Incense kisses the Caribbean Sea...

Tom Ford is a guarantor for noble, mature fragrances in the luxury price segment. Also "Costa Azzurra" confirms this rule.
Definitely unisex, whereby several ladies, according to their own questioning, would prefer this one on a man.

Word about the fragrance:
My chosen title already reveals that there is something aquatic and smoky behind the aura of this fragrance. However, there is also a noticeable citrus fruit mix, which provides a very unobtrusive, fresh touch. A delicate lavender note is also worth mentioning. In my opinion an excellent "holiday fragrance" and only wearable in summer. Both during the day and in the evening. 8.5/10

Shelf life:
Unfortunately I could only fix a moderate durability on me and as I see, I am not alone with this deficiency. In these price regions there must be simply more in it. 6/10

Sillage:
With such a scent I expect a rather reserved, soft Sillage and none that hits the hammer on the coffin nail. Tom Ford has succeeded in this to a large extent. 8/10

Flacon:
Extravagant, stylish and aesthetic at the same time. Like all Private Blend flacons, an unbeatable 10/10.

Conclusion:
Up to now, I have worn it exclusively at the Côte d'Azur (in the city, on the yacht, at the promenade etc.), for this climate, it was perfectly suitable. As mentioned, it is a classic scent for holidays and beach. This Tom Ford knows how to convince in his field. However, the durability disturbs me enormously, so he will probably not move in again in 2021. The competition is too tempting for that.
