'Whilst the original Costa Azzurra is cool and fresh, Costa Azzurra Parfum has a sunny warmth. Be prepared to get compliments on how good it smells, even hours later. ' - Chelsey, Escentual Beauty Team. Why You'll Love Costa Azzurra Parfum: It's a piece of Tom Ford; it's not your average fougere fragrance. You can smell expensive for up to 6 hours (it lasts even longer on clothes). The bottle looks and feels expensive. You're bound to get compliments! What Does Costa Azzurra Parfum Smell Like? If Costa Azzurra Eau de Parfum was a bright, crisp sunrise, Costa Azzurra Parfum is a warm, lingering sunset, and it's all because of the inclusion of salty amber; that's not in the original. Spraying it, it's hard not to get transported to the French Riviera. You can easily picture the big bushy greens due to the cypress oil and the scent of warm skin from the inclusion of salty amber. The salt cleverly creates the illusion of how your skin picks up the scent of crystal blue oceans on holiday - creating the freshness of the Costa Azzurra landscape in your mind. When we sprayed it as a team, we thought this perfume would be a good wildcard summer fragrance for anyone that prefers bolder, darker scents but wants to experience some freshness due to its more full-bodied nature. Costa Azzurra is a citrus fougere commonly seen to have a masculine edge. Still, the amber in this fragrance sweetens up the whole scent, meaning you get left with a familiar, sensual close-to-skin scent that you can smell hours later, especially when going in for a hug or double kiss. Key Perfume Notes: Cypress Oil, Oakwood, Salty Amber. Why It's Escentual: Every Tom Ford fragrance in the Signature Collection tells a story. When we learnt about Costa Azzurra and its inspiration, we understood why it's a bestseller - the detail is everything. Costa Azzurra is one of Mr Ford's favourite places. To create this scent, he took cues from the shimmering turquoise seas, salty skin, and flourishing ferns. When you spray it and close your eyes, it's hard not to picture being on a sun lounger, not knowing what date or time it is - one can dream. Costa Azzurra is part of the Signature collection; the bottle gives this away. Its gold is because of his love for 70s glamour. The cap and art deco-inspired bottle gives off an opulent air. Together the scent and bottle make a real statement. Look out for the detail. You'll see the TF logo engraved on the top of the cap. You'll also see the fine line plisse detail on the lid and bottle, which is also imprinted on the outer box. If you wear Costa Azzurra Eau de Parfum, the Parfum would work well for you during the colder months when you want something warmer and more long-lasting.   The Best Way To Use It: For the best performance, spritz Costa Azzurra Parfum onto your pulse points - particularly the neck and wrists. Press it in, don't pat. The heat and friction from the rubbing action can disrupt the way the notes last and dissipate throughout the day.   The Sustainable Side: You can recycle the outer cardboard packaging.
