Wanted Cologne

An apple note will sit wedged between cardamom and juniper in the core of Azzaro Wanted Cologne, a genuinely odd pairing, though lemon, ginger, lavender and mint lead the top first, bright and cold, the mint sharpening an already bracing citrus. Apple, Guatemalan cardamom, juniper and geranium form the middle, fruit and spice pulling in opposite directions with the juniper adding a dry gin edge. Tonka bean, amberwood and Haitian vetiver close it warm, sweet and earthy, and they hold for hours. That vetiver is what keeps the tonka from tipping into anything too comfortable, and it gives the dry down a grip most crowd pleasers give up on. Bright, cold and thoroughly commanding. Wanted Cologne belongs to daytime wear and sunlit afternoons, a citrus aromatic Eau de Parfum through and through. Reach for Wanted Cologne again and again without ever tiring of it.
