THE AZZARO COLLECTION

 

Azzaro Chrome Under the Pole
A new chapter has been written for Chrome. Azzaro has reinvented this fragrance with a limited edition that echoes the pioneering
Under the Pole expedition. In this new and innovative formula, alcohol has been replaced by a proprietary cooling ingredient
for extreme freshness.
Chrome’s fragrance signature is now more refreshing than ever. Drawing on a unique cooling effect, an invigorating sensation infuses the skin, creating an instant icy feeling and polar freshness.
Under the surface three ingredients come together…Bergamot,  Transparent Musk, and Maté leaves, together they create an exhilarating scent.

Tommy Bahama Maritime Deep Blue
Dive deep into this fresh, woody fragrance and discover the underwater world that holds no boundaries or restrictions. The fragrance transitions to a wave of freshness as water lily and dewy freesia mingle with crisp geranium and orris for a drenched floral impression. The lasting base completes the experience as earthy patchouli and moss collide with fresh cedar wood and musks.

“I was inspired by a trip to a secluded beach – it was so rustic and elemental, that I wanted to express its authenticity – the powerful waves, deep waters, strong winds and sizzling hot sun. Maritime Deep Blue captures this intensity with a burst of watery freshness, crisp aromatic notes and sun-drenched driftwood.” -Frank Voelkl, Perfumer (Firmenich)

4.2 oz / 125mL Eau de Cologne Spray $80 \ 2.5 oz / 75mL Eau de Cologne Spray $65

John Varvatos Artisan
The John Varvatos Artisan Fragrance embodies the lost art of craftsmanship, while at the same time exuding a modern edge. Electrifying citrus drenched in Sicilian clementine mixes with juicy tangelo fruit upon first encounter. This unfolds into inviting heart notes with a mix of ginger root and hints of North African orange tree blossom. A smooth, modern and powerful background rounds out the experience with a woody musk.
$89 @Macys.com

​John Varvatos Vintage
Rooted in the original John Varvatos fragrance both olfactively and aesthetically, vintage is distinctly unique with a rugged authenticity and enduring appeal. It is comprised of a sensuous and masculine composition of the aromatic chypre family with an assertive spice core and a warm, leathery background. A brisk, spicy and energetic introduction gives way to an elegant centerpiece of Yugoslavian oak moss and extra pure patchouli oils. Its smooth and sensual base notes include rare woods, tobacco and suede accents.
$89 @Macys.comJohn Varvatos Artisan Pure
Artisan Pure is inspired by the verdant and lush hills of Xalapa, Mexico, and its vast coffee and citrus groves. Redolent, luxurious citrus notes bring an understated elegance to modern, sun-warmed woods. The fragrance is a crisp, woody citrus scent, as refined as it is cool. Highlighted are three distinct types of petitgrains that use all elements of the citrus tree (leaves, branches and tender fruit), as well as the best quality of orris.

Each Artisan Fragrance is available for purchase at www.johnvarvatos.com, Macy’s and Bloomingdales
$89 (4.2 fl oz).

ferragamo uomo

UOMO Salvatore Ferragamo
A brand new fragrance for men who want to immerse themselves in an Italian lifestyle, heritage, and innovation. What does the Italian way of life represent? For the Ferragamo man, it is an attitude, a state of being, a way of approaching life that involves always chasing the best – with irony and optimism, and an eye for style and beauty.

UOMO Salvatore Ferragamo is a charismatic oriental woody creation that leaves a lasting impression, just like the man who wears it. An elegant embodiment of masculinity where vibrant woody notes interplay with invigorating gourmand notes of pure seduction. A fresh and cool opening, infused with an irreverent sense of charm using unexpected ingredients of Black Pepper, Cardamom and Bergamot. The heart of the fragrance is built around an iconic and classically Italian ingredient, the Tiramisu. The combination of Orange Blossom and Ambrox, perfectly represents the duality of Italian men: strong, confident and roguish, yet seductive and sweet. Cashmere Wood and Sandalwood seal the fragrance with a touch of Tonka Bean, leaving an indelible mark with enormous long lasting qualities
