AzzaroPour Homme Hot Pepper

Batch: 0820104 (February 2018)

Hot Pepper is a men's fragrance by Azzaro from 2018, part of the Sensual Blends line together with Naughty Leather and Amber Fever, created by perfumer Philippe Romano. A spicy, warm oriental scent where chilli pepper, juniper and pink pepper in the opening flow into a heart of frankincense and lavender, while a base of cashmeran and patchouli stays deep and woody.

Fun fact: Azzaro bottles from the era when the brand was owned by Clarins, before the L'Oréal acquisition, carry a 7 digit batch code. The third digit is the last digit of the production year, and the fourth and fifth digits show the month in reverse, just like other bottles of the brand from the same era.

This is an original decant of the perfume in a practical travel atomiser. Perfect for testing and for carrying with you anywhere.

Feel and longevity

Hot Pepper opens spicy and fresh, with chilli and pink pepper, before the heart of frankincense and lavender adds warmth. The base of cashmeran and patchouli stays deep and woody to the very end. It is best suited to evening wear and the colder months, and longevity and projection are good, typical of a spicy oriental scent.

Why choose a decant?

A luxury fragrance deserves to be experienced on your skin before you invest in a full bottle, and with a discontinued scent like this one, a decant is often the only practical way to own it. With an original decant you can test the scent in real life at an accessible price, follow how it develops and how long it lasts, and decide whether Hot Pepper by Azzaro is the one for you.
