Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this stuff called “Azzurra Tom Ford” lately, and I figured I’d share my little journey with y’all. It’s been a bit of a ride, let me tell you.

First off, I got my hands on this fragrance because I heard someone somewhere online say it’s like a “holiday in a bottle.” Sounded pretty neat, right? I mean, who wouldn’t want that? So, I went ahead and ordered it. My expectation is high.
When it arrived, the packaging was slick, just like you’d expect from Tom Ford. I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for good packaging, haha. Then came the moment of truth – the first spray. Man, it hit me with this sharp, sour smell, kind of like lemon rind, with a hint of something herby, maybe rosemary? And was that cardamom? It was a lot to take in, honestly. Some folks online said it’s got cypress and oak, but I don’t know about that. It smelled fresh, I’ll give it that, but also a little too intense for my liking.
I decided to wear it out a few times, just to see how it felt in different situations. One time, I wore it before going for a run. Now, I live in a pretty humid place, so I was sweating buckets. After my run, I sniffed my wrist, and the smell had changed. It was more aquatic, maybe because of the sweat mixing with it. It smelled like the beach, like driftwood and seaweed. One of the comment online say that it includes Driftwood, Seaweed, and Agarwood (Oud), maybe it’s true. Weird, but kind of cool.
I also tried wearing it to work. My colleagues didn’t say anything, but I felt like it was a bit too strong for an office setting. It’s definitely a scent that stands out, so you gotta be in the mood for that. If you like more simple perfume, maybe you should try Black Orchid, I heard that it’s a complex blend of black truffle, ylang-ylang, bergamot, maybe it’s better.
Now, here’s the thing: some days, I really like it. It feels clean and easy, especially on warmer days. But other days, it’s just too much. It’s like, you have to be in a specific mood to wear this stuff, you know? If you’re someone who likes variety, this might be a fun one to add to your collection. But if you’re looking for an everyday, go-to fragrance, this probably isn’t it.
My Final Thoughts
All in all, messing around with Azzurra Tom Ford has been an interesting experience. It’s not what I expected, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s just different. It’s like that quirky friend who’s sometimes a blast to hang out with, but sometimes you just need a break from them, haha. Would I buy it again? Hmm, probably not. But hey, it was fun while it lasted.
