Azzaro pour Elle, Azzaro’s hit feminine fragrance. Loris Azzaro began his career enhancing women’s style, yet he became known in perfumery thanks to a men’s fragrance. In fact, he had no desire whatsoever to create a fragrance for men.
Released in 2016, Azzaro pour Elle follows the immense success of Azzaro pour Homme, the brand’s first fragrance. Inspired by the finest haute couture pieces, Azzaro pour Elle is an ultra-feminine, contemporary and glamorous fragrance. The Azzaro woman is not only seductive, but also sun-kissed and charismatic. Naturally beautiful, Azzaro pour Elle allows her to heighten her power of seduction. As the Azzaro house states, the Azzaro woman is a woman who dares... always a little more, but never too much. Her most glamorous accessory is, in this case, her fragrance.
Azzaro pour Elle, a fragrant seduction signed Nathalie Lorson and Fabrice Pellegrin
In order to create this fragrance, as elegant as it is feminine, the Azzaro house chose a duo of perfumers, namely Nathalie Lorson and Fabrice Pellegrin. Nathalie Lorson grew up in Grasse and was immersed in the world of perfumery from an early age, as her father was a chemist for the company Roure. After working for IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances), Nathalie Lorson joined Firmenich in 2002. Nathalie Lorson is behind beautiful fragrances such as Place Vendôme by Boucheron and Encre Noire by Lalique. The son of a perfumer, Fabrice Pellegrin began his training as a perfumer at the company Mane. He later joined Firmenich. Above all, he enjoys working with natural raw materials, and when composing a fragrance, he favors short, structured formulas with clearly defined tiers. Fabrice Pellegrin is behind major successes such as Womanity by Thierry Mugler and Luna Blossom by Nina Ricci.
Azzaro pour Elle, the fabric of a modern woman in fragrance
Azzaro pour Elle is considered a spicy woody floral fragrance and opens with ultra-sparkling notes and an unexpected accord composed of cardamom, orange and champagne. Cardamom is an herbaceous plant native to India, with a sweet and pungent flavor. The Egyptians used it to fight coughs and sore throats. The Romans, for their part, used it as a toothpaste to neutralize the taste of garlic. It is the cardamom seeds that are used in cooking. The spice is in fact the black seed found inside the green husk. In perfumery, it is the dried seeds that are steam-distilled. Cardamom releases tonalities that are at once green, spicy, camphoraceous and resinous. Then, the heart of Azzaro pour Elle is a combination of fruits and flowers, with the presence of peach, lily and rose. A majestic flower, the lily is the symbol of royalty par excellence. The fleur-de-lis adorned coats of arms, paintings and furniture right up until the revolution. In the language of flowers, the white lily represents pure love. In perfumery, lily offers spicy, floral and jasmine-like tonalities. Finally, the base of Azzaro pour Elle is a perfect harmony between elegance, femininity and sensuality, combining Cashmeran, olibanum, vanilla and sandalwood.
