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.
