Better than the Original?

As a fan and collector of Azzaro Pour Homme, this fragrance is a must-have. If you’re not a collector, I would prefer the original. This one has the original Azzaro PH DNA with a lot of bitter orange on top. It’s a nice scent and pleasant to have, but I would start with the original to appreciate this somewhat more special Edition Noire even more. For me, it’s a solid piece for the colder days.

Consistent is one who adapts to the circumstances. Winston Spencer Churchill (1874-1965), British statesman; Prime Minister 1940-45 and 1951-55, Nobel Prize for Literature 1953.

The ancestor of this edition was a hit, today unfortunately much less intense and fragrant than it was over thirty or forty years ago. This is the consequence when one wants to preserve a product over the years or simply bring it into the present time. One hopes that a reformulation will attract a new clientele that does not want to appear as a living burst of freshness. What happens to the customers who actually liked the original from 1978? One orients oneself to successful products from the competition and realizes that a few ingredients are enough for olfactory success.
Examples: Eau Sauvage Parfum, Prada intense, Dior Homme intense.
One takes three strong notes and mixes them as a unique character. This Noire has succeeded very well and consistently. At the moment, I know no other fragrance that fascinates me with this power of bitter orange.
Habit Rouge has a strong opening, but there the bergamot comes in, and one is further away with the typical Guerlinade than here.
Why is this mix so appealing?
Probably because the wormwood, or rather the vulgar Artemisia, has such a strong character. I thought I effectively recognized a hint of camphor. An old ingredient brilliantly brought into the modern age, respect ladies and gentlemen for this idea.
Not many houses swim against the mainstream; Azzaro is one of them. Unfortunately, Azzaro's image is not where the new products of today are, or in other words: The marketing with its communication unfortunately runs completely parallel to the reality of the absolutely good products. This problem exists not only with Clarins, which owns this brand, but is also found with other brand houses. They often work with well-known but poor advertising agencies and do not check the effectiveness for sales. Too often, the surrounding images, the testimonials, or the advertising figures are completely loveless and almost nullify the really good work of the perfumers.
A tragedy when one has such a good fragrance on offer, and the brand's image is totally undervalued. A good marketing agency in car advertising is not always also leading in the beauty sector.
The Edition Noire is described as long-lasting, which is only partially true. It loses its enormous sillage after thirty minutes and transitions into a pleasant perception. It is never intrusive or inappropriate. Thus, it is not only suitable as a dress code in the evening but also as a work fragrance. Unless you work in a 4 square meter office with two other colleagues.
For me, the best fragrance next to the already very good Intense from Azzaro.
