TOM FORD Costa Azzurra Eau de Parfum

Most Helpful Positive Review

LOVE the scent— not so much the longevity

What I really find fascinating about this fragrance is that it truly, truly is unisex! On my S.O., it smells totally made for him. It just has that musky note to it on him that screams masculine to me while still having that fresh, clean, sophisticated scent. It's not the overtly masculine COLOGNE, ...it's like an understated but super sophisticated and comfortable scent. It's not trying too hard, it just IS exceptional. That kind of feel to the scent. Not flashy or pretentious, just sophisticated and suave. But then on ME… It changes somehow. I can't even explain it. It still has that fresh and clean base with a slight sweetness, but it loses that muskiness and turns into a more sensual kind of musk. I swear it's like it morphs. I mean, you hear that each individuals personal chemistry or whatever changes the way a scent smells, but I find it especially true of this one. Perfectly unisex in all the right ways, and just smells LUX. I only have one real complaint— it doesn't last as long as I'd like it to. It's VERY strong, so a little goes a long way and I can smell it on me even with my mask on (which admittedly makes me paranoid but I appreciate how far a single spritz goes). However… it just fades away after maybe four or five hours on me. Not a big deal, really, but I have other perfumes that last far longer. But because a little goes a long way, another spritz later in the day is no biggie. All in all, this is a beautiful scent. Crisp, clean, invigorating, sophisticated, and unpretentious. Just right. I received this in return for my unbiased, honest opinion and I do my best to really test things out over a long period of time in order to give the most honest, accurate review possible :)
