The spray nozzle is a disaster, but who cares when you become a magnet for compliments?

This perfume is rich, with a caramel note that really shines in cold weather or at night. It has good projection, so be careful with the sprays, and it’s very seductive. If you’re looking for that vibe as a teenager, it’s a great option, but for adults, I recommend the Parfum version, which is more masculine.

2026 updated review: not worth it. It’s very similar to Born in Roma Extradose, with a prominent cardamom note throughout and no real caramel, which you definitely notice in SWYI. This is just spiced, woody cardamom, just like Extradose.

Honestly, I don’t get the people who say it only lasts two hours. I bought a 2025 batch and tested it on my arm: it lasted 8 hours with great initial projection. Maybe it causes olfactory fatigue. Try it on your arm, don’t hold it near your nose, and you’ll be surprised.

The more designer perfumes I try, the more I’m convinced this Azzaro is the one. I left a review months ago and I’m still on the same page. If you can grab it for $60, it’s hard to beat. Minimalist scent: bergamot, caramel, vetiver, amberwood, and vanilla. I’m surprised they don’t mention the citrus; on the chest, it’s pure sweet, juicy citrus for the first half hour. I’d love a flanker for summer.

Short and sweet: up close it smells like play-doh. It does resemble SWYI, but spicier and sexier thanks to the cardamom. It doesn’t project far, but the trail is fantastic—it lingers in the air and smells great. Suitable for all seasons, but only for summer nights. Better than SWYI because it’s more masculine, sexier, and doesn’t smell like candy, though it’s not as interesting as SWYA. Better price.

9/10. Some perfumes don’t need to scream; others are compliment bombs with great longevity. This version of Most Wanted might not please everyone due to its obvious sweetness with cardamomo, but it’s ideal for casual or festive night outs. Personally, it’s one of my favorites; among the Most Wanted versions, it feels the most original and versatile. I wore it with sun and mild heat; it’s not bothersome, but it’s a close-range night scent for people within 1-2 meters. As a 27-year-old pianist playing in an elegant venue where people sit close, I received many compliments from women over 30 asking what I was wearing and how it smelled. After an hour, it lasted 6-7 hours. For the price, it’s worth it. Are there better options? Yes, but I’ve loved its performance. It’s my third bottle in two years. For personal use, night shifts, date nights, and sex, it does its job.

I’m writing this while wearing it on my hand and after several days of use in the cold CDMX weather—the perfect time to test it before the summer heat hits. It opens with spicy, sensual cardamomo that invites people closer. It evolves (though they don’t advertise it) into a soapy lavender that wraps around a slightly less caramelized, lactonic tonka. It sweetens into a perfectly balanced caramel scent: smells like a sweet, spiced, clean blend rather than pancakes. Works for the office, dates, and staying in. It doesn’t overwhelm or stick like the overly sweet trash out there. Just don’t wear it in extreme heat, but it works fine in the sun. Its weak point is projection; it’s personal and intimate, not a room-filler. If you want people to smell you from across the room, buy Kamrah or something scandalous. I think warm scents should be subtle; if this were more potent, it would be unusable. I put it on at 9 am and still got hits at 9 pm. Summary: balanced, not suffocating, moderately versatile, low projection but insane longevity, smells spicy, sweet, and clean, very sensual, ideal for a black shirt, dressed up, ready to breed your bitch.

Another victim of TikTok gurus. It’s not bad, but it’s overhyped and hyped to the max. It’s youthful, nocturnal, and warm. Total winter vibe. Not very versatile. It’s not the compliment bomb they claim. It’s cardamomo with an amber touch. If you’re looking for something super sweet, this isn’t it; the caramel is missing. I think they reformulated; I tested a decant years ago and it felt much sweeter. In 2026, it’s not worth it. The Most Wanted Parfum version is more interesting (though the DNA is simple) due to its woody vanilla note that makes it more complex. It’s not beast mode; it’s moderate with a moderate trail. If you want to fill a room, forget it.

I’ve had this for almost 8 months. I set it aside in summer, but in winter it’s my lifesaver; my dad gave it to me for my birthday and honestly, it smells amazing. I haven’t gotten many compliments, probably because people are distracted, but for weddings or concerts, it never fails. You notice it in 30 minutes and it lasts forever. I recommend it because it’s incredibly cheap for what it offers. Rating: 9/10.

My first perfume and the one that made me start searching for more. What hasn’t been said before? A warm, cozy cardamom opening, followed by delicious toffee. It’s not the eighth wonder, but it’s a real winner, better than Empalogoso Intensely.

There’s a lot of hype, it’s a good perfume but not that good. The best part is the price and that it’s always on sale. It starts spicy and then shifts to something sweet, like a milk candy, not vanilla. It lasts more than 6 hours on clothes. Projection is strong for the first two hours; if I get close to someone and they ask what I’m wearing, it’s because it smells good. It’s versatile for daily wear if it’s not extremely hot, ideal for cool or mildly sunny weather. I give it an 8/10, and above all, repeat: the price is accessible; if it went up, I’d drop it to 6.

I gave a decant to my boyfriend and I spent the day smelling like a beast in heat. If they thought Dior Sauvage had women conquered, they were wrong. He got lucky we were in public that afternoon because nobody told him anything the next day.
joseagm93
A friend gifted it to me and I owe him my life; the guy has great taste. For cold weather, it’s a lifesaver; in heat, it might be a bit overwhelming. It smells sweet but not cloying, elegant and confident. Pure delight.
consta
I bought it recently and at first the opening didn’t convince me; I smelled a vanilla with a lemon touch that I didn’t like. The surprise was the dry down: incredible. It turns into a vanilla with caramel, super pleasant and inviting you to keep smelling the person wearing it. It’s a well-executed gourmand, simply addictive. I see myself wearing it a lot for dates or parties, but without a doubt, a date in cold weather is its territory. The scent is 10/10, I give the dry down a 7.

Warm, night-time, and party fragrance. Winner of compliments. I wore it on Christmas and it was a total success. Longevity and projection are excellent. Ideal for standing out on dates, at clubs, or with friends.
samurep
Great brand perfume with a fair price. Longevity and projection aren’t the best, but the scent is a marvel. Ideal for dates or intimate events. Worth it.
Lovesadako
It’s quite different from Halloween Man X.
valentinophantom
Prime. I like the Parfum more, but I can’t deny that this perfume makes me think of the word ‘PRIME’.

It’s a compliment machine. I fell in love with it from the first spray thanks to that warm, subtle sweetness; it’s very elegant. Perfect for a night out or when it’s cold. It’s one of my favorites and I don’t want it to ever run out.
peterMartinez
This perfume fell in love with me. It’s a dessert-like vanilla with that masculine and spicy touch of cardamom and amber wood that gives it weight. It reminds me of a banana shake, very tasty. Recommended if you like sweet perfumes: night is a must, or cool afternoons. It works spectacularly for dates and performed well. Longevity and projection are decent; it projects super well for the first hour and then becomes a bubble. I really like it, I recommend it, even for blind buys if you like sweets; otherwise, better to test it first.
Esencio
If you already have a collection, this is for someone looking for a single scent that absolutely crushes it on every level. It’s not overly complex or magically evolving, but it has that balanced ‘dark sweetness’ that people always love. It performs amazingly, and if your goal is to please without breaking the bank (like Dylan Blue for summer), there’s no better option. Forget the rest. Rating: 8.5/10. Projection: 7/10. Longevity: 7.5/10. If budget is tight, Lattafa Ansaam Silver works well, though Halloween Man X smells similar but lasts less and I prefer it less.
XavicatPerfum
Incredible, I was surprised. I never like spicy or sweet fragrances, so I thought I wouldn’t like it since it reminded me of STWY, but what a mistake. This perfume is amazing; it has a fresh touch and doesn’t overwhelm with sweetness. It’s bold and sexy. I’d wear it on dates or special occasions.
Yamillll
They say it’s similar to Stronger With You, and with both in hand, I can say this Wanted is much spicier due to the cardamomo, which stays throughout the evolution, making it more masculine than SWY, although they share that sweet toffee.
Reuven
This isn’t a perfume; it’s a seductive revolver loaded with bullets where instead of gunpowder, you find explosive cardamomo, sensual toffee, and amber that marks territory. It’s a perfumed ammunition full of intentions. And of course, you don’t choose Azzaro; he chooses you. Whoever wears this doesn’t shoot into the air; they aim at a specific target with surgical precision. That bullet has a name and a face. Once it hits, the effect lasts hours… and on clothes, days. It doesn’t just want to please you; it wants you to never forget it. It’s not versatile; it’s not worn by accident. It’s worn with intention. Azzaro The Most Wanted. The most sought-after and, by many, the most hated. Because while it seduces, it also eliminates competition.

I’m not totally sold on it… I’ll try it a few more times to see if it grows on me.

To the Azzaro The Most Wanted connoisseurs, what differences do you find between the Parfum version (which is rich) and the new Elixir?
nina_garza
Here’s my take as a young person: Very simple, ‘if people aren’t giving you compliments, it’s because the chili doesn’t taste good,’ because dude, who isn’t going to give you compliments with this awesome perfume? I gave the gift set to my boyfriend (thank God he loved it) and it was phenomenal, plus it’s affordable, and I felt very satisfied with the quality-to-price ratio. Now, I use it according to the season: I see it for autumn, winter, and spring, cool-to-cold weather, mostly for night events but also gets great use during the day. It has considerable sillage and medium-to-high longevity, which is beneficial given the price. In my opinion, it’s very masculine, for a strong, powerful, and sexy man. I love smelling it on my boyfriend, especially when he’s all in black with rock shirts; he looks sexy and smells super good. After JPG Le Beau Le Parfum, Victory Elixir, and Bad Boy Cobalt, I consider this a ‘panty dropper’ and a ‘tattooed girl tamer.’ End.

Started fresher than I expected, but soon the cardamom and toffee take over. The result is a rich, addictive scent with great longevity that gets compliments from everyone.
