Tom Ford Costa Azzurra, Sample
Costa Azzurra is a vibrant and uplifting evocation of the Mediterranean coast. This unisex Aromatic Aquatic scent is as invigorating as the sea breeze. Zesty citruses are perfectly complimented by herbs and incense, while the complex woody and resinous base provides depth and complexity. A charming and highly versatile offering from this illustrious brand's ever growing range of olfactory gems.
The fragrance opens with a fresh burst of driftwood and seaweed, reminiscent of a sun-soaked shoreline, enriched by the exotic warmth of agarwood and the spicy, aromatic nuances of cardamom. Ambrette adds a subtle musky undertone, while celery seeds introduce a unique, earthy facet. This lively opening evolves into a heart where the bright, crisp scent of lemon mingles with the green, woody aroma of cypress. Yellow mandarin adds a sweet, tangy brightness, balanced by the floral-herbal notes of lavender and myrtle, creating a rich tapestry of Mediterranean botanicals.
As Costa Azzurra dries down, its base reveals a deeper, more mysterious character. Incense and vetiver bring a smoky, earthy depth, while oak and olibanum add a resinous warmth. The mastic or lentisque lends a balsamic touch, softened by the creamy sweetness of vanilla. Together, these notes form a lasting impression, evoking the serene yet dynamic essence of a coastal escape, where land meets sea.
