The Most Wanted, the 2021 novelty from Azzaro The house of Azzaro never lacks boldness and its perfumes are generally famous for their power and intensity. It all began with the creation of Azzaro pour Homme, a true icon of perfumery, renowned worldwide for its extraordinary tenacity and undeniable charisma.
Recall that in 2016, the house of Azzaro presented us with an original fragrance named Wanted. Crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, this juice aimed to be as woody as it was spicy, and immediately made itself talked about. Then, on the strength of its success, it was reinvented two years later in a more nocturnal edition: Wanted by Night. To create this woody and oriental fragrance, Azzaro then decided to turn to Quentin Bisch and Michel Girard. Once again, Azzaro decided to write a new chapter of this saga. In April 2021, the house presented a new addition to this collection: The Most Wanted. Here is our review of this fragrance.
Olfastory’s review
The Most Wanted, a composition of remarkable longevity
Azzaro's The Most Wanted is presented as a particularly intense and very long-lasting fragrance. The house does not hesitate to say that it is the most powerful fragrance in the entire collection. So, reality or mere marketing stunt? It must be said that The Most Wanted does not lack panache. Its overflowing energy emerges from the very first moment, with fresh and lively top notes of cardamom. This raw material is a fresh spice that does not lack bite and immediately captures attention. To maintain a certain balance, it is then softened by a more gourmand accord of caramel. Milky and vanilla-like, this brings roundness to The Most Wanted. However, this sweet addiction is short-lived. Everything ends with one of the most powerful and tenacious materials in all of perfumery: amber woods. Since they are excellent fixatives, they genuinely increase the longevity of this fragrance and make it a scent whose breath lasts from early morning until evening.
Azzaro opts for the refinement of a black bottle
To match this virile and very masculine image, Azzaro naturally chose the color black for its bottle. Far from insignificant, this choice also preserves the natural elegance of this saga. Indeed, beyond its dark side, black is also an undeniable symbol of luxury. It is, moreover, used by many houses around the world. Here, it comes in a matte finish and in another, shinier hue, bringing a certain light to this container. The rest of its shape remains unchanged. The Most Wanted stays faithful to its predecessors, which is not unwelcome. As a reminder, the Wanted collection unveils itself in bottles shaped like a revolver cylinder. Once again, Azzaro delivers a weapon of mass seduction!
The entire philosophy of Loris Azzaro bottled
Finally, let us also recall that The Most Wanted, just like its predecessors, is a nod to Loris Azzaro himself. The founder of the house is renowned for his irrepressible desire for freedom. Playful and hedonistic, he never hesitated to burn life at both ends. For him, luck does not happen by chance. It is made to happen, even if it means playing one's everyday life on a coin toss! It is precisely this taste for challenge and daring that is found in The Most Wanted fragrance.
