  They say it’s a magnet for women and that girls get closer to the man wearing it; to me, it smells very seductive and sexy. The opening is a bit powdery and mossy, I think it’s the juniper, then it shifts to an addictive spicy scent, very, very good. It’s addictive and pleasant until you start smelling it over and over again. P.S.: It’s a men’s cologne. Kids, stay away from this.

  As a forum user said, this perfume has a reputation for attracting women. It didn’t quite fit my style at first, but after 15-20 minutes, it becomes addictive. It starts citrusy, then blends musk with woods without losing that aromatic fruity touch. It reminds me of violets, but with a very masculine and sober vibe. I see it as fresh, classic, and elegant, with acceptable longevity, sillage, and projection. A plus: it’s obscure, so fewer people will know what you’re wearing. Recommended.

  I love it. It smells like Cool Water but with more character. Perfect for night. I noticed it lasts longer on clothes than on skin, so if you want it to last, put a bit on your shirt.

  I notice Azzaro Silver Black is a bit fresher, less intense, and less medicinal than Pour Homme; they’re quite similar. Best used in spring/summer, preferably for evening wear. I recommend it for romantic dates or work. Very good sillage, excellent longevity. A truly alpha male perfume.

  I sprayed a good amount of Silver Black on my wrists along with Midnight in Paris, and what a fresh blend. A total autumn success. I’ve had a bottle of Silver Black for a couple of years that I got cheap in a minis order and never really paid attention to. I tried it before and maybe it didn’t convince me, perhaps due to summer heat. Here in the Canaries, it doesn’t get cold, so I enjoy potent perfumes more when it cools down. I’ve worn it several days and it has an 80s vibe, even though it came out in 2005. The apple and bergamot give it a lift, but its soul is melancholic and dark, maybe due to the patchouli and anise. It has a classic barbershop touch, creamy and soft but intense. It feels like a true men’s fragrance. I like it a lot, and so does everyone else. The fact that it stays away from trends without being loud is a plus, along with the price and longevity. It’s versatile, but better to avoid closed, hot spaces.

  I just sprayed a good stream of Silver Black on both wrists, along with Midnight in Paris by Van Cleef & Arpels, what a mix! A total autumn success. I’ve had a bottle of Silver Black for a couple of years that I got very cheap in a minis order and never paid much attention to. I tested it out, and maybe I didn’t like it as much… maybe it was summer, and it felt heavy on me. The truth is, in the Canary Islands, it never gets cold, so I enjoy potent perfumes more when it cools down a bit. I’ve been wearing it for days, and it has a very 80s vibe, even though it came out in 2005. The apple and bergamot give it air and liveliness, though its soul is melancholic and dark, perhaps due to the patchouli and anise. It also has a touch of classic barbershop, creamy, soft but intense and pleasant, and I think it’s a genuinely masculine fragrance. I’m liking it a lot, and people do too. The fact that it steps away from current trends without being loud is another point in its favor, along with the price and excellent longevity. I find it versatile, though I’d avoid closed and hot spaces.

  It works great for me, though my girlfriend doesn’t feel the same (whatever she thinks). I see myself as Nisman with this just before his hat blew off. The sillage is weak, standard, but the fixation is good.

  I didn’t like it much. It doesn’t even compare to the classic Azzaro. This seems too timid, lacks personality, and the longevity and scent just aren’t for me. The Visit is much better as well.

  I didn’t like it much. It doesn’t compare to the classic Azzaro at all. This seems very timid, lacking personality, and the longevity and scent aren’t to my liking. Visit is much better, for example.

  Honestly, after giving it a proper try, it’s been a letdown. It starts fresh and pleasant but doesn’t last long. Then retro barbershop and vintage notes come out that I don’t like. The coriander is very present (and I can’t stand coriander), and I barely smelled the juniper. I did a poll, and it doesn’t attract women; out of every two who liked it, five said it was for older people. In summary, the price, longevity, and sillage are great, but those old 80s barbershop touches and that strong spicy tone make it a total pass for me. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re 40 or older, which my nose and mostly women of all ages agree on. Rating: Opening 9, Dry Down 3, Longevity and Sillage 8, Price 9, Versatility 6.

  True, I tested this thoroughly, and it was quite a mystery: it starts fresh and pleasant but lasts a mere breath. Then a super retro, old-school barbershop scent settles in. The coriander dominates (and I’m angry because I can’t stand it), and the juniper barely smells. I did a poll, and nothing about attracting women; out of every two who liked it, five said it smelled old or for older people. In summary: the price is great, longevity and sillage work, but those 80s barbershop touches and that beastly spicy tone make this Azzaro a total discard for my collection. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re 40 or older, as my nose and others, mostly women of different ages, say. Score: Scent: 9 projection/3 dry down. Longevity and sillage: 8. Price: 9. Versatility: 6.

  It’s a pleasant perfume with three clear notes: first citrus, then anise, and finally patchouli. It has very little relation to the original Azzaro Pour Homme, and I prefer the original. Anyway, for the price, longevity, and what it offers, I recommend buying it if you find it for 600 pesos or 30 dollars. The best part is that it’s not mass-produced.

However, given the price, longevity, and what it offers, I recommend it if you can grab it for 600 pesos or 30 dollars. The best part: it’s not overexposed.

  I’m not an expert, so no jargon, just my opinion. I used it the first week, and when I first sprayed it, it was so strong it actually bothered me, but after 15 minutes, it faded, and that’s when the party started. The scent is super retro, my olfactory memory takes me back to my father’s era (I’m 48). It lasts all day without needing reapplication. I see it as ideal for fresh or cold days and for work, but only if you have a semi-formal, serious style. I’m not looking for compliments; I use it because it brings back good memories and doesn’t bother me (only at the very beginning). I’ll keep using it and might buy another bottle since the price is a steal.

  Powerful scent with an 80s retro vibe but modernized, perfect for a mature man without falling into the classic fougere or typical ‘grandpa fragrance’ trap. It’s Azzaro Pour Homme, which hardly anyone wears today because it’s so strong and dated. It resembles Azzaro Onyx, also by Françoise Caron, but I prefer this one for its anise, juniper, and musk notes. Good longevity, 6-7 hours on my skin, moderate sillage radiating an aura for an hour. It has a touch of coriander, patchouli, and wood that gives it that ‘sigma male’ vibe: enigmatic, serious, and intensely interesting. It’s dark and nocturnal without being scary, with a classic barbershop touch but more elegant and versatile than traditional shaving scents. So, it’s not Old Spice, Tabac, or Drakkar Noir. It’s quite affordable for what it offers, around 25-35 euros/dollars for 100ml. I see Silver Black as better for cool weather; avoid sunny spring-summer mornings, terraces, or July-August parties over 30°C where it might overwhelm you. A fragrance for an elegant, mature man, 35 and up. Unfortunately, this Silver Black is hard to find nowadays; you can only buy it on specialized websites or perfume outlets with stock from a few years ago. Oh, and forget about attracting compliments or anything; while there are people (men and women) for everything (some are obsessed and say Gucci Guilty Absolute gets them compliments and helps them flirt; I’m baffled), this is purely personal enjoyment and olfactory footprint.

  The scent is too soft, almost imperceptible (maybe I got a defective bottle); I only notice a hint of anise over a classic base reminiscent of Azaro Pour Homme. If you’re looking for discretion, they’ve nailed it. However, it’s a disappointment with extremely poor longevity.

  It’s the opposite of Pour Homme, my youth perfume which was elegant and pleasant. This one blocks out the best of the regular version; it sounds more mature, less intense, and muted. While it’s aimed at an older profile, I feel it kills the powerful opening of the original. If you’re not looking for something subdued and mature, it’s not worth it. 3/5
