Wanted by Azzaro

Finally bought my first Azzaro Wanted EDT. It’s spiced with an apple that drives the fragrance, with a touch of ginger that makes it sparkly; it’s a scent that’s a joy to wear. I bought it at 19 and expected something more youthful, but for 25+, it’s your perfect signature: serious, without excessive sweetness. As an EDT, it lasts about 6-7 hours, projects for 1.5 hours, then sits close to the skin, ideal for indoors. Versatile for the day, avoid it at night due to lack of weight. If you have to choose between this and Wanted by Night, go for the Night version; it’s more modern and enjoyable. Thanks for reading.

I like that it smells clean and warm at the same time. I wear it day and night, it lasts quite a while, about 8-9 hours. If you are very active daily, it will suit you excellently. I’ll continue to wear it on days with lots of movement to feel fresh all the time.

I didn’t like it… I feel it’s for people over 40.

Impressive, it’s the longest-lasting of the whole line and smells great: fresh, apple, spectacular. The best of the whole Azzaro line.

I ordered Azzaro The Most Wanted Intense and this arrived, but I didn’t return it: it smells deliciously fresh. You press the head and a bunch of fruits comes out, not too sweet, with acidity of apple, melon, strawberry or watermelon. The cardamom and ginger create a hypnotic dance, so perfect with that mint that they create a clean and natural ensemble, not synthetic like the ambroxan. Then comes the amber and vanilla to give depth, a vanilla identical to SWY. This is neither the fire nor the wheel, but a fragrance as it should be: natural, balanced and with personality. Wear it during the day, because this is like the rays of the sun.

Many people say it has nothing to do with Invictus, but for me, who haven’t worn it for three years, it sounds exactly the same. I tried it yesterday and my partner said, ‘That’s Invictus!’, and they were right. If you smell both together you’ll spot the differences, but to the average person walking down the street, you’ll come across as wearing Invictus.

Azzaro Wanted is undervalued and overshadowed by The Most Wanted. It’s a good fragrance that reminds me of Invictus’s DNA, with that sweet, gum-like sensation that makes it youthful, pleasant, and easy to wear. It’s not a clone, but certainly inspired by it. The opening is fresh and citrusy, sharp with lemon and ginger that initially overpower the lavender and mint. The apple note doesn’t smell the same as in other perfumes; combined with cardamom and tonka bean, it delivers that characteristic gum-like sweetness. It’s very informal, ideal for going out with friends, dining, or weekends. I don’t think it’s ideal for work as it can strip away formality. It suits spring and autumn for any time of day, but in summer or at the beach, the sweetness might not be appropriate; in those cases, I’d reserve it for evening or late afternoon. Given the price, quality, and performance, I would buy it again without hesitation to have a fragrance that, without thinking twice, you apply to smell good.

Slightly influenced by the saying ‘don’t wear sweet-based perfumes in summer’, I’ve barely worn it in the heat, but I’ve noticed it really shines on mild summer evenings and nights. It’s a perfume made to please. It leans youthful, yet I don’t see it looking out of place on a 40-year-old man dressed casually for summer. It’s quite versatile, though if you overdo it in enclosed spaces, it can become overwhelming. The spray is very generous. Good longevity, around seven hours, which is surprising for a mature fragrance. Everyone loves it. For years I used Invictus (I went through three or four bottles), and this bears no resemblance to it. When I’ve finished it, I won’t be buying it again, but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.

Am I the only one who smells it exactly like Wanted by Night when I walk out? By the way, it’s very nice, youthful, fresh, spiced, and it lasts far too long on clothes, about ten hours.

I still can’t explain why it took me so long to buy it. It’s a brilliant fragrance, worth every penny in the truest sense. It has a fresh and sweet opening, a perfect balance. That combination of ginger and lavender in the top notes makes anyone passing by stop and wonder if you’re the one smelling so good. In the heart, notes of apple, cardamom, and juniper maintain that fresh balance, and to a certain extent, elegance. By the base, tonka bean and woody amber notes are a delight. It holds up very well across all four seasons and almost any temperature, something similar (though not identical) to the YSL EDT. Highly recommended in the truest sense.

I tried it and it was wonderful; I absolutely love this DNA and couldn’t help but say ‘how delicious’. I think it’s the ideal perfume for winter or cold climates, avoiding extremes.

Super fruity, sweet, and delicious. Not for extreme heat; it works better in spring. Despite being sweet, it feels like a masculine vibe. It feels like an Invictus but less synthetic and richer. Excellent longevity and projection. Recommended.

This is my favourite perfume, the one that earns me the most compliments; it’s quite long-lasting and fresh. I have a special affection for it because smelling it reminds me of my trip to Cuba. It’s good for warm days, although I use it on any occasion because I simply adore it.

Anyone who thinks this smells like Invictus should go to the doctor to check their nose… this has nothing to do with it. I hate Invictus not because of the smell, but because it’s so mass-produced and you smell it in every corner; Wanted is less used and smells much better, lasting and projecting double. For me, it’s one of the most underrated perfumes on the market; for the price, you can’t find anything that lasts, projects, and earns so many compliments. Is it synthetic? Yes, so what do you expect for the price? Without a doubt, it’s one of my favourites, versatile, affordable, and my wife’s favourite among a collection of Creed, PdM, Xerjoff, BDK, and TF. A safe purchase.

Absolutely delicious, perfect for everyday wear. If you’re just starting out with perfumes, this is the ideal choice; any man, regardless of age, will surely enjoy it. I know most people here are addicted to scents and this might sound generic, but trust me: if you have few fragrances or just want one that covers every occasion, this is undoubtedly the one you need. Incredible.
