What a disillusionment. It is not like what I would require from a tangerine/orange scented cologne. Too heavy vibes, certainly for elderly men. Not light at all; pushy.

Olive Trees with the Alpilles in the Background by Vincent Van Gogh 1889

A. O. I feel more like aromatic citrus than a typical cyprus.
Classic citrus opening, with an orange and sweet tangerine combo that turns out to be the most natural and charming.
Evolves towards a landscaped neroli heart with orange blossom that further enhances the evolution. The suede background, sweet and comfortable to wear so typical of other fragrances of the house makes it predictable but at the same time, it is still exquisite. Also during the drying the woody side of cypress is appreciated very well that combined with my beloved oak moss transports you to the depths of a forest with a complex and deep aroma.
Totally unisex, with very good duration and moderate projection, at times subtle, it makes it ideal for daytime use.
I like to use it on sunny days and typical spring fresh airs as it gives me the feeling of sitting in a typical Andalusian patio surrounded by flowers, orange trees and a fountain of water that splashes, resulting to be the most evocative and comforting.

This is citrus-themed but in a new way, not astringent or antiseptic in the usual way citrus is presented (splish! splash! tingle!) its warm, mellow, soft and rich. You can smell warm dust in the air, waxy leaves of orange trees, a salty, tangy dry wind… Im getting flashbacks of climbing trees in the Moroccan sunshine even though I’ve never set foot in Africa. Parfum d’Empire is the best perfume company out there by far, each one of their works are treasures and this is definitely one of the best.

Aezmour is a robust, chypre masculine composition, which kept me because I found it peculiar. It is a little bit salty and dirty due to iodic marine notes that is not typical for orange generic fragrance. I agree that it is not for blind buying, but for one test is not possible to appreciate it. The more I wear it, the more like it.
Po4tolen57zZz – :
Another strange concoction from Parfum D’Empire! This is a very bitter citrus scent — orange rind with a big dose of woody greens and powdery spices. It’s unexpected and hard to describe. Dry, not juicy, but I think that gives it some staying power. Really wet, juicy citrus scents seem to fade fast, all top-notes puffing away in a single burst. This lingers for hours and hours on my skin. Seven hours in and I’m still getting little hints of it on each inhale. It doesn’t seem to radiate very far — I’d pin it at moderate to low sillage. Definitely work-safe.
I would NOT recommend blind-buying this, but if you want a different citrus scent for the warmer months, you might want to try a sample. I didn’t like it at all when I first tested it back in October, November… but we’ve had a spate of record high temperatures this February, and I’ve found that this fragrance performs much better when it’s warm enough to open up and bloom on your skin.

This perfume is all about oakmoss and citrus peels (and not the flesh!) on my skin. So bitter. However it has a velvety softness.
No tangerine,clementine,cypress,floral notes or pepper. Also a little bit headache-inducing.

This is now my favourite ever citrus. To combine orange with galbanum and oakmoss in this exact way, an echo of Vent Vert, is genius. Beautiful, accomplished, high quality, very pleasurable to wear. 10/10 xx

I have had a full bottle of Azemour for two years, which I bought after I tested it and loved it. I had forgotten it in the back of my shelf until I decided to crack it open a month ago.
Then…heaven. I almost haven’t worn any other perfume since. I wear it every weekday morning. It’s orangey bright, fresh bitter and spicy, then turns to dusty and mossy. A fresh chypre basically.It made me remember how much I love the combination of citrus and moss.
I find it perfect for autumn, but I think it works for any season, as the spices give it some warmth.
Longevity is good, sillage probaby low – so it’s office appropriate. In fact, it’s quite austere, so I haven’t worn it on weekends or going out in the evening. Having said that, at the moment Azemour for me is joy in a bottle. will probably be wearing it for many months to come.

How odd. It smells like orange… and salt. A very dry, restrained orange for men, I think.

I must start by saying that I’m not a citrus lover, not even by far. I ordered a sample of this only because there’s oakmoss listed. And I’m really glad I did. This is so refreshing: it doesn’t smell like spilling lemonade on oneself, nor like eating orange-flavored candies. This is a complicated, elegant perfume, perfectly blended. It smells of green branches caressed by the wind.
I don’t get the masculine vibe other reviewers mentioned: I feel quite comfortable wearing it.
My conclusion is: Azemour, mon amour!
Finist – :
A citrus chypre that will surprise you. Don’t expect an orange blossom fragrance for it’s certainly not that. I pick up no sweetness at all. I’ve never sampled anything else like this. It’s a spicy, (cumin and coriander are prominent) sometimes green, mostly dry chypre with a touch of bitterness that comes and goes. The orange note underpins the entire life of the fragrance, but is never cloying. The dryness has a dustiness to it that makes me think of dry hot winds blowing over a semi-arid landscape. This was a blind swap for me, and it’s one of those fragrances that needs a few full wearings to grasp. Today is day two, and I’m feeling respect for the perfumer for creating something so unique. Very elegant and sophisticated, and a great choice in very hot, humid weather. The dryness is refeshing! Unisex but leans more masculine. Sllage is moderate, longevity 10 hours.

What a lovely sweet but zesty citrus fragrance. You can almost taste the fruit. Yes, its that good. The cypress and oak moss really work beautifully with citrus. I smell the empire ubiquitous hay note. The hay note seems to work well here providing the fragrance with more body. There are lots of notes in this and they successfully produce a citrus fragrance with good longevity. A rare beast indeed. A good solid unisex fresh zesty citrus fragrance.
DarkGenesis – :
this stuff is by far my fave Pd’E and among my absolute top orange frags and even a solid chypre. i love the dichotomy of juicy & dusty at the same time! many aspects of orange are present, including a convincingly sharp and badass petitgrain that sits beautifully with the slowly developed woody notes toward the end. the green comes from Corticchiato’s herbal wizardry and he has produced somethong creative and so wearable. kudos

Azemour Les Orangers starts with lots and lots of zesty citrus notes: sweet neroli, sour and zesty orange peel and a hint of spice underneath. As the scent develops it becomes more green and grapefruity than orangy. I smell fir, oakmoss and some geranium in the background. There’s still lots of juicy lemon and orange fruit notes floating on top. In the drydown the hay notes are prominent, the scent becomes a bit dryer and dustier.
Sillage and longevity are moderate.
The top notes are great and juicy, but the drydown does not compute with my skin chemistry. Fir seems to develops into something really nasty on my skin. It is not too prominent in this scent though– but still too much for me to wear. I sense a tiny bit of ambroxan in the drydown as well.
Try this one if you like fresh juicy orange scents. I’m not sure if I would classify this one as unisex, it smells quite masculine to me. Or maybe I just want to smell this on a man…
Xeroxkyhio – :
Opens with realistic sweet oranges. The smell of oranges is very washed out though: no zest, no aroma. I wish they would’ve add some sour or tart notes to it to balance it out, because it’s faint, sweet and flat. It also smells like orange candle on me.
I prefer dry-down more. Green chypre shows up and balance the fragrance. To be honest, I don’t like this as much as I would like to.

Garden of Orange/Citrus
I’m a loss of words…nothing bad nothing great to say about ALO…It is a fresh, orangey/citrus, bright composition…easy going and great for daytime wear during summer or hot weather. It is better than the average fresh/citrusy eau de cologne type of composition that every perfume house seems compelled to have in their line up.
I’m greeted with an array of orange notes (fruit and flower), neroli, cypress, and pinch of rose (but not rosy, if you can understand it…just a soft rose without making the composition rosy)…I also get a plum accord (I understand there is no plum scent per se… there is a sweetness in ALO that smells plummy).
I can see the Italian influence here…the kind of composition I would wear under a hot Sicilian sun in the middle of summer…it is a nice fragrance…but nothing special…nothing that would make me set money aside to hurry and buy it over others in this category…I’d say ALO is “nice” like that “nice” boy/girl who is good looking but lacks the spirit/character/energy to cross the boyfriend/girlfriend line…
Though unisex, I think it may be more interesting and appealing to girls.
ALO smells natural and the quality of the oils seems to be very good based on the silage and duration I get from ALO (above average on both).
I give it a 5/10
I don’t love it but I don’t dislike it. I just find it uninterestingly. I’m sure it will find its followers.
I’ll keep my money for something more interesting to come along in this summer/hot weather fragrance category.

What has happened here? Reformulation? Gutted.
I had a sample a while back, part used, that I received in a swap. There was only a little left, but what there was smelled lovely – the same kind of strong orange found in Eau des Merveilles but rather than going down a sultry amber orange gourmand type route, my dregs of my sample were richer, with a suede and mossy nature, chypre scents, a green note..it was good.
Now recently when looking at some new scents I noticed everywhere was out of stock of PdE scents. And I heard rumblings of repackaging and reformulation. I rang a couple of stockists and they confirmed – all products withdrawn due to “refreshing the line”…warning bells ring…
Well today my sample arrived, different style packaging to old one. Excited I sprayed it straight on. And I am sorry but this is just awful to me now. Cumin cumin, curry powder, gone off orange, more cumin.
What happened to the rich succulent citrus, the suede and hay and moss with the slight bite of pepper? This smells like I have over seasoned my curry and attempted to madk the fact by spraying an old bottle of Eau Des Merveilles round the room.I could cry. So glad I got the sample and not a FB. And worried as I had old samples of equistrius and cuir ottoman which I was going to buy but if these too have changed…disappointed

In feel it reminds me of my much cherished Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune. Fresh and zesty but with substance. I love it.

Marc-Antoine Corticchiato has managed to convince me on several occasions he´s a wizard at composing perfumes. I don´t consider it to be an overblown statement, taking into account Mr Corticchiato´s impressive body of work, notably fragrances like “Cuir Ottoman”, “Ambre Russe”, “Eau de Gloire”, ”Aziyadé”, “Fougere Bengale”, or “Wazamba”, to name just a few. His are complex, well-thought-out perfumes that take their wearer on an olfactory as well as emotional journey. Some journeys resemble a smooth ride while others a dizzying rollercoaster. If I were to make a “best-of” list of Corticchiato´s fragrances, “Azemour Les Orangers” would undoubtedly feature near the very top of such a list.
“Azemour Les Orangers” is an olfactory poem, a poignant tribute to orange groves in the Kingdom of Morocco, where Marc-Antoine Corticchiato was born and grew up. The top of the fragrance is pleasantly citrusy. Instead of being sour, the citrus opening exudes a hint of sweetness, courtesy of an orange-tangerine combination. In the heart, an orange blossom note helps to preserve the delicate sweetness of the scent. Simultaneously, a pinch of salt is added to the composition, thus evoking the aroma of an orange grove by the sea. In the drydown, oak moss emerges and the chypre character of the fragrance becomes unmistakeable.
In this reviewer´s opinion, “Azemour Les Orangers” is the ultimate daydreamers´ delight. This fragrance makes you want to set out on a journey and experience a crisp spring morning in a Moroccan orange grove for yourself. However, I suspect Mr Corticchiato´s perfume is a lot better than the real McCoy. Enjoy the ride!

Amazing! Parfum D’`Empire surprises me for its outstanding creations. Azemour reached the height of its production. Simply a wonderful fragrance, perfectly balanced between freshness of citrus and ardor of the spices. A masterpiece

Please correct the name of the perfume : “Azemour les Orangers” not “Oranges”. There is a difference between the fruit and the tree, which supposes using orange blossoms or Neroli.
lexaglu – :
I’m new to perfume terminology, so bear with me. Very crisp, sharp, green scent. Also very nostalgic for some reason. I like it very much, but I think it is better for men. Les Oranges would smell wonderful on a man.
Buganomma – :
Parfum D’Empire is an excellent house.
Azemour, a perfume is harmonious, reconciles his side chypre, more mature, classic with natural aromas of fruit, orange juice comes so natural it seems, touch of tangerine, citrus lemon, all the measure.
The chypre touch semi smoked by cypress, moss creating a golden elegant and refined.
Near perfection this perfume and I think that will appeal to everyone, even those who are not adept at classical.
vadimdon – :
A lovely soft citrus with a delicious waxy quality, not unlike furniture polish, but in a good way. It also reminds me of the smell of Indian cotton textiles in Indian shops – a dye or sizing in the fabric or a kind of incense maybe. It’s a very soft, fresh laundry smell. An ephemeral orange with suede and green notes underneath.

171) All a tree
Marc-Antoine Corticchiato likes to work his perfumes in accordance with its own history and memories. He signed this azemour in memory of Azemour orange trees of the Azemmour city in Morocco. He overlappings fine smelling layers like an olfactive mille-feuilles, the bark, pulp, leaves, wood and even almost the roots of the Mediterranean tree.
Azemour therefore begins with a burst of citrus in a rather traditional registry, but highly colorful and vibrant: tangerine, orange, grapefruit, lemon, with a pinch of spices that are well placed to give them more depth and personality: coriander ,cumin and pepper.
Then a very special little squeaky notes of blackcurrant bud, emerges, coated with an intense honey, and just make this animal dimension, almost disturbing, that personally delights me. In the background, Azemour becomes a intensive re-writed version of the Eau d’Orange Verte with its downy oak moss and lukewarm notes of hay, dry and dense.
A good example of Cologne, carved into the rock, and after its while innocent opening freshness, reveals under bark a beautiful and attractive fleshy side.
All the creations of Marc-Antoine Corticchiato have a perfect longevity and diffusion, more a very decent price (in Europe).

This is one of my favorites! If you were to ask me if I cared for each of the notes individually, I would be pretty hohumm. Save for maybe oak moss which is unfortunately is very difficult to pull off in a fragrance for a woman without smelling like an old bag or a dirty hippy. Together, however, is the prefect balance of sweet, earthy, flirty, and elegant. Something about the woody notes and orange flower make this otherwise earthy scent very classy and elegant. The fresh orange scents give it some spunk and keep it from smelling like an old book. It reminds me of the very best orange and cedar incense before it’s burned. The kind that you buy for the scent lingering to the incense stick and are disappointed when you burn it because the lovely ambrosia turns to smoke. It lasts pretty well. It’ll get you to afternoon tea or coffee, but not to happy hour. Plan accordingly and bring the bottle with you.
Maiklz – :
Azemour is my favorite scent from Parfum D’Empire, It manages to cover every aspect of the orange. You can smell the glorious juicy fruit with its sweet richness, you get the leaves and the orange blossom… So beautiful and poetic almost like classical music.
And If this wasn’t enough you get loads of moss and some suede in the dry down, it couldn’t be better, I like to think this is a modern take on the idea behind Sous le Vent.
If you are looking for a good chypre for the summer, look no further.

MalePersonalty – :
As I can see we all so far share our love for this little jewel. No doubts Azemour is well-made and manages to have a retro feel combined with a modern twist. It smells delicious!
Looking at my perfume cabinet I seem to have a deep attraction towards African-themed perfumes (Timbuktu, Idole, Wazamba, Ouarzazate, L’air du desert marocain and Chergui…) and this is no exception… As soon as I sprayed it on my wrist I got a yummy orange and pepper whiff that fascinated my senses. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of originality but great quality and well-accomplished you know… it is sometimes hard to find summery notes coalescing and staying and staying and never getting over the top cloying. This lasts a loooooong time like all the Parfums d’Empire I’ve had (this is something to be mentioned for all of them have outstanding projection and lasting power)
But surprisingly it is after some minutes… half an hour perhaps on me… that the heart of the perfume shows all its splendour and musty smells show up. This is where the retro feel invades… all I can think of at this moment is “chypre” and good old perfumes driven to present and made modern by the brilliant hand/nose of Corticchiato. My personal taste is far from oranges and oakmoss and perhaps it would never get to a top ten fragrance contest to me but believe me this is full bottle worthy and one of the very best achieved in its style.

I got this one blind. Not very smart, I know, but “Les Oranges” and “Chypre” was all it took. When I sniffed it first I was so disappointed I wanted to cry…It smelled like someone forgot couple of oranges in the old grandma closet. But…I was wrong. I should learn by now to appreciate the complex, well made fragrances and give them time to breathe and enchant. And enchant this one did: It opens with the most delicious, yummy oranges, that you just want to eat it, but then Azemour develops into a classy chypre–dusty and subdued. That was the part that put me off initially, but now when I gave it time it turned into a very sophisticated orangy oakmoss. This one is definitely unique and not your run of the mill orange. Very versatile as well: classy suaree of starving artists, or weekend in Florida, or taking trash out in your pajamas, Azemour will be appropriate either way. I am now very happy with my blind buy.
