Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Azrak EDP
Azrak is one of those divisive beasts: a vibrant blue-aquatic scent that some find fresh, fruity, and elegantly blended, while others dismiss it as an overpriced, synthetic floral assault. You'll either love its unique character or wonder why it costs so much.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Blue Star EDP
Blue Star copies Boadicea the Victorious Azrak - the same sunny pineapple-citrus opening over a rosy violet heart and a rich woody-amber-oud base. The budget version captures the fruity-floral-woody shape but tames the original's room-filling power, reading flatter and less refined.

Azrak

Seasons

Summer Winter

The sunny fruit and rich woody-amber base wears well across spring and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
