It is so lush and and yes, rounded. Of course I never tried to stock up on it until it was discontinued; it's the best feminine perfume Azzaro ever made, if you ask me.Florahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00510346346502906435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-47510165398440822682014-01-26T19:58:20.795-05:002014-01-26T19:58:20.795-05:00I don't recall smelling this when it first cam...I don't recall smelling this when it first came out, but I bought a bottle a few years ago online after reading a review of it in one of my perfume books. I remember that my very first impression of it was that it reminded me a bit of Bill Blass (his 1978 perfume), which I wore back in the 80s - both are warm, fruity florals with pineapple as a top note, although I think Azarro 9 has a more elegant vibe. OK, just went and tried on the Azarro again to see if my memory was correct about it and I'm not getting much of the pineapple this time, but my nose is wonky right now. It's been going in and out of total anosmia from a killer cold - driving me *nuts*. <br /><br />Have to say that it took me a while to get down to reading your review because I was transfixed by that first photo and the second dress from the left with those humongous puffy sleeves. Left me sort of frozen with nightmarish memories of a bridesmaid's dress I had to wear in the 80s - an unbelievably awful pastel floral with similar sleeves and neckline and a huge skirt. What really left me with a lasting impression of that day was the fact that the bride chose a similar style for her own dress and everything about her styling for her wedding was astoundingly out of sync with her normal style, which was very urban minimalist with an edge and a heavy emphasis on black. Her wedding wasn't even in the same universe as her normal style - and still isn't.<br /><br />I love the fact that your mom cleaned the phone with perfume!<br />Anna<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-413450828983234512014-01-26T14:04:19.927-05:002014-01-26T14:04:19.927-05:00You must have grown up in a very interestingly sce...You must have grown up in a very interestingly scented home!<br /><br />I remember Azzaro 9 too and mostly for its big old pineapple note. These days I'd say it reminds me of some of the more generously sized Amouage florals. Well, it WAS the 80's.Blacknall Allenhttp://www.aperfumeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-66766530719941522542014-01-25T10:25:28.570-05:002014-01-25T10:25:28.570-05:00I share your love of some 70's fragrances, inc...I share your love of some 70's fragrances, including Mystere by Rochas. i bought 2 from Patou recently-Mille, and Eau de Patou. i bought Mille because i am reading Anjelica Huston's autobigraphy, and she says it's her favorite. THe perfume store had the Eau so i bought that too. Have you tried the Eau? i wonder if you have any thoughts on it. My bottles will arrive this week-in time for my 41 st birthday.<br /><br />CaroleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
