The Most Wanted (By Night)
Fall is coming, and the time to break out the fall and winter frags is near. To prepare for this, I bought three autumn fragrances over the summer, and The Most Wanted Parfum was among them.

If you are familiar with Wanted by Night, and The Most Wanted EDP, then the Most Wanted Parfum smells like a blend of the two fragrances. One gets the vanilla sweetness that is present in the Most Wanted EDP upfront, while also getting some of the spice (specifically, ginger) that is present in Wanted by Night on the dry down.
Also, because there are elements of The Most Wanted EDP Intense, one can make a fair comparison to Armani's Stronger With You.
Individually, the fragrances worked well (with Wanted by Night getting more love), but when combined in the Most Wanted Parfum, it blends the best of both fragrances that can work for most men, and maybe some women who like wearing sweet scents.
That said, if you found The Most Wanted EDP too sweet, or Wanted by Night too smoky, this is an excellent fragrance worth checking out, as it provides a middle ground.

The gun chamber bottle is nothing new in the Wanted line—by now you either love it because it looks cool, or loathe it because it looks tacky.
That said, I care about functionality and durability. The bottle is fine in that regard, as you can control the amount sprayed. However, that is nothing special.

The performance of The Most Wanted Parfum is outstanding.
In terms of sillage and projection, I could smell this fragrance in a mixture of other scents in a retail store. By itself, the fragrance has strong projection—people will know you have passed by. Of course, the opposite opinion is that it's not great for people who want to fly under the radar.
The longevity is also amazing. That strong projection lasts for about three hours, then the fragrance comes back down to normal, lasting about twelve hours overall. It will easily last an entire night.

However, with the amazing performance of The Most Wanted Parfum, comes a significant loss in versatility that makes the fragrance highly situational.
First point: Save it for mild or cold weather. After I tested the fragrance, I was stuck wearing it in the summer heat outdoors. The sweetness was nauseating until I entered a place with air conditioning.
Second point: The Most Wanted Parfum is not an office or gym fragrance. Anti-fragrance office policies exist because of fragrances like this that can overtake a small office. The gym is worse, as body heat will make the fragrance radiate more. This creates a massive distraction for other members working out, especially if mixed with body odor.
A person can still wear The Most Wanted Parfum on a date, or at their leisure, provided they keep the sprays in check. However, the best usage for it is at a party, a nightclub, or an outdoor event in mild weather. While the fragrance is sweet, the spice offers an alternative to popular night club fragrances.
----
Overall, I think The Most Wanted Parfum is a fantastic fragrance that blends the best elements of the two previous Wanted fragrances.
That said, if you already own Wanted by Night or The Most Wanted EDP, I recommend to save your money and do not fall for the fear of missing out. Also, keep in mind that Azzaro fragrances get cheaper after the initial retail run. If you wait a few months, you can probably purchase this fragrance at a discount.
(Editing Note on December 4, 2023: The price has NOT dropped on the fragrance. The popularity of the Wanted line has caught on with discounters.)
With those points aside, if you are looking for a versatile fragrance, a fragrance with mild projection, or a fragrance with an artistic flair, look elsewhere—this is not for you.
However, if you want a fragrance that projects and adds a slightly mature flair to the typical sweet scents, The Most Wanted Parfum may be the fragrance for you.
