Olfastory’s review
A composition as qualitative as it is contrasted
Azzaro pour Homme Cologne Intense is a perfume that beautifully renders the entire olfactory know-how of the Azzaro house. Moving between freshness, power and sensuality, it gives rise to a wave of intense sensations and appears as an intense chill right on the body. Belonging to the olfactory category of aromatic, citrus and woody perfumes, it is built around three main ingredients. First, it contains lime, a zesty and very refreshing citrus fruit. Then, its untamed energy is carried forward by a heart of lavender, more Mediterranean, floral and aromatic. Finally, as though drawn from the heart of the garrigue, Azzaro pour Homme Cologne Intense ends with mastic resin, with a green and balsamic breath. While these ingredients take us from freshness to a warmer and more intense sillage, they are also rigorously selected and highly qualitative. In this case, the lavender used by Azzaro comes from a sustainable development subsidiary, guaranteeing fair income to producers.
When the beauty of an exotic lagoon inspires Azzaro's bottle
In keeping with this sun-kissed freshness, the bottle of Azzaro pour Homme Cologne Intense takes on an entirely new color. Its former amber hue now gives way to a gradient shifting from turquoise blue at its base to a sun-kissed yellow at its top. Immediately, it brings to mind a paradisiacal lagoon, whose cool waters are contrasted by the intense warmth of the sun at its zenith. Aside from this new element, the rest of this visual is completely unchanged. It preserves the silhouette of the previous Azzaro pour Homme, and no one could say that this glass case has already crossed several decades. Utterly timeless and fully current, it never goes out of style and moves through the ages without a single wrinkle!
Azzaro pour Homme Cologne Intense, an Eau de Cologne for modern times
If Azzaro pour Homme Cologne Intense draws on Eau de Cologne, it is simply because this is a highly appreciated type of fragrance, even today. Indeed, for many years, perfumes for men did not exist, and gentlemen made do with scenting themselves with Eau de Cologne. Its cult freshness has remained forever in memory, and many men seek out that small retro touch in their perfumes today. Azzaro pour Homme Cologne Intense is a historical testament brought up to date, in which freshness, virility and modernity intertwine.
