Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford, a summer escape. Remember: in 2021, the designer Tom Ford decided to take us on a journey to the Mediterranean, as if to evoke his past as a designer and a land that was particularly dear to him. In 2022, he repeats the experience and intensifies his previous olfactory experience.
In 2021, the perfumer Tom Ford presented Costa Azzurra Eau de Parfum. The ambition of his fragrance? To take us with a single breath to the heart of the Mediterranean basin, a place particularly dear to the designer... In 2022, Tom Ford repeats the experience. This time, he decides once again to intensify the experience. Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford is an even more intense juice, which seems to capture the Mediterranean atmosphere all on its own. Let us see how the pleasures of the Dolce Vita and the European art of living are evoked here...
Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford, a wave of freshness
Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford opens with a very refreshing scent evocative of Italy. Here, Italian lemon dominates. It gives this perfume a very lively and energizing lift. Moreover, the sea spray evoked seems to come straight from the Mediterranean sea. This marine reminiscence comes from an accord of seaweed and driftwood. To further amplify the spicy freshness of this perfume, other elements are added to its formula, such as cardamom, ambrette, or, even more surprisingly, celery seeds. Finally, to plunge us unmistakably into a luxurious register, Tom Ford decided to add one of the most precious woods in the world: oud.
The more aromatic breath of Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford
The heart of Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford does not depart at all from Mediterranean territory. Its freshness is preserved in an alliance of cypress and yellow mandarin. However, to reinforce its Provençal aspect, Tom Ford decides to add lavender. Highly appreciated for its olfactory richness and power, it unfolds a floral aspect while remaining emblematic of masculine notes. Slightly retro, it is further paired with an accord of mugwort and myrtle. Here again, as a small anecdote, note that myrtle is a plant typical of the Mediterranean. It is very widespread in the Corsican maquis, as well as in Sicily and Sardinia.
The amber woody base of Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford
Finally, Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford becomes intoxicated with incense. This carries a powerful and distinguished breath across the whole. Other resins such as olibanum come to amplify the tenacity of this juice. Mastic lays down over its base notes a resinous, spicy and woody breath. Vanilla in turn reveals itself to be more suave and animalic. Woods also come to increase its charisma, its longevity and its persistence. Here, more precisely, this means vetiver and oak. Finally, ambers illuminate this fragrance in an ever more luxurious and radiant spirit.
More specifically, Costa Azzurra Parfum by Tom Ford draws inspiration from its predecessor, the 2021 Costa Azzurra Eau de Parfum, while offering it additional power. The experience of its predecessor is intensified. Its original fragrance is, so to speak, elevated.
