Azzaro Decibel is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Christophe Raynaud. Decibel opens with Lemon, Licorice, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Violet and Incense, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Azzaro's Decibel carries a Statement verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's proper divisive, a true love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Forget blind buys, you absolutely need to get your nose on Decibel before committing, because what some call unique and mesmerising, others call 'disgusting' and 'church-like'.

About

Decibel kicks off with a sharp, almost metallic aldehyde and lemon zest, quickly giving way to a prominent licorice note that some find reminiscent of burnt sugar. The heart introduces smoky incense with a subtle violet, then settles into a warm, creamy base of vanilla and tonka bean, softened by vetiver. It's an intriguing blend of fresh, sweet, and smoky elements, definitely not your average designer scent.
