cedar and Virgin Island Water (though lime is not the most prominent note)

I also think AL is quite good. Comparing it with other (dissimilar) frags form the TFPBs does not help matters, analysis-wise though. I do not have any longevity issues with it, and never expected the lime note to last so long, so i am not disappointed because i also like the woody, white musk base.
I agree with OP, excellent lime fragrance. Longevity can be disappointing if ya don't figure out what does it justice. After having gone through many many samples of this, it works very well with 2 sprays to the chest (on clothing) and one to the back of the neck. And even one on each wrist if you'd like. This will last a good 8 hours or so. The top notes stick to the clothing and blend with the base notes that were sprayed on the skin, the base notes of an already rather linear fragrance.. The result.. prolonged longevity.
Gap: The Natural, is easily the longest lasting lime based fragrance I've tried, but when comparing the quality of the limes, Azuree wins by a landslide.
Absolutely beautiful scent. Could possibly be a little stronger, but I still love it.
Yeah, I think it's hugely underrated too. If it wasn't by Tom Ford, some people in here would be drooling all over it.
I agree, and I would call it as well a "beautiful" scent rather than a "great" one. I think the underrated bit comes because of the price, which is honestly absurd, considering that it does not really stand out from the rest of the Private Blends. Yet, very pleasant scent, although Jo Malone's Sweet Lime and Cedar has got a very similar opening and pretty much same projection.
Did you try it? It's not bad at all...
Azure lime's longevity is deceptive because it can seem to last for only 30 minutes or so but it in fact lasts all day. Something about the musk may block our olfactory receptors but I've have others compliment me after 8 hours of wearing it and I could not detect it.
Truefitt & Hill's West Indian Limes
Trumper's Extract of West Indian Limes
Creed Virgin Island Water
St. John's Bay Rum with Lime
Penhaligon's Extract of Limes
Even Floris' awful Lime is preferrable.
Pretty much any Lime fragrance I've tried I was more pleased with than Ford's effort.
Tom Ford's Azure Lime is really NOT a lime fragrance in the way that both "Lime" montale's aren't either.

I kind of agree. The lime takes a back seat after an hour or so and then this gorgeous sheer musk takes over. That's what I love about this one more than anything. I don't want a strictly lime smell. The musk in this one, mixed with the lime, is what does it for me.
