Verte by Azha Perfumes

Leaving a review to clarify a bit, this perfume leans more toward the style of Prada L’Homme, as if Prada decided to make a green version of that line. It is fresh from cypress (lemon pine) then settles clean/powdery (iris/violet) and in the base you can sense light leather and gray amber. Vanilla and sandalwood are very minimal. Do not get confused, it has iris but it is light, nothing like Dior Homme Parfum. It leans more toward Prada L’Homme. It has a gummy touch but like mint/spearmint gum (only in the opening), I understand if you have tried few perfumes the opening might remind you of Phantom-type fragrances, but actually nothing to do with it, it would be more like a green Invictus but that feeling lasts only about 5 minutes, it quickly evolves to the clean/violet/powdery and moves away from youthful fragrances. Consider it if you want a green fragrance that does not smell vintage or old-man, despite the sweetness from the violet it is not very youthful, I would say 25+, for casual/refreshing use and that reflects cleanliness. In any climate where you can tolerate an Invictus you can wear this too.

My experience, first test of the perfume and my girlfriend tells me it smells like bubble gum, of course there’s the reminiscence of Phantom by Paco Rabanne at the start, but this is greener and more animalic, I feel it resembles one of the Valentino Uomo Born in Roma, a fairly youthful perfume, the iris here is more luminous, somewhat like the 2025 Dior Homme Parfum to be clear, a very recommendable perfume for its price and quality.

My first projection on skin was like mixing 50% Dior Homme Intense and another 50% dark green notes, cypress, cardamom, violets and sandalwood. I could go along with the claim some make comparing half 50% P.R. Phantom and 50% Dior Homme Intense, and it will surely smell more or less like that… and note: I applied it in the morning and now that it’s 11pm the scent is still going on my arm so it’s really good!

Woody and powdery fragrance… somewhat sweet in the dry-down and you can somewhat pick out the iris and leather. I think it’s perfect for cool days and nights. I just wouldn’t wear it on hot days. The price-quality ratio is excellent. It’s no wonder in terms of performance, but it will accompany you well when you wear it. Score: 7.0/10

First try and my girlfriend says it smells like bubblegum. Sure, at first it reminds me of Paco Rabanne’s Phantom, but this is greener and more animalic. It reminds me of Valentino Uomo Born in Roma, a youthful fragrance. The iris here is brighter, like the Dior Homme Parfum 2025. Highly recommended for the price and quality.

It’s a woody, powdery scent, slightly sweet at the base, with noticeable iris and leather. Perfect for fresh days and nights, but not for heat. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent. It’s not a miracle in terms of longevity, but it accompanies you well when you wear it. Rating: 7.0/10.
