by Azzaro
Azzaro Sea is a straightforward, refreshing citrus-aquatic fragrance with prominent mandarin orange and marine notes. It delivers a crisp, clean, and uplifting scent that feels most at home in summer, though some note it works well into spring. The dominant citrus character, particularly bright mandarin with a hint of bitter grapefruit, makes it more refreshing than salty—closer to a citrus drink than an ocean breeze. While the fragrance is generally light in sillage and moderate in longevity, many users report it lasting up to six good hours, with an initial burst of projection followed by a subtle, skin-scent stage. It leans masculine in character but is widely considered unisex, especially due to its effervescent citrus and faint aromatic base. The patchouli is barely detectable, and the overall feel is linear, unobtrusive, and unpretentious, resembling a tasteful, low-key aquatic like Givenchy Gentleman or Dior Homme Cologne. It's praised for its accessibility, pleasant simplicity, and strong value for money.
