Azzaro pour Homme Elixir

Azzaro · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2009

≈ $60 · 100ml · approx. retail

A sweeter, ambery 2009 flanker of Azzaro pour Homme created by Michel Girard, layering pear and black currant over a vanilla and tonka base. It reads as a warmer, more gourmand-leaning take on the classic fougere DNA.
