The Most Wanted Intense
Eau de Toilette, Azzaro (2024)

A clean lavender freshie that’s simple and inoffensive. You could wear it year-round, though it may be a bit too simple for some. It’s also not very intense and doesn’t last particularly long. I’ve spent some time with Azzaro Wanted lineup, and it’s easily one of the most underwhelming lines I’ve come across. That said, this isn’t a bad scent. It’s relatively smooth and not overly synthetic.

At around 80 CAD for 100ml on discounters, the price is okay (definitely not worth its retail cost). But if you’re looking for a fresh, office-friendly fragrance in that range, you might be better off going with something from Hermès instead.

I liked the opening and mid quite a lot, but then again I'm a sucker for lavender in general. It's sort of like Sauvage EDT without the pepper. The dry down turned into a mess on my skin, unfortunately.

TMW Intense EDT starts out with a fleeting citrus before moving into a fairly linear sweet lavender. The sweetness is toned down compared to the original TMW, but this flanker is by no means graduating in to a more mature fragrance.

The note pyramid claims to have a "liquor" accord in the base, but this is clearly just marketing towards Azzaro's target audience, because it ain't there. Even if it was there, after one drink, you would never be able to smell it anyway!

On a positive note, this is definitely not a projection bomb, so normal application won't cause the sprinklers to go off in your apartment building.

Overall, Azzaro isn't trying to split the atom here as it's just another mass market crowd pleaser for $120 at Sephora. Frag on kiddos.

2 / 5 stars

The Most Wanted Intense" by Azzaro starts off as fresh as a morning — citrusy and energetic. The addition of lavender brings a sense of coziness, reminiscent of evenings by the fireplace. The fragrance is sweet but moderate, perfect for everyday wear. It has pretty good longevity, lasting about 6-7 hours. Overall, it’s friendly and sweet — definitely worth a try
