Released in 2026, Forever Wanted Absolu extends Azzaro’s Wanted line with a men’s eau de parfum that the house files among amber fougères. An incense essence opens the composition, a whisky accord holds its heart and vanilla its base, in the line’s barrel-shaped bottle, dressed in gold and bronze.
Paul (Skint Skincare) finds it boozy, sweet and smoky, more successful than on paper, a mature fragrance for cold evenings rather than the office.

Skint Skincare: boozy, sweet and smoky
On May 8, 2026, Paul describes, from a bottle gifted by the house, a boozy, sweet and smoky fragrance whose pairing seemed risky to him on paper but which works and becomes, he writes, almost addictive the more you smell it.
The whisky seems to him to bring a complexity that keeps the vanilla from becoming cloying, while the incense and woods blend with the rest. He places it at the mature end of sweet fragrances, for men who have tired of the fresh, sporty scents of their twenties.
He saves it for evenings and cold months, October rather than July, and judges it too forceful for the office, made for those who are happy to be noticed.
