Of perpetrators and victims
Oh dear - what was Azzaro thinking about with this release? I can imagine very well that those responsible at Azzaro were looking at the big competitor Paco Rabanne and, once again, at the thought of their success, were already shaking their knives full of envy and despair. Maybe someone even brought his 38s to the meeting in rage to show how serious the situation is and what you would do with the competition to at least secure some market share.
Even before the situation escalated, one of the more prudent members of the meeting may have come up with the idea that it could at least be used to create a bottle that would pay for Paco Rabanne's "target" group and quote Viktor & Rolf's no less successful Spicebomb. Something the whole 12 to 16 year old wannabe gangsta kids have to react to. And to be on the safe side, Fabrice Pellegrin was hired as a perfumer, and with Black XS L´Excès he was already able to start the fragrance organ for Paco Rabanne. The latter is fact, the rest pure speculation or alternative truths - depending on how you like it.
The result is an eau de toilette which, with its synthetic but at least not quite unpleasant lemon, warm sugared ginger, spicy smooth cardamom and soft tonka bean, is definitely aimed at younger buyers. At times this reminds me of the normal Black XS, although it has a completely different structure. Anyway, there must be some typical Paco Rabanne DNA creeping in. In Fragrantica's pyramid there is something about apples, which in my opinion in PR would rather go in the direction of strawberries and close the circle for me and explain it. That means what I didn't like about Black XS and didn't like, continues here (un-)wittily. And I'm not alone, because others didn't associate Wanted with Invictus quite by accident.
Later on, the fragrance cannot completely escape its synthetic origin, especially as it sometimes gives off slightly rubbery and sweaty nuances.
In short, Wanted is a nice exotic, quite sweetened art scent that robs the target group of Black XS, Invictus and Spicebomb. It is not as bad now as it is here with some evaluations, but it is not really an enrichment.
I find the bottle, on the other hand, more questionable, as it is embarrassing even for the copywriters of the Azzaro website and dissociates themselves from it, because it says that it is shaped like a clock mechanism and symbolizes the desire for challenge and the play with danger. Yes no - is clear! Who hasn't heard the bang? I just say (and let's see who understands this in context): Happyness is a warm gun!
The perpetrator and victim here is Azzaro at the same time, shooting themselves in the knee with Wanted - at least as far as their brand character is concerned!
