AzzaroPour Homme Night Time

Batch: 0747187 (February 2017)

Pour Homme Night Time is a men's fragrance by Azzaro from 2011, a modern night time version of the classic Pour Homme from 1978, created by perfumers Christophe Raynaud and Michel Girard. A fresh, spicy aromatic fougère where bitter orange and rhubarb in the opening flow into a heart of nutmeg and black pepper, while a base of Virginia cedar and vetiver stays dry 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. On this bottle the digits point to February 2017, close to the end of the fragrance's production run, shortly before it disappeared from the market completely.

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

Pour Homme Night Time opens fresh and slightly bitter, with orange and rhubarb, before the heart of nutmeg and black pepper adds spicy warmth. The base of Virginia cedar and vetiver stays dry and woody to the very end. Longevity and projection are good, typical of a fresh aromatic fougère.

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 Pour Homme Night Time by Azzaro is the one for you.
