Descripción
Azzaro pour Homme by Azzaro is an aromatic fougère fragrance for men. Launched in 1978, this composition was created by Gérard Anthony and Richard Wirtz. Its top notes of lavender, lemon, caraway, basil, bergamot, helichrysum, iris, and star anise give way to a heart of vetiver, cedar, sandalwood, patchouli, juniper berries, and cardamom. The trail settles on a base of oakmoss, leather, amber, musk, and tonka bean.

With a white shirt it radiates elegance and neatness… a perfume that will never go out of fashion if you’re already tired of all the new men’s fragrances that ultimately follow the same sweet and unisex pattern released nowadays… you can always resort to the old and reliable Azzaro Pour Homme.
This perfume has history, super-masculine. Its opening doesn’t smell old school, it feels very pleasant; only in the middle and base notes do you perceive the vintage style. The interesting thing is that it doesn’t follow the typical moss-wood line of the Paco Rabanne Pour Homme, Bogart or Quorum style, but rather approaches the Opium Pour Homme style, perhaps because both share that spiced opening with anise, woody notes and an almost animalic base sensation that in the Azzaro is surely given by the musk and leather. It’s to project maturity and masculinity, I see it between casual and semi-formal. I find it excellent for meetings or casual outings with friends; it can serve for a romantic date provided we evaluate the age and tastes of our companion, as it’s not a perfume someone under 25 would use habitually. Ergo, if you’re this age and like Old School perfumes, you might not get many compliments in that range, which doesn’t mean it won’t pass. If you’re interested in having it for your collection, it’s not a perfume you’ll hate, on the contrary, it’s very usable.
It’s a classic that also smells like a classic. I have no problem with vintage perfumes, I even use one myself, but this one seems too vintage. Certainly very masculine and intense. I’ve seen comments saying it’s for men over 30; I’d rather say over 50. I’m 40 and I wouldn’t wear it under any circumstances.
What a glorious opening Azzaro Pour Homme has! Yes, there’s anise, but it’s the floral notes and lavender (so well supported by some background citrus) that elevate it at the start. The development is rich in nuances, always in the herbaceous realm. The base is soapy, mossy and very pleasant. It’s masculine, elegant, clean and not very suited to feeding appearances of virility. It’s serious, for serious people and very appropriate for men who don’t need accessories to dress up as sexual machines, as that doesn’t interest them. Indeed, it’s Old School but perfectly wearable. Longevity and projection are moderate. Possibly it’s not very good in informal settings, but I believe that depends more on the personality of the wearer. I borrow words from another review: ‘It’s not a fragrance for all people nor for all intellects’.
A perfume is a perfume and its circumstances. Now I’m wearing Azzaro: Santander, night, I’m 39 and it’s cold. I’m delighted with the waves of compliments I receive from time to time, and I’ve had two very positive opinions from women in their twenties within less than two hours. Well, perhaps with a Dandy Man or a Brumel it wouldn’t be so bad. But everything has its moment and life has infinite different moments; not everything is night, day, heat or cold. It’s an art to compose a perfume, but also to interpret when to wear it. Amber… what a delight.
One of my favourites: woody, well-masculine, a classic that never goes out of fashion. I bought one that comes with deodorant, quite economical and recommended; it doesn’t smell old, it’s a timeless classic.
To me, it smells very similar to Polo Green, earthy, mossy and high-school green. With the Ralph Lauren one, I received compliments from people not so young, I imagine because blue little perfumes are in fashion nowadays. I loved Azzaro.
For me it’s similar to Polo Green, earthy and mossy, high-school style; I love it even though it’s an outdated style.
I liked it, though it didn’t surprise me, as I already own others with that vibe, such as Jacques Bogart Signature (the fountain pen one). I bought 30ml because the price in Argentina is high for what it offers. On one forearm I applied Azzaro Pour Homme and on the other JB; they lasted equally long. Azzaro smells more aromatic, JB drier, leathery and astringent; I prefer JB. It’s a pub perfume, masculine but not elegant. It reminded me of my teenage years’ martial arts and Italian adventure films: overstuffed leather armchairs, no ventilation, a smell of confinement. Times that will never return. I don’t see it as versatile for the office or dates; perhaps for a semi-formal night out. I bought it out of curiosity to have a fougère reference. I wouldn’t buy 100ml nowadays due to the price in Argentina; I’d go for JB instead. Longevity and projection are moderate, around six hours. It’s not a blind buy or a signature scent, but if asked if I’d dare wear it as such, I’d say yes, as it suits my anachronistic character for the times.
Practicality: it smells classic, old-school barbershop style, ideal for autumn or mild winter and daily wear at work. The issue is that after reformulation, they’ve ruined it; it went from being a wolf to a lamb in terms of longevity. Still, the essence remains the same.
Shameful what they have done with this rich fragrance… Shameful! The scent is rich. Pity it does not last anything, nothing! Anise comes out, which I quite like, and lavender that follows until its dry down with soap and very clean; I see it as very versatile. But regarding longevity and projection, it is a pity. Batch from 2019, never buy this one.
After coveting it since I was a child, I would steal a few drops from my father’s vintage 10ml bottle; I would spray them on my arm and sometimes think I did not like it, it was repulsive, but I definitely ended up becoming addicted automatically, almost instinctively… Finally, it is back with me. I have a bottle from 2012 that cannot be opened to refill. The effect is feeling like 20 years ago; when I sprayed it again on my hand, it was like returning to that childhood era, I remembered it intact and that I loved now at 30 years old. Very masculine, mysterious, clean, and above all timeless aroma. I am amazed to read that this work of art has over 300 ingredients perfectly mixed to give a unique and synergistic set that provokes nostalgia in me like a time machine. It has a small nuance that reminds me of Old Spice, but definitely on its own path. I do not want to describe it with notes, I just want to enjoy it and let it take me to those nostalgias and more than that make me feel incredibly masculine and beautiful, which is why I love perfumery. I feel this review deserves more from me, but I settle for saying it has great value in my collection. Azzaro, eternal love…
Azzaro Pour Homme 2022. The good and the bad. The good: I tried it in a trusted perfumerie with two sprays on each hand; the scent is exquisite, addictive, and I believe it is one of the best vintage fragrances still in production. The bad: after two hours the scent disappears, I have to press my nose to my hand to barely distinguish it. There are fragrances that are worth much less and last longer, I mean the pharmacy ones for 5 or 10 dollars… Is it worth buying? Only if you are a collector (like me) to know how a fragrance from the 70s and 80s smells. I recommend buying the 30ml, the smaller bottle. For other uses, it does not serve.
A barber-shop scent, clean and fresh; I liked it more than the typical Old Spice and would truly use it in certain occasions. I wear it for meetings with friends (I am the oldest in the group, haha) because with this classic that smells a bit old-fashioned, you will not enchant the women.
A timeless fragrance, only for those who understand perfume.
At 29 years old, I like this fragrance after trying it a few months ago. It smells clean, elegant, and like a barber shop; the combination of anise and lavender is great and the scent evolves pleasantly. Azzaro Pour Homme is for real men.
A Hall of Fame classic. It is not similar but reminds me of the Jaques Bogat (JB, OMS). It smells clean, soapy, and fresh; I would use it more in summer. Longevity and projection are correct. I would not repeat it.
I am reviewing this more than a year after trying it. I knew it from a video by a famous reviewer who later had a scandal, but setting that aside, this is its evolution. It is a fougere aromatic with a bright opening of lavender, citrus, and herbs, very clean. It then dries down to woods, earthy notes, leather, anise (not caraway or star anise), and a relevant amber that softens everything. Ideal for intermediate and warm seasons, it serves for everything. It gives masculinity and presence with cleanliness and refinement. It can be associated with past eras and a certain age, but it is a man’s perfume straight up, nothing feminine. Perhaps if Napoleon or Catherine had conquered the world, the feminine side would have been closer to that brute force and authority, but it is not like that. Modern longevity and projection leave much to be desired, although a clone, dupe, or vintage works well. A good copy projects a lot and is noticeable from a distance. Body odour, masculine notes, or tobacco smoke or new leather improve it. They say the 2022 formula has more power and longevity; we shall see. It was one of the worst reformulations along with Drakkar Noir and Polo Green, but I hope they have returned the sillage. If you are young and it comes into your hands, enjoy it and learn to love it for the affection of its creators. If you are older, you will like it more. Wear it with pride and appropriate attire: nothing of modern clothing like joggers or nylon bombers, but classic suits, leather jackets, shirts, flannels, denim, and formal shoes. You will not look older if you wear it with confidence; if there is weakness, be careful. It is not unpleasant at all. It lacks animal notes and its timeless barber-shop scent pleases everyone. Good price, worth paying retail, although the 200ml costs less than 50 USD and the 400ml around 70. That bottle would last you 5 years with 10 sprays daily or 10 if you make it last. Best regards, masters.
A gem of perfumery and a memory I long for. It set the trend in the nineties with a subtle personality: lavender that gives cleanliness and freshness, plus elegant vetiver. The perfect combination for a versatile fragrance. Recommended for the nostalgic.
Azzaro Pour Homme is a legacy from my father that I inherited and have enjoyed since I was young in 1982. I still crave that exquisite lavender opening, followed by the delicious vetiver that lasts all day. Finally, powdery notes of talc and soap make it feel impeccable. It is a masculine and elegant lotion perfect for work, family, and friends. Although its trail and longevity are moderate compared to the past, the scent remains tasty for those who love it.
I was eager to try this classic. A bookish fougère with a delightful dry-down that smells soapy and, to be fair, old. Once I hit forty, I’ll get it as my workhorse.
At 23, I don’t see this as a perfume for old people, as many reviews say. It’s not a modern, sweet and easy perfume; it has its own character and doesn’t feel outdated. I smelled it yesterday and thought it might be like Antaeus or Eau Sauvage, but it’s nothing like that; it’s a timeless masculine fragrance, a jewel. I already ordered mine with excitement because when I smelled it, I said it would be my signature. It’s masculine, elegant and feels youthful compared to most of my niche perfumes. This isn’t going down the path of current perfumery, which is redundant; almost all commercial brands want something simple, sweet and pleasant, or cloying. They’re not bad, but it’s boring finding the same thing, almost always a soft or brash fruity scent. I’ll say again they’re not bad, but it’s predictable. I feel like I’m more into old-fashioned tastes, who knows, but it’s some of the richest I’ve tried. I encourage people my age to try it; don’t let comments say it’s not for young people; the worst is if you don’t like it, but I think most will. If you’re young and want to stand out, try it; it depends on your personality, but it’s exquisite.
It’s my favourite; I’ve been wearing it for years. It’s true that it doesn’t last as long since they reformulated it, but I really like it.
I remember it as a bomb of longevity and majestic elegance, but as always, they’ve ruined it with their shit reformulations. I was gifted it and I have an old vial that retains its potency and beauty, unlike this new thing which can no longer be called a perfume. It has a majestic richness and impeccable elegance; you can feel the vetiver, lavender, basil, patchouli, star anise and a rough leather that gives it authenticity. In the end, the sandalwood, tonka bean and amber give a delicious sweetness. This opinion is about the old version, before the disaster. The current one smells the same but worse and lasts less. Still, I’ll enjoy it, but it’s a damn shame they ruin such fine works of art. It reminds me of Puig’s Agua Brava or Herrera For Men. Anyway, we don’t win anything by throwing a tantrum.
Sexy, masculine, timeless, accessible and with good longevity. What more could you ask of this fragrance?
It was my first perfume, but it wasn’t for my age. Very formal and nocturnal, smelling of incense and sweetness.
One of the best toilet waters you can buy. Formal, sophisticated and with a strong woody and leather scent. Despite being an EDT, it’s one of my favourites.
Sober, elegant and timeless.
Perfume for men; children should refrain.
The shop assistant said it smelled ‘classic’, or rather, old person, and she was right. The perfume is good, but it’s for over 70s if that’s what you’re looking for. Don’t buy it blindly just because YouTubers say it’s a classic.
This was one of the first vintage scents to enter my collection; I don’t understand why I didn’t review it sooner. It marked a before and after. It launched in 1978, created by Gérard Anthony, who also did Balenciaga Pour Homme. APH is the non plus ultra of aromatic fougères. The opening is iconic: anise and lavender at full volume, with bright sage and citrus. It is intense, bitter, acidic, and almost medicinal. When the intensity drops, it enters barbershop territory: oakmoss, sandalwood, and coumarin; imagine shaving foam and hot towels. This takes me back to the 90s when my dad took us to the sports club on weekends, passing through the changing rooms with gentlemen getting into the sauna and grooming themselves. It is the masculinity model of the ‘tough guy who dresses well’. The liquid is spiced, musky, dry, and invigorating. It has strength but without going overboard like the 80s powerhouses. It is always discreet, though a bit rough, and that roughness is part of the charm. It is for a man who smells good and has things to do. Simple and effective, hard to find a better way to kick off the week. Regarding the reformulation: what they sell now is cheap and not bad, but it retains little of the original. It is a watered-down and ‘castrated’ version. I say this with knowledge because I have both. Fortunately, the vintage version can still be found at a good price. If you like this sort of thing, do yourself a favour and get a bottle.
The opening is potent; you can smell the anise and lavender clearly with a slight sweetness, and there are sparkling citrus notes that fade quickly. Then the moss and resinous woods appear. It smells vintage, typical of cologne, giving a sense of cleanliness and elegance. You can perceive tanned leather and amber; it is a complex fragrance far from current trends. It is undeniable that it is a classic; since I can remember, my father has used it and it remains relevant. The performance is good; it lasts several hours on the skin with moderate trail for the first two hours.
It’s a great perfume, but it literally smells old. For men over 70, it is very in tune with the colour of the bottle, like old Spanish crockery.
The age of this Azzaro is a virtue, not an expiration date. To those young people who don’t enjoy it, I say give time to time and broaden your horizons. You miss out greatly if you stick to modern, sugary scents. When I tried it in my twenties, I thought it was too intense for me, but perfect for my older self. Now in my thirties, I love it and feel ready for it. It is classic, aromatic, with a barbershop aura and animal touches that make it sensual, featuring a balanced anise between herbs, woods, and leather. It is a beauty. If they reformulated it, it must have been a beast, because now it lasts and projects well. It is super versatile for the office, parties, or dates. I have fallen in love. To those who haven’t tried it, I recommend giving it a go. Young people, one day you will be old and see that the beauty of this art is not measured in years.
It brings me nostalgia as it accompanied me through all my youth. I don’t think it’s the best, nor would I get it again, but the opening is good. It is rich, elegant, and versatile for any age, although they exaggerate when saying it’s only for mature people. For the price, it’s decent; I give it 3.5/5. The downside is that it fades quickly and that elegance is lost, which is a pity.
It isn’t quite as dense or decadent as Kouros, but it fits perfectly. It’s pleasant, a classic you can find in any pharmacy without knowing much about perfumes. How many times has this been gifted to a young man, thinking it would be a hit. But if you’re looking for something vintage, it’s a total success.
In Azzaro Pour Homme, I detect amber, anise, leather, and vetiver, with hints of mint and eucalyptus like in Agua Brava, and I think even aldehydes like in Benetton Cold. I have a 2022 batch and it smells classic yet excellent. Smelling old is vanity; what matters is the composition, and this is a masterpiece with over 100 notes. It’s super masculine, perfect for an unbuttoned shirt, driving a convertible, or having cocktails on the beach to classic rock. It evokes childhood memories and past lives.
It’s a delightful fragrance; I absolutely love the scent.
These days, vintage scents are valued less because many people didn’t live through the 70s and 80s, so they don’t understand the potency and longevity of those perfumes. It’s a shame they reformulate them. For those who wore them before, it’s a time-travel journey back to their youth. Now they’re back in fashion; even 90s classics are sought after. As long as there are so many flankers and cheap copies, the vintage ones will remain the best.
Smells like freshly washed skin with pink soap, super clean and fresh. It’s pure vintage masculinity, like Rocky Balboa sweating or Bryan Ferry in the 80s. It has no middle ground; it’s all or nothing. It’s the most versatile fragrance out there, suitable for any occasion.
