Azzaro Now Men for men

Mostly like crushed leaves and cut grass, sharp with a bitter edge. Underneath that, warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family.

It opens on cardamom and rose, moves through tea, green notes and violet, and settles on litchi, woodsy notes and suede.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• rose: the flower itself, landing anywhere between jammy and fresh green depending on the variety used

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
