FYI, Mr Corticchiato was born and raised amongst orange trees in the coastal region of Azemmour. Obviously, that was the inspiration for this perfume here. Hence the name. What makes this more than 'just another ode to the orange tree' is the way this wears on skin and its sophisticated progression over time.
Azemour has a spicy citrus opening, with a very realistic orange smell. A pleasant first impression, somewhat classical cologne-ish, but not quite amazing. Not yet, that is. The development that follows is what makes this stand out from the rest of the spicy-cologne genre. The whole warms up a bit with a green-resin-oakmoss base. The cumin note is kind of strong, maybe that is not to everyone's liking. In my opinion it fits in perfectly with both the oranges from the opening and the greens in the end.
The result is a casual fresh cologne with sophisticated plot. Again, a very successful release from Parfum d'Empire. Highly recommended.
