by Azzaro
Azzaro Now Women is a sharply modern, aquatic floral that leans toward a crisp, clean, and slightly soapy freshness. It opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot, passionfruit, and white tea, creating a zingy, effervescent top that feels like cool water mixed with juicy fruit. As it dries down, a delicate aldehyde-rich floral heart emerges—jasmine and tiare flower weave through a soft, musky amber base with a noticeable hint of rum and Brazilian rosewood, giving it a slightly creamy but fleeting warmth. The scent is best experienced on warm days, where its aquatic freshness and soft green tea accord feel perfect for summer humidity. Despite its surprisingly short longevity, most agree it performs well for daytime and does not transition well into cooler weather. A polarizing fragrance, it polarizes strongly—some find it refreshing and unique, while others perceive it as overly soapy, sharp, or even nauseating, with a metallic, icy dry down on certain skin types. Its personality leans youthful and contemporary, with a bottle design that's both striking and divisive.
