Wanted Girl by Azzaro

Wanted for Men has been a hit for Azzaro and naturally they also put out a women’s version in 2019, Wanted Girl. I got a hold of a sample of this a while back, but never got around to giving it a review. Let’s change that today. How does it smell? Perform? Is it worth a buy?

My Full Review

Before I get into my review of this fragrance, let’s see how Azzaro describes it: In tribute to a new, free and flamboyant femininity. A floral, gourmand and oriental eau de parfum with an addictive trail.

Wanted Girl opens up with a very well blended mix of sweet, warmth, and a fresh spice provided by the ginger. There is an opening citrus note or rather, a few different ones.

I couldn’t find any official listing other than having orange blossom, but the list of ingredients includes: limonene and citronellol…so the citrus influence is definitely here.

The reason that it seems to blend together so much, is that everything is wrapped up in the embrace of notes like pink pepper. I also smell patchouli and tonka bean. This is a definite gourmand scent.

Anyway, the opening act is a sweet and slightly sharp mix of the citrus notes. Then, a few minutes after the dulce de leche becomes quite apparent, and it’s a note that I enjoy. As it moves along, the tonka bean takes over the patchouli.

Sweet, creamy, and warm. More importantly, it becomes pretty floral, and the spice doesn’t hang around for the latter stages. It’s quite delicious and has an enveloping thickness, without being a total sillage monster. Closer to the skin, but a very cozy sort of perfume

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

This isn’t a super powerful fragrance. The sillage starts off in the upper range of moderate and pretty middle of the road thereafter. Not bad, but not an insane performer.

The longevity is good, though, not elite. It’ll hang around on my skin for 6-7.5 hours, it seems. A useful perfume for sure and by no means a weak performer. With a full bottle, I would guess that Wanted Girl would last closer to that upper end, based on the density of the sprays.

Seasonally, autumn and winter, mostly. But, I don’t think that it’s too heavy of a scent to venture into at least some of the springtime. 

Mostly, a daily wear for the colder months of the year. Not really a formal fragrance, but one which could venture into the nightlife. It’s got an attractive and edible quality, that as a man, I enjoy. Kind of sexy and really something that I want to smell more of.

Despite the Girl name, it isn’t completely relegated to being a teenager’s scent, but it will more likely appeal to those through their mid-20s or so. Of course, fans of the sweetish gourmands at any age, might want to indulge in this one.

Overall Impressions of Wanted Girl

Do I like this scent? Yes, I think that it is put together well and a nice little gourmand scent. Not too sugary or overbearing, but one that is a crowd pleaser, and generally easy to wear.

Wanted Girl isn’t groundbreaking and you’ve probably smelled fragrances close to what this one smells like. Though, I do think that it stands out enough on its own, to be considered distinct and not just another clone. 

The creaminess is great, along with the warm embrace that this Azzaro surrounds you with. Dulce de leche is the real star of the composition and makes this one a very nice designer scent.

Pleasant, cozy, and pretty. If you’re not into gourmands, avoid this one. However, for anyone else, it’s a darn good buy. Not the best, but it should provide plenty of what you’d want in a fragrance.
