What does Azzaro pour Homme Elixir smell like?

Bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon open fresh, then lean fruity with pear and blackcurrant. Lavender and geranium form the fougère frame, while oakmoss and labdanum give a woody, oriental base. Vanilla, tonka bean, coumarin and benzoin pull it toward a gourmand sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with night out and evening wear leading, and leisure and business also getting votes. It reads as masculine. Perfumes with a close profile include Girard New York Nights and Joop! Joop! Homme (Eau de Toilette).
