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.

Swimming pool
Sun spirits dance at the bottom of the pool as I glide weightlessly through the water. They shimmer around my limbs, just like the afternoon heat later on, when it melts the beads of water on my warm skin. Dried leaves and earth have collected above me. I'm sure some of them will get caught in my hair when I emerge.
She says the pool is dirty. A dingy pond. But what does she know about dirt?
The crickets have been chirping all night on the sand-colored stones, in the niches of the house with the azure shutters and even in the vines on the unplastered walls. The mugwort is half-dried and in full bloom and the lemons hang so ripe on the branches of the weak trees that I wonder when they will touch the ground where lush moss grows. It is this spot where the earth still remembers the past rain, where I have dug my fingers into the damp warmth, where the shoe with the leather straps and the high cork sole still lies.
She probably doesn't even know where the other one has gone. She never tires of reminding me that I shouldn't stumble around so carelessly in high heels.
When I emerge from the pool, I will walk up to her, withstand her stern gaze as she pretends not to look at me, her eyes nevertheless wandering from the golden fuzz on the scar on my stomach to the chipped nail polish on my toes.
Even when the wind rustles in the lemon trees, it won't puff up the flowers on her buttoned-to-the-top blouse and yet she has taken my diary, follows my footsteps around the house even at night and usually with her fingers clacking on the keyboard. Follows the unmistakable sounds to this brittle leather couch and later, much later, the headlights on the stone path.
Once she was me and I was her. Because we are mutually dependent.

**

It's a shame 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 movie didn't leave 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).
Just like Chabochard and Aramis, Azuree is a herbaceous, spicy leather chypre by Bernard Chant and the close relationship between the three fragrances cannot be denied. Azuree is the youngest member of the family and, in addition to the chypre-typical balance of green austerity on the surface and sensual warmth behind the scenes, brings with it plenty of Mediterranean sunshine. The fragrance starts with a cool blend of bergamot and aldehydes, which soon moves towards candied lemon zest and is underlaid with herbaceous green notes, especially mugwort. Azuree is more summery than its siblings, but no less moody, a bit like a bright summer's day on which storm clouds could gather at any time. The fragrance also thrives on its contrasts: lemon sun and tart herbs, floral shimmering hedione musk and harsh leather (perhaps isobutyl quinoline as in Bandit and Jolie Madame), balsamic darkness of earthy-mossy patchouli and slightly smoky-scratchy vetiver.
The inner contradictions of the notes rub up against each other like the controversial characters of the two women in François Ozon's film. But just like Sarah and Julie, they are mutually dependent on each other through their interaction, and one side could not exist without its contrasting counterpart until they finally combine to form an inseparable whole.
The vintage version of Azuree, which I have to admit I only know in passing, is oilier, more floral and has a more pronounced oakmoss note. There is also an iris in the heart, which I no longer notice in the modern fragrance. In general, citric and herbaceous green notes embedded in musk predominate in the reformulated version, heading towards a leathery isobutyl quinoline base with patchouli. Despite the differences, the character of the fragrance has been preserved and I don't detect any of that pesky smelling substance (no idea what it might be, but I'm happy for someone to jump in with their knowledge!) that has sanded the rough edges off so many classics in their modern form.
Azuree proves the summery side of leather chypre and offers just that little bit more that I so often miss in citrusy fragrances. A summer favorite. For now and forever.

Harmony of opposites or Sophia Loren meets Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren refresh themselves in a small bar overlooking the sea after a hot day of sailing in the Aegean. A large holm oak provides dry shade, dusk settles over the sky with a light breeze. The heat of the day rises from the stone wall, the maquis breathes a sigh of relief and impregnates the evening atmosphere with its spicy, herbaceous scent. Crickets chirp, Sophia dabs small beads of sweat from her forehead with a cloth napkin, the aperitif glass fogs up and drops of water leave cool, damp traces. Grace lights a fresh white cigarette on her dark green tip, gazing dreamily at the soft blue waves of the Aegean Sea, which merges with the evening sky on the horizon. The ladies' bodies slowly cool down and Grace, smiling green, asks the garçon for a light.

A wonderful fragrance that for me combines contrasts of warm, spicy Mediterranean fragrance notes with fresh, cool elements elegantly and yet very harmoniously with a certain untamedness. For me, it is a very stable, balanced fragrance in which every note blends harmoniously to create an extravagant whole. It has incredible sillage and longevity, I have to spray it carefully, often not near my head, but in the crook of my arm and knee. I don't know the original fragrance, but I find it to be a complex work that I admire with awe. It is absolutely unisex, yet it is elegant and sophisticated to wear.

Golden shadow
It was the same ritual every morning.

Early the alarm clock rang and she stepped to the window, opening it wide. This early hour, she loved it. There was still a shallow haze over the meadows and a light fresh breeze was blowing. Quickly she got ready and went down the stairs.

The first path always led her to the kitchen.
Peel the lemon zest and add it to fresh mineral water along with a few herbs. Slightly cooled a wonderfully aromatic summer drink. Of it then everyone could help themselves throughout the day.

Then out into the garden. The earth under her feet already a little sun warmed, but still a quäntchen damp. Past the small colorful flower bed, in which already almost more herb than rose was recognizable.

Her goal was the old hammock whose green fabric had become a little rough in the course of time and the wide leather lacing had almost grown into the trunks of the trees. Tartly beautiful she always felt this place to be.

A fine delicate bitter spicy smell emanated from the herbs she was about to pick. But first she sat down in the hammock, dangling her feet and enjoying them touching the soft, delicately spicy moss as she rocked gently. Here she took her time, enjoying the sweet idleness and recharging her batteries.

Warm, soft and golden, the sun's rays fell diffusely through the spicy foliage, melting into the cool shade, leaving a few small, pale droplets of resin on the branches to shimmer softly.

Slowly, she stood up, cut the slightly tart herbs, and walked smiling along the sunny path back to the house.
