Azurée by Estée Lauder

With Azuree I won’t be able to be fully impartial. Green, large eyes, with very long eyelashes that together give off one of those looks that at times can make it hard not to roll your eyes and at the same time remain absorbed as if it were a miracle. The young woman I’m talking about has one of the most beautiful faces I’ve ever seen: clear, with well-defined features, which together definitely combine to perfection. Best of all, she is charming in her manner and efficient in her work as an administrative assistant. She is surely not perfect but to my pride and dismay, I usually get nervous in her presence because to me she seems so. From time to time I see her for work where she earns her living and I have almost always noticed she wears perfume (Yes, the antenna that turns on by itself once you get into this little world of scents) but recently I noticed a new fragrance that added to my confusion when seeing her. Finally, when I asked her about it she told me it is Azuree, a gift from her mom. At that moment I did perceive a green ensemble in which it was relatively easy to detect vetiver but I couldn’t go further because the situation didn’t lend itself to it and I felt a bit embarrassed. I managed to get a sample that indeed recalls countryside smells but within a sober composition. I don’t perceive a simple opening nor a note that stands out above another and I like that a lot. It’s not easy to detect notes (Except the mentioned vetiver), I can’t find the rose anywhere but it does have a very well-crafted floral background but always behind the grass, fragrant and strong. It’s true that it has an earthy imprint that affirms the character of the fragrance. Projection and longevity quite good. It can indeed come across as a mature scent with character but which curiously I see as easy to wear without fuss or “femme fatale” mannerisms. Ok, I said I wasn’t going to be impartial for reasons you can guess but it’s true that personally I don’t see the need for that excessive posturing to know how to wear perfumes with character nor to be beautiful for everything to suit you. There are women approaching their 50s who with one or two inexpensive perfumes and a lot of attitude (The kind, not the disdainful kind) reaffirm you in thinking that there is beauty in all women and whoever can’t see it is missing out on a lot. In short, Azuree does deserve a try and I highly recommend it

Nothing more to add to LaDameDeNoir’s review. Azureé is simply a delicious chypre, textbook, old-school. The kind that, unfortunately, they don’t make anymore. A green, herbal beauty in a bottle. Good longevity and more than acceptable sillage. If you like green chypres, don’t hesitate, go for it!!

Masterful and superb, powerful, earthy and forceful, it lasts for hours and hours on the skin. It would be in the style of Clinique’s Elixir… that kind of mature perfume with character that has the ability to affect your mood. A true relic from the house. Hopefully they don’t discontinue it!!

I’m not going to be impartial about Azuree. I remember a girl with huge green eyes and lashes that take your breath away, with a sharp, perfect face, plus she’s charming and efficient in her admin work. Sometimes I get nervous around her because she seems too beautiful. I see her around almost always wearing perfume, and recently I noticed a new scent that made me even more nervous. When I asked her, she told me it’s Azuree, a gift from her mother. At that moment, I smelled a green accord where vetiver stood out, though the situation didn’t give me time to analyze it further, and I felt a bit embarrassed. I got a sample, and indeed, it smells like the countryside but with complex sobriety. It doesn’t have one note that stands out above the others, which I love; I don’t detect rose, but rather a very well-worked floral background that always lingers behind the strong, aromatic grass. It has that earthy imprint that gives it character. The projection and longevity are good. It’s a mature scent, but curiously, it wears well without being pretentious or playing the femme fatale. Even though I said I wouldn’t be impartial, I think there’s no need for that exaggerated posturing to wear a characterful perfume well or to be beautiful. There are women around 50 who, with cheap perfumes and lots of attitude, make you realize that beauty is everywhere. It’s worth trying Azuree, and I recommend it a lot.

Nothing more to add to LaDameDeNoir’s review. Azuree is simply a delicious chypre, the book kind, the old-school kind, the kind they no longer make. A bottled green and herbal beauty. Good longevity and more than acceptable sillage. If you like green chypres, don’t hesitate, go for it!
