Gorgeous topnotes, use light handed

This was gifted to me and I'm so very happy with it!
The opening is so glorious, bright and green in an enchanting way! Then the oakmoss comes through, I then fear the bitterness, but with Azuree, it is balanced out by the herbal and green, fresh notes. That bitterness is still there, but I've learned to perceive it as 'the grounding of the scent'.
In the following stage, I do get why some people find her reminiscent of Jean-Louis Scherrer Eau de Toilette, but this lady Azurée is far more complex, deeper and less linear. Also less yellow, I think.
In the sillage I get something 'clean' (not soapy!) which makes me think the vetiver may be the Haitian kind of vetiver, but I don't know.

Longevity and sillage are great, but olfactory fatigue is lurking when oversprayed, I really smell this chypre best when used light handed.
It's a lovely fresh and beautyful, intriguing scent for spring and summer! The more I wear this, the more I love it.

Golden Shadow

It was the same ritual every morning.

The alarm clock rang early, and she stepped to the window, opening it wide. She loved this early hour. There was still a light mist over the meadows, and a slightly fresh breeze was blowing. She quickly got ready and went down the stairs.

Her first stop was always the kitchen.
Peeling lemon zest and adding it along with some herbs to fresh mineral water. Lightly chilled, it made a wonderfully aromatic summer drink. Everyone could help themselves to it throughout the day.

Then out into the garden. The earth under her feet was already a bit sun-warmed, but still a tad moist. Passing by the small colorful flower bed, where there was almost more greenery than roses visible.

Her destination was the old hammock, whose green fabric had become a bit rough over time, and the wide leather lacing had almost grown into the tree trunks. She always found this place pleasantly rustic.

A finely delicate bitter, spicy scent emanated from the herbs she would soon pick. But first, she settled into the hammock, let her feet dangle, and enjoyed the feeling of the soft, subtly spicy moss brushing against her as she gently swayed. Here, she took her time, relished the sweet idleness, and recharged her energy.

Warm, soft, and golden, the sun's rays diffused through the spicy foliage, melting in the cool shade, causing a few small, bright resin droplets on the branches to shimmer gently.

Slowly, she stood up, cut the slightly bitter herbs, and walked back to the house with a smile along the sunny path.

Swimming Pool

At the bottom of the pool, sun spirits dance as I glide weightlessly through the water. They shimmer around my limbs, just like the afternoon heat will later, when it melts the water droplets on my warm skin. Above me, dried leaves and dirt have gathered. Surely, a few of them will get caught in my hair when I surface.
She says the pool is dirty. A filthy puddle. But what does she know about dirt?
All night, the crickets have chirped on the sand-colored stones, in the nooks of the house with the azure shutters, and even in the vines on the unplastered walls. The mugwort stands half-dried in full bloom, and the lemons hang so ripe on the branches of the frail trees that I wonder when they will touch the ground, where lush moss thrives. It is this spot where the earth still remembers the past rain, where I have dug my fingers into the moist warmth, where the shoe with the leather straps and high cork sole still lies.
She probably doesn’t even know where the other one has disappeared to. Yet she never tires of admonishing me that I mustn’t stumble carelessly in high heels.
When I surface from the pool, I will go to her, withstand her stern gaze while she pretends not to look at me, and her eyes will wander from the golden fuzz on the scar on my belly to the chipped nail polish on my toes.
Even when the wind rustles in the lemon trees, it won’t puff out the flowers on her fully buttoned blouse, and yet she has taken my diary, follows my traces in the house even at night, and mostly with her clattering fingers on the keyboard. She follows the unmistakable sounds to this brittle leather couch and later, much later, to the headlights on the stone path.
Once, she was me and I was her. Because we condition each other.

**

Somehow it’s a pity that François Ozon’s “Swimming Pool” always comes to mind when I wear Azuree, even though Jacques Deray’s “La Piscine” from 1969 happens to be from the same year as the fragrance. But unfortunately, the older film hasn’t left a lasting impression on me, whereas I find Azuree’s contradictory facets without much imagination in the peculiar relationship between the strict, somewhat buttoned-up Brit Sarah (Charlotte Rampling) and the carelessly lascivious Frenchwoman Julie (Ludivine Sagnier).
Azuree is just like Chabochard and Aramis a herbal-spicy leather chypre by Bernard Chant, and the close relationship cannot be denied among all three fragrances. Azuree is the youngest family member and brings, alongside the chypre-typical balance of green strictness on the surface and sensual warmth behind the scenes, plenty of Mediterranean sunshine. The fragrance starts with a cool blend of bergamot and aldehydes, which soon moves towards candied lemon zest, underlaid with herbal green notes, especially mugwort. Azuree is more summery than its siblings, yet no less capricious, a bit like a radiant summer day when thunderclouds could roll in at any moment. Moreover, the fragrance thrives on its contrasts: lemon sunshine and bitter herbs, floral shimmering Hedione musk and harsh leather (perhaps Isobutyl Quinoline like in Bandit and Jolie Madame), balsamic darkness of earthy-mossy patchouli and slightly smoky-scratchy vetiver.
The inner contradictions of the notes rub against each other like the controversial characters of the two women in François Ozon’s film. Yet just like Sarah and Julie, they also condition each other through their interaction, and one side could not exist without its contrasting counterpart, until they finally intertwine into an inseparable unit.
The vintage version of Azuree, which I admit I only know fleetingly, is oilier, more floral, and has a more pronounced oakmoss note. Additionally, there is an iris in the heart, which I no longer perceive in the modern fragrance. Generally, in the reformulated version, citrus and herbal green notes embedded in musk prevail, heading towards a leathery Isobutyl Quinoline base with patchouli. Despite the differences, the character of the fragrance has remained intact, and I perceive none of that annoying scent ingredient (no idea what it could be, but I would be happy if someone with knowledge chimes in!), which has smoothed the edges and corners of so many classics in their modern form.
Azuree proves the summer-appropriate side of leather chypre and offers exactly that little bit more that I often miss in citrus-dominated fragrances. A summer favorite. For now and forever.

Barely any differences to the original

I was a bit startled when I read that Azuree was being released in new packaging, but when I tested it in my perfumery, I was relieved. It still smells just as it should, only a little more floral. I can reassure all Azuree fans. Everything is still there, in the right place. Read my report on the "regular" Azuree.

“Wild Elegance”

Azurèe and Knowing are the two chypre perfumes that I love from the Estèe Lauder brand.
I had the opportunity to test both versions: the old and the current one. The vintage scent is of course uniquely complex, rich in clear, natural oak moss and a magnificent floral bouquet.
But how much of this masterpiece has been preserved in the current (newly formulated) fragrance?
I find that the scent still retains its DNA.
The characteristic "warm coldness" (aldehydes and oak moss) is still present.
The oak moss has obviously been replaced by synthetic notes and a beautiful 'fractionated' patchouli.
The perfume initially contains fewer aldehydes than the vintage version; the citrus and basil notes are still central and well balanced. After half an hour, the perfume becomes darker and warmer, it becomes denser, the green and earthy note of mugwort (which is now almost no longer used) blends with the moist and woody aspect of vetiver. The rose makes everything even more enveloping and warmer.
The perfume settles on the skin with a light note of leather, patchouli, and amber (actually, it is an olfactory balance reconstructed with labdanum and woody notes).
The bitter aspect, fresh and warm at the same time, the metallic facets (given by the aldehydes), the woody and green notes have remained similar.

Because of all these contrasting and beautiful qualities, I like to refer to the scent as “wild elegance”.
The wild DNA (which has distant echoes of the great "Bandit (1944) (Perfume) | Robert Piguet" and Cabochard (1959) Eau de Toilette) has been dressed in elegant and refined notes.
Azurèe represents an elegance that one must undress to rediscover the languorous and secret sensuality. Nowadays, no one wants to discover and explore the mysterious and hidden aspects of personalities anymore, but rather settle for a sad and inauthentic surface.
Who can still use Azurèe today? Only those who loved the old scent and find in the new version the core that has remained unchanged, albeit with less magic.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the two wonderful people who brought this masterpiece to my attention.
Thank you Tabla and Cappuccetto from a lover of true chypre fragrances.

When the wind
Chypre green and spicy blows
The day awakens citrus-fresh
You dance with me on the edge of the mossy wood
Of the leather volcano
Elegantly the rose waltz+
