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.
Why People Keep Coming Back:
🍋 The Wanted that started it all — and still one of the best all-rounders in the entire lineup — Wanted EDT has been in consistent rotation since 2016 because it actually works in every context without requiring adjustments. That versatility is harder to achieve than it looks.
📅 Year-round, all-occasion, all-age — the fragrance community argues constantly about whether versatility is a feature or a flaw. The people wearing Wanted EDT every day and getting compliments every day have settled the argument for themselves.
🔍 Authenticated. Every batch. — same EDT as Macy's, Sephora, or any authorized Azzaro retailer, personally verified through our sourcing and authentication process.

Who actually buys this: The first-timer who wants one bottle that works for everything and doesn't want to overthink it. The collector who's had it before and ran out. The buyer who got a compliment on someone else's Wanted and tracked down the bottle.

Longevity, skin chemistry, the collector's take, and how we authenticate.
Wanted EDT is the original, classic entry in the line — a warm masculine built around bright citrus, cardamom, and ginger over a juniper, vetiver, and tonka base. The composition reads polished and confident, with the kind of mature character that makes Wanted a reliable office and casual masculine choice.
For collectors building a designer masculine rotation around recognized profiles, Wanted EDT is one of the better executions in the warm-spicy daily-driver category. Adaptable across most wearing contexts and well-priced for what's delivered.
Performance & Wear Guide
- Longevity: 7–9 hours on skin.
- Projection: Moderate to strong. Projects confidently for the first 2–3 hours.
- Sillage: Moderate. Leaves a warm trail — noticeable without being overwhelming.
- Best Seasons: Fall and winter. The amber/spice profile needs cooler temperatures to perform at its best.
- Occasions: Evening events, formal settings, date nights.
- Application Tips: 2–3 sprays. Chest and wrist. Allow 30 minutes for the full composition to develop before assessing.
- Dry-Down Arc: Spice-heavy opening transitions through a warmer heart into an amber/musk base that softens the composition considerably.

This EDT delivers a fresh, citrus-and-vanilla scent that customers said "smells amazing" and is "worth every penny." The fragrance garners numerous compliments and lasts 6+ hours for most shoppers. However, some noted longevity issues (1.5 hours) or found it too strong initially. A few reported leakage during travel. Overall, customers praised its quality and versatility for daily wear.

This product is exactly what I expected it to be great size and the value for my money. The fragrance is top quality.
Awesome quality that allows the scent to linger even after washing my husband’s clothes. The fragrance is divine!!! Worth every penny.
I've tried many colognes throughout the years and I must say this is by far. My most favoriteI even like this more than the newer version of wanted.
Very strong fragrance, I usually do 4 - 6 sprays and I think it was too much for this one. 2 - 3 is the sweet spot for sure. Smells great and the bottle feels mostly high quality. Sprays nicely. I think this is definitely worth it when it’s on sale but maybe not so much at full price in my opinion.
This cologne smells soo good, it is worth every dollar cause the stay on for a very long time which make it a good quality cologne
I thought it was a bigger size. It smells great
No es como pensé
I bought this one for 50 off th price.This is one of those colognes that you will be happy to invest in.Great scene, long lasting, I get compliments on it.Chicks dig it.
I love this smell! Cologne has become more pricey lately for the good stuff, and this was half price for prime day. I'm thankful I found this for my husband, and it's a bigger bottle so it will last longer. It has a warm sexy scent that lasts through the day.
I'm a cologne hoarder with over 50. Azzaro is a bit pricey but it's worth it. The scent is wonderful. It last pretty much all day. A little goes a long way. If you can, pay the money and enjoy it.
Aroma agradable suave por ser agua de toilette,similar a cítricos,madera y vanilla.
Love it great smell
Good
This was a gift for one of my Grandsons. He loves the smell and the fancy bottle. He shared it with another Grandson which also loved the smell.
This is one of my favorite scents for my husband it’s a warm vanilla and super attractive.
I brought this item as a father's day gift and he absolutely loved it. The fragrance wasn't overpowering but it lasted all day. He asked for another one and I'm gonna buy us both one this time! Loved it!
El perfume me pareció excelente, igual como los demás como venían juntos ese paquete lo querían hacer perdedizo porque no me daban hoy lunes ninguna información del paquete cuando lo rastreaba yo .
Great perfum!Been using it for a while
Irresistible el olor
Huele riquísimo es un poco más suave que el azaro negro no sé cómo se llama
If you're searching for a long-lasting fragrance with a wonderful scent, you can't go wrong with this perfume. This isn't my first or second order; I've decided to write a review now after comparing it to other perfumes, and it continues to stand out for me.
This smells amazing
Hule muy bien , lo compraria otra vez!
Fantastic smelling EDT. Very fresh and citrus-ey. Lasts a long time for an EDT. Azzaro makes fantastic fragrances and this is one of their best.
Smells good
Es un olor muy agradable pero si eres de los que les gusta el olor fuerte y extravagante pues este no es el indicado. Primero recordar que es un EAU es decir una colonia, la duración de un perfúme y una colonia no es la misma, hay que saber las características de ambos.Como colonia es excelente, un olor agradable, de larga duración, a mi me dura mas de 24 horas, y permanecer muchísimo el olor en mi piel.Llego bien empaquetado, excelente presentación. Lo más importante al comprar una colonia o perfume es saber si huele fuerte o ligero y la duración del mismo, si un comentario no tiene estas especificaciones pues no sirve para nada.Conclusión: Buen olor y larga duración. No es un olor extravagante ni fuerte.
I have tried many colognes throughout the years and this is the only one that I have ever received good comments over. It's not overly strong so long as you don't go overboard with the sprays. for me, I find that it does last a long time. I see or smell as it activates whenever I begin to heat up/sweat. So I know it still going strong.
Have received MANY compliments on its aroma. I really like the manly scent! Great for everyday or formal events
Smells good and it lasts
Ugh 😩 I’m the most happiest person because this my favorite❤️
Es increíble este perfume se siente en todos lados
I love this cologne so much, it has a strong long lasting scent 10/10 would recommend. Worth the money
