A really great scent but tremendous shame that it doesn’t perform. Pretty much non-existent within 20 minutes. A shame

This is a frugal man’s Rive Gauche in my opinion. Rive Gauche runs circles around this fragrance, but you can pick this light citrus/herbal scent for less than $20 in most places that sell this. It’s a very nice light citrus fragrance that isn’t too powerful. There isn’t a powder note like Rive Gauche, and why I’d recommend this to someone that likes Fine American Blend Aftershave or Rive Gauche without the powder note. This fragrance has less mature notes which I’d say the original has because this is more focused on the citrus. I’d say 30’s, 40’s, 50’s (I’m in my 50’s but consider myself young at heart). It’s a light refreshing fragrance that is similar to most barbershop blends without the powder note. This will be a great scent to spray on after a shave. check my review of this on utube. youtu.be/yhTqO5-L0bc

I wanted to at least like this (if I couldn’t love it) because I’m always trying to add variety to my warm weather wardrobe. It’s in use over 80% of the year and I’m always on the hunt for more. Upon allowing the open to settle a moment I was ready to buy a bottle of L’Eau, but before I could get my wallet out the lavender came in I was done with it.
I showered and put on clean clothes. Money has been spent to make sure I start out fairly scent free as I’m applying fragrance to smell like something else. Lavender is everywhere, so if I want to smell like this L’Eau then why spend money on a bottle of perfume when I can just use any number of regular body washes & shampoos and/or fabric softeners in my washer/dryer. I can understand Azzaro wanting to use the most noticeable note from the original to tie in a flanker and keep the “Pour Homme” name alive. If so, give lavender a very brief cameo appearance. But after 33 years (1978-2011) it was time to let lavender go completely and give this scent a new name.
Look, this isn’t a bad fragrance, and I probably would have liked this back in the 90’s. I might have even loved it. As for 2018 all I can say is I won’t buy it, and unless you WANT to smell like you used lavender body wash and fabric softener instead of applying male fragrance I highly recommend a potential buyer test it first.

An aquatic barber shop scent, that’s how I would describe Azzaro Pour Homme L’Eau. Great for spring and summer, but could be nice for autumn as well. Although I ldo like the original Azzaro pour Homme, just as I like the hairwater my barber uses, I find them both too strong smelling to enjoy for a long period, say more than one hour. Azarro’s L’eau has a similar smell, but less sweet and pleasantly discrete. The projection is well behaved, you notice it without it seeking attention, similar to Bvlgari Aqva’s, like Amara. And it lasts long on my skin as well.
Recommended.
Guaguesak – :
How anyone can compare this to the great original Pour Homme is beyond me. Besides the Azzaro name, the two barely have anything in common.
This is more comparable to Issey Miyake Pour Homme than anything else.
Azzaro needs to stop with these pointless flankers of Pour Homme. Other than the excellent but sadly discontinued ’92 Intense, every one of them has been a disappointment.
WikiliksLexa – :
Mine has a sour animalic urine scent. Only good for a solo man. Unwearable for the office.
UPDATE: Came across the main one – Azzaro Pour Homme, which I really liked (tested in store) – now that I understand the DNA, I’m actually getting used to this Azzaro Pour Homme L’Eau – which seems to have a high-noted sour lemon sticky, light-lacquer-like fragrance – I can understand how this may be ‘Yuzu’. Hmm, … starting to get more accustomed with this one now that I’ve tried the original.
Not a regrettable buy any more – as it is something interesting, but also something to get used to. Starting to like it.
LENY – :
I have never acquired a taste for the original Azzaro pour homme, yet this fragrance fulfilled all my expectations. It’s vivid ‘Provence’ (well, maybe a little barbershop-style) feeling concotion, of zesty, crushed citrues with prominent yuzu. The herbal core of lavender and prominent geranium last, slowly but ineevitably fading with accompaniament of clean musky-woody base notes. There is a right amonut of grassy sharpness in this scent which probably disqualify it as a youngsters choice. However, it is a great summer, even vacational proposition for both young gents and mature gentlemen.
A quality for the price. An afternoon summer leisure in a bottle.
dianov – :
Very fantastic yuzu and grapefruit opening that’s sweetened by a bit of lavender, and the drydown smells like Pinaud Clubman (lavender and anise) or the original Azzaro pour Homme. Very barbershop. Great fragrance if you like the drydown of the original Azzaro pour Homme but hate the opening (like me). However, not full-bottle worthy for me due to the just ok longevity and sillage. It seems like it’s a watered down version of the original, and the opening doesn’t last long.
4/5
kravecmixail – :
Citron/Lemon and Grapefruit are embraced in a bitter, sharp, and sweet medley on top. Azzaro Pour Homme DNA comes around for the middle and base.
If you love Azzaro PH, you will love L’eau. It is for spring and summer. It makes my mind’s eye see an open air Mediterranean barber shop with proprietary shaving cream. A sunny morning and close gentleman’s shave.
This is a masculine citrus fougere that will make you feel like a king. It should impress the people around you because it is uplifting for the wearer.

Finally I found the summer version of ysl rive gauche
alexey608 – :
Smells like 50% the original Azzaro pour homme + 20% Lemon + 30% Water.
Closer to YSL Rive Gauche rather than Azzaro Pour Homme although YSL doesnt include much citrus and it is more refined.
Yet, if you like the original azzaro, sure you will like the L’Eau version. It is much more refreshing and slightly more wearable but the barbershop vintage DNA is still prominent.
I got it for 15 USD and it is good value for money. Just for personal enjoyment as I dont want to waste my YSL rive gauche.

barets89 – :
This “L’eau” flanker and the original Azzaro share a lot of similar notes with each other.
The core DNA of Azzaro Pour Homme is there in the lavender, vetiver, musk, sandalwood, and patchouli. Both scents have lemon and other citrus elements as well, but L’eau cranks up the volume on these notes so they become prominent. Or maybe “dominant” is the better word.
The opening is a citrus explosion, heavy on the lemon, grapefruit, and yuzu. Only on the drydown do I start to catch more of the earthy, musky base, but the lemon is always close by.
It’s a little reminiscent of Jaipur, but with sharper edges.
Some online sites have 100ml bottles for less than $20. I’d say it’s worth it.
persik – :
Definetely a great flanker.
It’s a nice more modern interpretation of the original Azzaro, but here the notes are much softer.
Great lavender and sandalwood notes makes this a great and safe option for hot weather.
I get vibes of Azzaro pour Homme but also reminds me of Rive Gauche.
Strong citrusy opening with lavender, followed by some flowers notes (geranio) and a top quality sandlawood that assures the transition to the final drydown with a fougére faithful vetiver/patchoili/musk plus some more woodsy notes.
I believe this will be not a panty dropper or a compliments champion. I bought it to please me. Nevertheless it’s a very safe fragrance for the summer. Citrusy/lavender opening and fougére dry down. Sillage and longevity are average.

I was surprised by Azzao L’eau, I enjoy this one quite a bit and have been reaching for it a lot lately.
The original never really did much for me. Anise-dominant fragrances have always seemed to have poor performance on my skin. I figured it was a chemistry thing.
L’eau does remind me of the original but fresher and a bit soapy. I’m surprised to not see anise in the breakdown as I swear there’s still quite a bit in this one.
I get solid performance out of this, about 6 hours, with soft but noticeable projection. Lasts up to 10-12 hours on clothes.
tonic222 – :
You want an affordable, not very aquatic, not overly citrusy, not too green but still a classy, fresh and unique summer scent? Then look no further. Azzaro Pour Homme is a masterpiece and we know it by now, but its never been a summer scent. Now Azzaro managed to create a really likable summer scent making use of exactly the same DNA of APH.
Marshalko7 – :
This one and AZZARO pour homme limited edition 2014 are almost identical …so don’t buy both…both are ok

unjuttoxy – :
glorious vetiver and citrus. Yuzu gives this a very nice spin on the traditional summer citrus aquatic that we’ve all become too accustomed to. spicyness is almost powdery and very warm, but not as in the warmth you get from winter spicy scents. overall a fantastic fragrance and very much another one that goes ignored from the house of azzaro solely for not being the original, and perhaps precisely because of the negative connotation associated with the endless stream of flankers. smells nothing like the original, and to me that’s good. when i want the original l I reach for the original. excellent price point so very little risk in trying. ’nuff said.
serg_28 – :
Dear all,
this is a fresh, subtle and elegant interpretation of the original one.
Extremely worth for the actual price.
A good option for the SS season, I would probably expected a stronger sillage and projection but for sure no one will be offended or will dislike this one.
Overall: 7/10
bums – :
Jury’s out on this. My wife tells me it’s lovely and better than many of my significantly more expensive favourite’s like Guerlain Homme, ADP Assoluta and L’Ideal Home Cologne.
I’m not so sure on the other hand. Like the Original, there is an overwhelming note in this (I think it’s the Anise, but I am no expert on notes) I really struggle with. Whilst it is far lighter and more useable than the original and even though I suspect the sillage and smell to others is better than the close up skin scent, I am just struggling with the top note in this which is just a bit much for me.
I want to like it as I keep looking for a quality cheapy to wear everyday without breaking the bank but in this respect, I am returning to Zegna Uomo and Azzaro’s own Chrome as I just feel far more comfortable with them despite suspecting this is probably a higher quality and far more unique fragrance.
If you like the original but are looking for something more useable and modern, get this without hesitation, but if, like me, you just don’t get Azzaro PH, then I suspect you won’t be totally comfortable with this either!
wari195 – :
The opening is a big burst of citrus, a bar of soap, and a sprinkling of anise. The bar of soap accord quickly fades (thank goodness), then for 8 hours it’s crisp, juicy, fruity. An herbal floral accord, and a well behaved sweetness. The woods pretty much stay back stage, but I reckon they are there, keeping the lighter notes going strong. Lasts a heck of a long time for a citrus scent.
Wedaalusa – :
L’Eau di Azzarò è un eau de toilette ma io personalmente lo classifico come Eau De Cologne, mi spiego meglio: possiede longevità e sillage tipico delle colonie per questo secondo il mio modesto parere esso può essere indossato anche e soprattutto le sere quando l’estate è in essere. Le sue note espiradate di testa con limone, yuzu e pompelmo aprono il “volo de profumo” in maniera fresca per poi lasciare posto al cuore di LAVANDA che rende puliti all’olfatto. Labili tutte le altre note anche perchè dopo un’oretta il prodotto è quasi impercettibile.

Feels heavy on the opening notes but softens into a green ozone and lavender sent. Very light but large silage. Easy to wear maybe I’ll buy it. Cool smooth one.

It is a great smelling cologne for the modern gentlemen, not old-fashion or dated at all, if anything…made for the more responsible young guys and over 25 public. Great value for what you pay, it smells and remains fresh for a long time, it gives you energy and make you feel clean during the whole day, great job with this one….do not understand why this has not been hyped..it deserves it…The best azzaro homme flanker I have smelled so far…no doubts…

feu258speagoessenda – :
Not to wear if you do not like the original Azzaro pour homme classic. Especially as it does stay on your skin & clothes for a very long time. 14 hours up to now. It is not strong though. Do not expect people to say O you are wearing Azzarobut your nose & brain will have it smelling for a very long time. The start off is 100% citrus to become Azzaro classic the whole day true. Definitily quality stuff. Ilike Azzaro classic on other men. It is a very masculine fragrance. Thing is, now I know it isn’t a frag for me. 10/10 for the fragrance & its lasting. 5/10 for the bottle which is very ugly! Same as for Azzaro classic but 100% hard plastic to show a yellowish juice yet colour. I guess it was made to be practise for guys to have it in their lugage & sport bags. It does not look nice among other bottles though. Same for the packaging which is some fade grey colour box. Not attractive at all but again; very recommended for those that wear the classic version & look for its summer version.
spartak_anapa – :
This one smells great. I really enjoy the citrus top but it is very succinct. Then the star anise or yuzu comes in and is a real winner. Like others mention, it is similar to Rive Gauche. It’s a great office scent and I’d say pleasing to others around you, but I’m curious where Azzaro ranks among other companies as far as using quality ingredients and putting out a quality product. I just feel the smell is not as smooth or distinguished as other brands. Almost a little choppy or burred. It stil smells good even though it may not perform as well as other top notch perfumes. Pricing is right and I’ll continue to keep in the rotation
iamvtpkucpc – :
Nice, not offending scent with good longevity. Sits on me 8 hours easily on hot summer day. Price is a steal.
Edit: reminds original Azzaro pour Homme little bit, only sweeter more citrusy and less earthy.
выф – :
You guys are spot on with your reviews of this fragrance it’s a nice masculine mature spring & summer scent I’m in the US so this is relatively unknown this for me was a blind buy never seen it in any store only online I’m a regular user of chrome the original chrome is in my top 10 so since I like and own the entire chrome lineup I’d figure I would give this a try it’s a good scent I wouldn’t say it’s the greatest but I like it it’s just too lite and fades away in maybe around 3 hours or less starts off kicking though but tones down within the first 30 to 40 minutes but really l was hoping to get something that smelled like a combination of original chrome and issey miyake but it doesn’t smell like neither one I thought it would’ve because I seen the yuzu note listed and the word leau I’ll still give it a like and 6/10 it’s really affordable so I didn’t mind spending the $25 on it if you like lite close up type fragrances it’s worth a try
yarik68 – :
Similar to the original, but much fresher, more modern and more subtle.
It’s a relatively simple and straightforward fragrance, but very well blended and not overly simplistic or linear.
Of all it’s stages, the dry down is my favorite as it reminds me more of the original APH and carries quite a bit of depth and complexity.
It’s an ideal office wear due to it’s moderate projection and non-offensive scent. Works well with suit and tie as it exudes an air of sophistication and maturity.
For this reason the recommended age, in my view, would be 25 and up. But that shouldn’t deter the younger folks from trying it. They might be surprised.
Longevity is commendable for an inexpensive fresh scent. On my skin, it varies a lot and is very dependent on outside temperatures. In high heat, I could detect hints of it even after 12h, but the usual wear is around 6 to 8 hours.
And last but not least, the price – bit over 20 eur. for 100ml bottle is an absolute steal.
Highly recommended!
anatol1987 – :
“Lighter” or “sporty” version of Azzaro Pour Homme …..
Spring, summer attire would be better suited to a more casual, relaxed day.
Returns to Azzaro Pour Homme fragrance during the evaporation, but makes it fresher
so youthful, energetic radiance lends owner, and yet full of elegance …….. Great composition!
Nice alternative to the original, another day, another mood ….
Unbeatable price !!!

I purchased this on a blind buy and was very pleased. I receive many compliments when wearing this Spring cologne. Great for office and day wear.
anton211 – :
This is a gem – and it is underrated which makes it even better.
The original is too dated for my taste. L’eau however is great for warm weather or sunny days. Yuzu brings freshness and keeps it light. Yet the lavendar and sandalwood give it an umistakably masculine edge.
This is ‘barbershop light’ and as such the perfect fragrance right after shower on a sunny Sunday morning.
I love it and will buy again.
rafis – :
Easily a nice ‘office’ style mens fragrance.
Sits close to skin. Mildly noticeable.
Big blast of yuzu/citrus at the beginning and then way too quickly fades away to a subtle spice mix.
Disappointing. Just doesn’t last long enough! requires frequent top-ups!
Sova1007 – :
very close to azzaro original! and it’s not lasting at all!
News_Pain – :
I really like this one. Never tried original Azzaro PH but this flanker is pretty nice. Opening is citrusy but it fades away after maybe 3 minutes. I might be the only one, but I get this sweet vanila middle note mixed with anise. Also, can’t get anything aquatic about this one.
Got 100 ml. tester for 10 euros shipped. It MUST be one of the best super cheap scents.
Valguskera – :
I received this as an Xmas gift and am I glad to receive it. I would never have tried this otherwise. Flankers are almost always very disappointing and I was expecting a weak Azzaro PH, but this is a rare flanker that borrows from the original and still manages to have its own identity.
I am suprised to see no spicy notes listed above as this is what makes this fragrance to me. I can definitely pick up anise almost all the way through and maybe some cardamom along the way. The opening is a pleasant citrus, the heart is a watery floral and spice mix… unique and beautiful, drydown is lavender and anise to me. Performance wise I wish this lasted longer and project further but it is definitely worth reapplying.
Great summer scent and since I live in a warm climate this is even more wearable than the original.
Scent : 17/20

Blind bought this based on reviews. It is excellent for hot weather; my shot to the chest lasts well over 6 hours. It’s similar to APH in that it dries down to lavender, but citrus–especially grapefruit and yuzu–are more upfront. Grapefruit actually hangs around on me a bit, then I get lavender with background notes floating in and out: carnation, vetiver, patchouli… even some lemon.
It’s a sophisticated, complex drydown. APH is one of my very first and very favorite scents. IMO this is better, falling short only in sillage (and I think it would border on acrid if it were stronger). A terrific frag on any terms, but a pretty astounding value. Much better than your run of the mill aquatics and citruses. Will be great in my warm day work rotation with Lalique HommageALH, Cerruti 1881 and Guerlaine GH. Now THAT’S what I’m talkin’ bout.
Scent: 9/10
Sillage: 6/10
Longevity: 7/10
Luzga – :
A great fragrance for warm weather.
A very clean and fresh version of APH,but fruitier & less harsh than APH Summer edition 2013 & the lavender/geranium notes are very indentifiable.
Lasts well on my skin,at least 4-5 hours,sillage is moderate.
GestKa4 – :
A nice, elegant and well-balanced frag, perfect for a hot summer day. Very modern with just a hint of a good old barbershop.
The opening is sharp and fruity, with familiar Azzaro metallic note. It quickly becomes warmer, fuller and more rounded and soapy, thanks to lavender – but still dominated by yuzu. Towards the drydown, L’Eau is woodier and drier. Yuzu plays the main part till the end (about 7 hours on my skin).
Longevity is a bit above the average, sillage is just OK. This cologne surely has presence without being loud or vulgar.
In my humble opinion, L’Eau d’Azzaro is far better than much more famous L’Eau d’Issey.Try it. It’s so easy to fall in love with it.
blacracle – :
I live in Cairo Egypt for the time being, I hot dry harsh weather is dominent here. Although I do have lots of perfumes and would like to have more, I find myself always reaching to summer frags to go along with the weather. Usually L’eau D’issey is my best choice but as it is a crisp and dry frag I had to have something a bit softer. Azzaro L’eau is a good option. Good for everyday use, very vesatile, a notch softer than L’eau D’issey, although the longsvity is not as much.
TedeFeesbeads – :
I just blind-bought this fragrance from the drugstore, and I am happy I did. It’s like YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme and Azzaro Chrome had a baby and they called it Azzaro Pour Homme L’Eau.
It opens up magnificently with a citrus blast and something green. The lemon note has a little bit of sweetness. Then in the drydown, I smell lavender coming in, and an unlisted note of anise. When I sensed the anise, I immediately thought of YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme. This fragrance combines the barbershop vibe of YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme and the citrusy nuances of Azzaro Chrome to create a citrusy/spicy/floral scent.
I’m glad I spotted a bottle of this because I have been looking for it for a while. My bottle is a bit screwed up because the cap has a big ass scratch on it, which tells me that it has been opened and returned, as the box was not wrapped in plastic either. But whatever, all that matters is that this was a successful blind buy.
Guys, if you see this in any discounter, grab a bottle and enjoy. It is very, very good considering its relatively low price tag.
Аанняя – :
This fragrance is bitter-sweet with a DNA of the old Azzaro PH. But, you obviously can’t say it’s dated. I’d say it’s a fresh fougere – it’s full of aromatic lavender, patchouli also is here but much lighter than the one in original. And it has no heavy woods – the sandalwood in it is rather light, crisp and bright.
Longevity is around 6 hours which I find as a good result – it’s a fresh fragrance all in all.
I like it. And I really think it’s a forgotten and unique one.

A nice fresh and a legitimate son of the legendary Azzaro PH with enhanced attributes in compliance with the modern time.
The citrus presence is more than I usually prefer but not too much , not very impressive in start neither a bad one as it freshens you up in a hot and humid day but I like the musky drydown more than the citric start and heart.
All in all a reasonably pleasant fragrance and a lot better than the aquatics , summers and Guilties.
simakova – :
I love the original Azzaro PH but was disappointed with the longevity on the current formulation. L’Eau takes the best parts of the original, gives it a citrus twist, turning it instantly into one of the most wearable non aquatic summer frags ever. As edge42 mentioned below, this is powerhouse lite. It starts off with a nice citrus blast,and then the familiar Azzaro lavender and vetiver comes into play in the heart and base notes. Star Anise is not listed but I get it in the dry down stages along with the vetiver and patchouli. Good projection for about 5 hours and stays on the skin a good 8 hours plus with 4-6 sprays. If you have any sort of interest in the original Azzaro PH, you really should check it out. This is a summer flanker done RIGHT!! This deserves more respect than it currently gets and if you’re looking for a great versatile summer fragrance without going into aquatic “calone clone” territory, look no further. I love it. 8.5/10.
EDIT- It has been about 40 C here the past few days and I find myself reaching for L’Eau more than any other fragrance in my wardrobe. Just so comfortably masculine and fresh smelling and I can smell it on me all day. I definitely prefer this to the current formulation of Azzaro Pour Homme by far. Try this one folks, you wont be disappointed.
Wongobgow – :
I absolutely love Azzaro Pour Homme Leau! It has become one of my go to fragrances because of its simplicity and versatility(not to say that this it is an overly simple fragrance).
Leau is very masculine and yet refined at the same time. This fragrance doesn’t scream man, rather it is a calm, suave and professional voice always reminding you of its obvious manhood.
I have successfully used Leau year round, day and night, work and play, and have had no problems whatsoever(keep in mind it is still meant more so for Spring and Summer due to its brightness).
It is one of the few fragrances that I get compliments on thanks to its projection and longevity (6-7 hours, projecting for 4 on me).
If you want a decent priced fragrance that is versatile, gentle and still masculine then Leau is hard to pass up!

Powerhouse-lite!
Why more people haven’t tried this one is a mystery to me. This is very good! Smells like a blend of Chanel Pour Monsieur and YSL Rive Gauche, but slightly brighter, more citrusy, and with hints of the original grand-daddy Azzaro Pour Homme throughout. Plus it has good lasting power which Pour Monsieur is greatly lacking.
Don’t let the ‘L’eau’ part of the name fool you, this is no aquatic – it’s very aromatic fougere, very powerhouse-lite. I can see this working great in the summer, but it’s a bit of a chameleon… because of it’s fresh yet strong masculine composition it can really work anytime as a day scent.
If you like any of these – Chanel Pour Monsieur, YSL Rive Gauche or the original Azzaro Pour Homme, this is a must try.
Apsolon – :
More summer than Azzaro Summer 2013.It still remembers the original, but is softer and discrete. Very good.

A delicious summer version of the classic Azzaro pour homme.
8/10
almaznyak1979 – :
A fresher, more modern and perhaps “more civilised” version of the bona fide classic that is ApH, and clearly a chip off the old block. The yuzu is a nice touch adding a touch of chill and glassiness to the heavyweight DNA from the original – plus the frosted glass bottle is much cooler than the ugly bottle of the original :)) Sillage and longevity are more than acceptable too, as it dries down into something very similar to the original ApH. Think of L’Eau as being to ApH what Kouros Fraicheur is to Kouros itself and you won’t go too far wrong. Another cracking Azzaro for summer, or any other season for that matter, which is also excellent value for money.
This one is the ApH flanker to get, and dare I say it, may even be better than the original. Definitely recommended!

To my nose: 75% Azzaro P.H ( soft ) + 25% Azzaro Chrome. Good choice for spring and summer.
Polny Diletant – :
although i do not like last years’ fresh fragrances, this one stands on top of them…it strongly reminds the original but fresher and cooler. It has a good projection and longevity and a true flanker of its father. It has the manly quality of the original but is uplifting and unique as a fresh summer scent. The yuzu and lemon are so obvious without reminding L’eau d’issey….definitely for guys 30 and up, not because is old fashion but because everything goes toward the original which is a more mature perfume. This is the mature fresh fragrance for those that they want to smell fresh but different.

If azzaro por homme were a man, than l’eau is the same man only 25 lbs. lighter..very similar to me in its original scent, but much lighter on it’s trail. it is aromatic a safer scent for men..nice and with a bit more citrus you will smell a similar aroma of the original azzaro just a little milder in its projection, testing it now for longevity, i really love azzaro pour homme and i have always adjusted that scent by just how much i applied..so not really sure if would need to buy this, when I run out then maybe a wiser choice for replacing if you do not have the original and love this type of fragrance then not a bad choice at all ..there may be some slight differences but my first reaction was the same only tamer version or toned down a bit. but yet the magic of azzaro pour homme is still present, I think if you like the orginal you will enjoy this as well as you will recognize that footprint. I think for me , the reformulation of azzaro may have lost some of its opening of the orginal version, but this one to me might be the answer as what it does offer is intriguing and appealing. I think try it and see or maybe just consider it as it’s own fragrance and you may be more pleased.

Well, for those of you who love Narciso Rodriguez for him, this fragrance is a cheaper solution if you can’t afford NR for him. 😉

I find it to be quite strong despite the fact that it’s “L’eau” version of the original Azzaro cologne. It’s s bit soapy at first just like everybody else said, and it has a noticeable but pleasant bitterness throughout. It’s still woody and manly with a freshness that isn’t sweet nor watery clean. A bit different from what I normally collect in my wardrobe.

It came to my wardrobe before the traditional which I just knew, without give a real try. Now that I have the last one, this L’Eau feels like a VERY diluated version, which looks really meaningless to me, since the original Azzaro pour Homme is definitely not that bomb-like scent of 70’s or 80’s I thought would be. Some watered scents turn to be better and more wearable, but this, related to the original, even being much more light, is just boring and uninteresting.

Very similar to YSL Rive Gauche pour homme, the same soapiness, but Azzaro L’Eau is much brighter.

At first it’s too soapy but later the dry down is wonderful, a relax version of Azzaro Pour Homme. The longevity is as the original version. I really love it

Brilliant!!! Refreshing, warm and so nostalgic. Ignore all the “Sport” fragrances and give this one a
