Azzaro pour Homme

by Gérard Anthony , Richard Wirtz

Azzaro Azzaro pour Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1978, created by Gérard Anthony and Richard Wirtz. Azzaro pour Homme opens with Lavender, Star Anise, Iris, and Basil, settles into a heart of Juniper, Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Leather, Oakmoss, Musk, and Amber. Azzaro's Azzaro pour Homme carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This is the definitive old-school men's fragrance - a barbershop classic that's been around since 1978 and still commands respect. It's unapologetically masculine and carries an aura of vintage sophistication, though some find it a bit too dated or sharp. A divisive gem, but a masterpiece to its loyal fans.

About

Azzaro pour Homme opens with a brisk, aromatic burst of lavender and star anise, brightened by citrus and herbaceous basil for that classic barbershop freshness. As it settles, a woody heart of vetiver and sandalwood emerges, deepened by earthy patchouli and spicy cardamom. The base reveals a rich, animalic leather softened by oakmoss, musky amber, and a touch of sweet tonka bean, delivering a profoundly masculine and clean dry-down.
