Verte by Azha Perfumes

Leaving a review to clarify a bit, this perfume leans more towards the style of Prada L’Homme, as if Prada decided to make a “green” version of that line. It’s fresh from cypress (lemon pine) then settles clean/powdery (iris/violet) and in the dry-down you get light leather and grey amber. Vanilla and sandalwood are very minimal. Don’t get confused, it has iris but it’s light, nothing like Dior Homme Parfum. It leans more towards Prada L’Homme. It has a “bubblegum” touch but like mint/spearmint chewing gum (only in the opening), I understand that if you’ve tried few perfumes the opening might make you think of Phantom-type perfumes, but actually nothing to do with it, it would be more like a “green Invictus” but that feeling lasts only about 5 minutes, it quickly evolves to clean/violet/powdery and moves away from youthful fragrances. Consider it if you want a green fragrance that doesn’t smell vintage or grandpa-like, despite the sweetness from violet it’s not very youthful, I’d say 25+, for casual/revitalising wear and that reflects cleanliness. In weather where you can tolerate an Invictus you can wear this one too.

My experience, first test of the perfume and my girlfriend tells me it smells of chewing gum, of course there’s the reminiscence of Phantom by Paco Rabanne at the start, but this is greener and more animalic, I feel it resembles one of the Valentino Uomo Born in Roma, a fairly youthful perfume, the iris here is more luminous, somewhat like the 2025 Dior Homme Parfum to be clear, a very recommendable perfume for its price and quality.

Woody and powdery fragrance… slightly sweet in the base with iris and leather somewhat noticeable. I think it is perfect for cool days and nights. I just would not wear it on hot days. The price-quality ratio is excellent. It is not amazing in terms of performance, but it will stay with you well when you wear it. Score: 7.0/10

My first projection on skin was like mixing 50% Dior Homme Intense and another 50% dark green notes, cypress, cardamom, violets and sandalwood. I could agree with those who compare it as half 50% P.R. Phantom and 50% Dior Homme Intense, and it will surely smell more or less like that… and note: I applied it in the morning and now at 23h the scent is still present on my arm so it is really good!

The projection on skin is a 50% blend of Dior Homme Intense with another 50% of dark green notes: cypress, cardamom, violets, and sandalwood. Some say it’s half Paco Rabanne Phantom and half Dior Homme Intense, and yes, it smells roughly like that. I wore it in the morning and at 11 pm it was still on my arm, so it’s excellent.

First try and my girlfriend says it smells like chewing gum. Naturally, at first it recalls Paco Rabanne Phantom, but this is greener and more animalic. It reminds me of Valentino Uomo Born in Roma, a youthful fragrance. The iris here is brighter, akin to Dior Homme Parfum 2025. Highly recommended for price and quality.

It’s a woody, talc-scented fragrance, slightly sweet at the base, with noticeable iris and leather notes. It’s perfect for fresh days and evenings, but not for heat. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent. It’s not a miracle in terms of longevity, but it accompanies you well when you wear it. Rating: 7.0/10.
