Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen of BOS! Today I wanted to share with you my take on one of the biggest staples in masculine perfumery throughout history, Azzaro's 1978 release: Azzaro Pour Homme. What a fragrance! I had been looking forward on getting a bottle of this fragrance ever since I saw it for the first time; the current minimalist version of its bottle make it look surprisingly modern and sober yet pretty old school and classy, one of the most timeless bottles I've come across, I'd say. The Juice itself hits that way as well since it smells soapy and masculine clean without getting into clichƩ modern or too dated for new generations. Azzaro themselves mention this very fragrance being composed of over 300 ingredients! Yet the note breakdown can be summed up into the following simple notes: Heavy Lavender, Basil, Clary Sage and star Anise with a hint of Lemon and Bergamot in the top; Cedar, Juniper Berries, Vetiver and a touch of patchouli in the middle; and Oakmoss, Musk, Leather and Amber for the bottom notes. Overall, this fragrance smells Herbal, Spicy and very barber-like soapy clean. The performance is great for the price point as well; a solid 8 hour longevity on skin, 10 on clothing and good projection and sillage during the first two and a half hours. As a side note, if you want to try this DNA for half the already great price of Azzaro Pour Homme, you can try Cuba Black by Cuba Paris; It comes as close as 90% to the original APH just a little less spicy and more into the green fresh side of the composition.
