Average, but still better than Sauvage
Despite Azzaro being one of the french houses that releases masculine fragrances on a regular basis on the market it has been 10 years that it does not invest in something with pretensions to be a pillar within their line, a perfume with major investment in marketing and advertising and with a release that did not spare money to impress the press and influential in the virtual world. This is a good indication that the brand would not risk in aromatic territories that could be a fiasco or linger years to fall in the tastes of the audience (such as iris in Dior Homme or agarwood in YSL M7). And indeed Wanted to just strive to, as its name indicates, be desired / appreciated by a large audience, which in my opinion is geared more to a man between 25-35 years.

Wanted in a way bet in what is today the role that aquatic scentes were in the 90s: the musky woody fragrance of citrus touches. The brand invests in a special extraction sicilian lemon and combines with a fresh aldehydic touch and a moderate aquatic aspect. The most interesting part is that the lemon accord for some angle sometimes reminds you of a pineapple at the right point of juiciness. Like many modern men's fragrance, the transition is not very marked for the base notes, keeping the water fresh citrus aspect of the opening with a transparent and bright floral aroma and a controlled tonka sweetness. Finally, we have a combination of musks and synthetic materials of vetiver and ambergris which create a pleasant base but no specific definition of any raw material.

Wanted is not the kind of scent that excites me because it all seems too studied to be very nice, very easy to please. But however, there is a certain elegance that he has and is aligned with the advertising campaign in the James Bond styke. Sometimes its smell brings me the elegance of Prada Amber Pour Homme but without the complexity of it. However, compared with a perfume like Dior Sauvage, Wanted is saved by in no time sound so generic to the point of looking like a deodorant or a cheap perfume. It is an unerring aim at pleasing (even without excited) and that, in my opinion, is likely to be a success for the brand.

It is not new but it does its job well
Versatile fragrance, with a youthful approach, that performs well during the day and in between seasons.
It touches many spectra, it has citrus, a fruity part with a green apple that I notice a lot in its early stages, it is fresh, it is sweet and it also has a woody part.
It has good longevity for an EDT and a trail that starts out strong but retracts to moderate.
It does not invent anything new, but it is designed to please in general.

Hmm..
Surprised this is so low. I think the flankers just really embarrassed this scent into the floor. I have the first week release, nothing wrong with it to me. Layers soooo well with almost any gourmand, especially mugler. Easy to wear scent. Nothing special but fun and potent. Mugler pure coffee specifically with wanted on top, gotta say, really rocked my world the other day! Adds new depth the PC and spices up AW!

Invictus meets Eros
I tested Azarro Wanted and didn't really like iy. Smell wise it was to me the opening of Invictus with the mid of Versace Eros. It is heavily sweet on the base, something I don't find in traditional Invictus.

Performance was the real issue with this fragrance to me. I didn't get great projection nor longevity with Wanted to be quite honest. Wanted instead was a dud after about three hours worth of projection and dies off as a skin scent after seven hours tops.

Overall Azarro Wanted gets a 6.8 out of me. It does what Invcitus and Eros does but nowhere near as good. I rather get either or even both of those over Wanted.

Don't understand the hate!
I honestly don't know why a lot of people don't like the scent! to me it's very good, but of course not a great one that will blow my mind! I would prefer it over Blue light or Versace Eros for summer days as it's not very known. For me, when it dries down, it gets to a synthetic smell of Mango, but maybe it was just my impression.
I did not buy it because I do not want to wear something that a lot of people hate :) However, I still think it's a good one for summer!

Youthful freshness, lavender against warm ginger and tonka. Too uninspiring for me, but I can imagine teenagers enjoying this a lot.

Synthetic sweet bubblegum. Smells like someone took H24 EDP and replaced the gentle joyous green with uninspiring sugar. Meh.

Good, not good enough. Very cloying and synthetic, and tbh the scent becomes annoying after an hour. $55 for 5.1oz not bad, but not again.

Sweet, synthetic musky fruits with that extra something that puts it above the Invictus smell-alikes IMO. A youthful head turner fo sho.

Doesn’t smell very unique to me and that’s why I personally wouldn’t wear it.

Opens with a synthetic lemon note. Then some sweetness. Great for warm weather. I used to like it but nowadays I find it linear and boring.
