The Most Wanted by Azzaro

This perfume is rich, with a caramel note that really stands out in cold weather or at night. It has good projection, so be careful with the sprays, and it’s very seductive. If you’re looking for that purposeful vibe as a teenager, it’s an excellent choice, but for adults, I recommend the Parfum version, which is more masculine.

2026 reformulated review: not worth it. It’s very similar to Born in Roma Extradose, with prominent cardamom throughout and no detectable caramel, which is noticeable in SWYI. This is spiced, woody cardamom, just like Extradose.

The atomiser is a disaster, but who cares when you become a magnet for compliments?

9/10. Some perfumes don’t need to shout; others are compliments bombs and last longer. This version of Most Wanted might not please many due to its obvious sweetness with cardamom, ideal for casual or festive night outs. Personally, it’s one of my favourites; among the Most Wanted versions, it has more originality and versatility. I wore it in the sun with non-hot weather; it’s not annoying, but it’s for close-range night wear, for people within 1-2 metres. I’m a 27-year-old pianist playing in an elegant venue where people are close. I received many compliments from women over 30, asking what perfume it was and how I looked. After an hour, it lasted 6-7 hours. For the price, it’s worth it. Are there better options? Yes, but I’ve loved its performance. It’s my third bottle in 2 years. For personal use, night work, partner encounters, and sex, it does its job.

Writing this review while wearing it on my hand and after days of use in the cold in Mexico City, the perfect moment to test it before the intense heat hits. It opens with spicy, sensual cardamom that invites you to get closer. It evolves (though not advertised) into a soapy lavender that wraps around a slightly less caramelised, lactonic toffee. It sweetens until it becomes a perfectly balanced caramel fragrance: it doesn’t smell like pancakes, but rather a sweet, spiced, clean blend. Works for the office, dates, and lockdowns. It doesn’t saturate or stick like the sugary disasters in the perfume world. Only avoid using it in extreme heat, but it works in the sun. Its weak point: it doesn’t project or fill rooms; it’s personal and invites closeness. If you want people to smell you from metres away, buy Kamrah or something scandalous. I believe warm scents should be subtle; if it were more potent, it would be unusable. I put it on at 9 am and was still getting hits at 9 pm. Summary: balanced, not overwhelming, moderately versatile, low projection but lasts a long time, smells spicy, sweet, and clean, very sensual, ideal for a black shirt, well-dressed, and ready to breed your she-wolf.

A friend gave it to me and I owe him my life; the man has good taste. For cold weather, it’s the bread and butter; in heat, it can be a bit overwhelming. It smells sweet but not cloying, elegant and reassuring. Pure delight.

There’s a bit of a fuss about it; it’s a good perfume but not overhyped. The best thing is the price and that it’s always on offer. It starts spicy then moves to something sweet, like a milk candy, not vanilla. It lasts over 6 hours on clothes. The projection is strong for the first two hours; if I get close to someone and they ask what I’m wearing, it’s because it smells good. It’s versatile for daily wear if it’s not extremely hot, ideal for fresh or mildly sunny weather. I’d rate it 8/10, and above all, repeat: the price is accessible; if it went up, I’d drop it to 6.

It’s quite different from Halloween Man X.

Great brand perfume at a fair price. Longevity and projection aren’t the best, but the scent is a marvel. Ideal for dates or intimate events. Worth it.

Incredible, I was surprised. I never like spicy or sweet fragrances; I thought I wouldn’t like it because it reminded me of STWY, but what a mistake. This perfume is incredible, it has a fresh touch and doesn’t overwhelm with sweetness. It is bold and sexy. I would wear it on dates or special occasions.

I bought it in 2023 and it was my second purchase that made me fall in love with perfumes. My first was Invictus by Paco Rabanne; I loved its youthful freshness, but with The Most Wanted by Azzaro, a new taste was born in my perfume world. I now have 10 perfumes, including Erba Pura, Le Male Elixir and Scandal Absolu, and I must admit that Azzaro The Most Wanted is different. Upon application, it smells of very marked cardamomo, almost gourmand, blending with toffee/caramel on the skin. Then you detect amber, woods and an undeclared vanilla that gives it body. It is a dark, enchanting perfume for those who smell it. It is for evening wear, in winter or cold autumn. It is not as party-focused, but rather elegant, for standing out with a dark, winning aura. It is the one that gives me the most compliments. Although I prefer sweets, this stands out for its darkness, reflected in both the scent and the bottle. I bought 50ml and after 700 days, 30ml remain. At first, I used it for any outing, but with the compliments, I realised it is special, for moments where you want to captivate. It is delicious; people want to be near you and embrace you. I don’t know many who own it; in fact, when I wear it, I don’t say which one it is so my circle doesn’t have it. If you read this, BUY IT. It lasts just enough for a date or event; it is not a beast mode for mixing in crowds, it is intimate and seductive. As Ruben 21 said: it is used with intention and marks its target like a bullet. Rating: 10/10. The only one in my collection I would buy again.

I’m not entirely fond of it… I’ll try it a few more times to see how it goes.

To the great connoisseurs of Azzaro The Most Wanted, what differences do you find with the Parfum version (which is rich) or the new Elixir?

I have spent the most beautiful hours of my life with this fragrance. As the name says: ‘INTENSE’. Large bottle and concentrated, sweet and masculine aroma. Suitable and ideal for night situations where you want to be noticed and impose your presence. As a singer, I recognise my intention not to go unnoticed at events and concerts. It has given me much success; I have not met anyone who dislikes it, it is a 10/10. It is a perfume I plan to use for a long time; I love it and it fascinates me. When it runs out, I will buy it again, hoping the reformulations are kind. Please, do not buy it; I don’t want anyone to smell like me. Put something else on!

Love at first sniff. Smells delicious, lasts over 8 hours, and has an incredible trail. I loved it, 10/10.
