Hi everyone! This time, it is me, Nicolas, instead of Claire who is presenting the article of the week.
Three weeks ago, Claire and I were invited in Zurich for the launch of a new fragrance:
Azzaro: Wanted
Sadly, Claire was not able to go, because she was still in Manchester at the time. However, I was so excited that I just had to go, even if it would be by myself. Before you ask, this Men’s fragrance will be launched mid-February in Switzerland. We had the chance to discover it beforehand and therefore share this with you guys 🙂

Bonjour tout le monde! Cette fois, c’est moi, Nicolas, qui présente l’article de la semaine.
Il y a trois semaines, Claire et moi étions invités à Zurich pour le lancement de la nouvelle fragrance d’Azzaro: Wanted.
Malheureusement, Claire n’a pas pu venir, car elle était encore à Manchester. Néanmoins, il fallait juste que j’y aille, j’avais trop hâte! Avant toute chose, je peux vous dire que ce parfum homme sortira mi-février en Suisse. Nous avons eu la chance de le découvrir en avance et donc en profitons pour partager ça avec vous 🙂
Here are some pictures from the event in Zurich, by Ivo Nigro
Here is the perfume, in its beautifully luxurious bottle.
Attending this event was delightful. We were told how much energy they put into creating this new fragrance. In fact, it took them two years to finish it! Personnally, I think this shows dedication and quality over profit. As I had the chance to meet Pierre Aulas, Azzaro’s olfactory artistic director, I could see how much good work means to him.
What I felt
Now, let us talk about the perfume itself. It is called Wanted. At first, I really did not know what to expect. When I tried it, I was surprised that it was not as sharp as I imagined. Sure, the perfume was strong, but the sensation was round and soft, which I liked very much. The fragrance made me feel good because it was warm, not cold. As it happens with all perfumes, they evolve with time after you put them on. This one becomes warmer and rounder throughout the day, which is I find very pleasant.
Wanted inspires me adrenalin. The sensations I mentioned above are the ones you I get when I go for stimulation and action. This perfume and its imagery felt strong, and for me, aviation fitted perfectly. This is why I wanted to make it appear in our flatlay through the Aviator Ray-Ban sunglasses and the golden plane pin. As a matter of fact, you may not know this about me, but I just love extreme sensations such as the ones in skydiving, bungee jumping… And I currently practise paragliding acrobatics 😉
The inspiration went so far as to make us shot some pictures featuring Wanted. As after a long day filled with sensations, I like to go out with my girlfriend and tell her everything I lived.

Assister à cet événement a été très plaisant. On nous a décrit toute l’énergie mise dans l’élaboration de ce parfum, qui a requis deux ans pour être finalisé. Je pense que cela montre beaucoup de dévouement et est la garantie d’une certaine qualité. Comme j’ai eu la chance de rencontrer Pierre Aulas, le directeur artistique olfactif, j’ai pu constater à quel point le travail bien fait est important pour lui.
Ce que j’ai ressenti
Passons maintenant au parfum en lui-même. Nommé Wanted, il avait pour moi une part d’inconnu. Je ne savais pas à quoi m’attendre. Quand je l’ai essayé pour la première fois, j’ai été surpris par son absence de piquant. Bien sûr, le parfum dégage une certaine puissance, mais ronde et douce, qui m’a énormément plu. Il est chaud, et non pas froid. Comme tous les parfums, il évolue sur la peau tout le long de la journée. Ce qui me séduit, c’est qu’il devient plus rond et chaud avec le temps.
Wanted m’inspire l’adrénaline. Les sensations décrites précédemment me font penser à celles que je ressens lorsque je suis dans l’action. Ce parfum et son univers me correspondent: pour moi c’est celui de l’aviation. C’est le lien que j’ai voulu mettre en évidence dans le flatlay avec la présence d’une paire de lunettes de soleil Ray-Ban Aviator et d’un pin avion. En effet, vous ne saviez peut-être pas que j’adore les sensations extrêmes qu’on retrouve dans le saut en parachute, le saut à l’élastique… D’ailleurs, en ce moment, je fais beaucoup de voltige en parapente 😉
Ce parfum m’a tant inspiré, que nous avons voulu intégrer Wanted dans une petite série de photos. Après une longue journée pleine de sensations, j’aime beaucoup sortir avec ma copine et prendre le temps de tout lui raconter, tout ce que j’ai vécu.
Great pictures! Love!

Hi Claire and hi Nicolas,
This fragrance sounds interesting and I like the flacon. My husband doesn’t buy his perfumes by himself. It’s me who goes to the perfume shop and then looks around for a beautiful scent for him. By now I didn’t check out Azzaro fragrances. But you made me very curious about this fragrance and I will try it next time at the store.
By the way, your items look great and your hobby sounds really exciting 🙂
