Where to buy

With its fragrance Costa Azzurra, it takes us to the heart of the Mediterranean. This juice is a concentrate of sun-kissed refinement, as luxurious as it is radiant. Presented in a golden bottle of great beauty, it transports us to another place rich in emotion and well-being.

Costa Azzurra, a fragrance synonymous with travel

For most Americans, the Mediterranean is a place to discover at least once in a lifetime, far from their culture and just as fascinating for its way of life as for its cuisine and beauty. It is precisely to transport us to this region that Tom Ford created the fragrance Costa Azzurra. It must be said that the American designer knows this part of the world well. Before launching his own luxury house in 2006, he held successive positions as creative director for the houses Gucci and Yves Saint-Laurent. France and Italy are therefore his adopted lands. With Costa Azzurra, he takes us to a place familiar to him. This highly contrasted fragrance is conceived as a wave of freshness, even as sea salt floods the atmosphere, blending with the woody breath of the dunes. It is a comforting ray of sunshine sweeping across damp skin. I have always loved fragrances that have the ability to transport, explains Tom Ford. Costa Azzurra captures the atmosphere that is both relaxed and sexy of the Mediterranean. For me, it is the ultimate escape.

Costa Azzurra, Tom Ford's luminous, sun-kissed fragrance

In terms of aesthetics, Costa Azzurra fits fully within the world of Tom Ford. Luxurious to the utmost, it seduces with its refinement and golden hue. Its glass is finely sculpted to trace numerous ridges, as the fragrance Black Orchid had done before it. Its transparent walls are illuminated by a golden juice, as though it held within it all the light and power of the sun. Moreover, this luminous shade echoes the gold lacquer found on its label and its cap. Here, it is not only an evocation of the Mediterranean, but also of Tom Ford's natural elegance.
Costa Azzurra combines the freshness of sea air with the woody breath of the Riviera. It resembles a salty, refreshing wave sweeping over the body in the sun. To achieve this, it opens first with a trio of lemon, myrtle essential oil and juniper berries. It is therefore just as refreshing as it is resinous and woody. This aromatic sensation continues at its heart, with the presence of mastic resin and cypress. Woody and enveloping, Costa Azzurra seems to come straight from the garrigue. It finally concludes with a final touch of oak and cistus absolute.

Olfastory’s review

Perfumery is an integral part of the luxury market. Why is that? Simply because it is an art form in its own right, producing creations made through artisanal know-how, capable of transporting us with a single breath while giving rise to intense emotion. If fragrances are able to bring back a memory, they also have the gift of transporting us to a faraway place in a fraction of a second. This is how the fragrance Costa Azzurra was conceived. With it, Tom Ford leaves the United States, his native land, and transports us to the heart of the Mediterranean. An evocation of sea mist and sunlight, Costa Azzurra rests on a fascinating play of light and shadow, all while dazzling with its luminous golden bottle. Here is our review of it.
