Wanted EDT

Azzaro Wanted EDT — Men's

The original. The one that started the lineup. The fragrance that's been consistently underestimated since 2016 while quietly getting more popular every year.

Created by Fabrice Pellegrin and Olivier Cresp, Wanted EDT opened with lemon, ginger, lavender, and mint — a fresh-spiced combination that was immediately appealing and immediately versatile. Guaiac wood and cardamom in the heart give it a warm, aromatic depth. Amberwood in the base provides a quietly sweet, long-lasting foundation. It's a fragrance that gets compared to everything from Bleu de Chanel to YSL Y to Versace Eros — but it consistently has its own identity, built around a pineapple-adjacent fruitiness that most reviewers can't place without looking at the pyramid. The all-day, all-year, genuinely crowd-pleasing versatility of Wanted EDT is either its best feature or its least interesting one depending on what you want from a fragrance. Either way, it consistently earns compliments and consistently sells out.

🔺 The Scent Pyramid

Top Notes (0–15 min) Lemon · Ginger · Lavender · Mint

A complex, layered fresh opening that works better than most four-note citrus combinations manage to. Lemon provides clean brightness. Ginger adds dry spice. Lavender contributes aromatic freshness. Mint gives the opening a cool, slightly sweet edge. Together they create a first impression that reads as both familiar and slightly surprising — there's an implicit fruitiness (often described as pineapple) that the pyramid doesn't list but consistently gets noted by wearers.

Heart Notes (20 min–2 hrs) Guaiac Wood · Cardamom

A warm, aromatic heart that deepens the fresh opening into something more substantial. Guaiac wood adds a dry, slightly smoky quality. Cardamom brings warm spice that amplifies the ginger and bridges everything toward the base. The heart is where Wanted EDT becomes an all-season rather than purely summer fragrance.

Base Notes (2 hrs and beyond) Amberwood

Clean, warm, and slightly sweet — the amberwood base is the quiet workhorse that keeps Wanted on skin for a full day. It's not the complex amber-toffee combination of The Most Wanted, but it provides the foundation that makes Wanted EDT one of the best-performing fragrances in the lineup for everyday use. Longevity runs 7 to 10 hours on most skin types with strong projection in the opening settling into moderate sillage.

What it smells like on skin:

The opening is fresh-spiced and immediately likeable — that subtle pineapple character woven through the lemon-ginger-lavender is the detail that makes Wanted EDT more interesting than the category average. The guaiac wood-cardamom heart deepens everything. The amberwood drydown is warm and long-lasting. Genuinely year-round, genuinely all-occasion, genuinely worth having in a rotation.
