The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Silver Black by Azzaro, launched in 2005 and crafted by perfumer Françoise Caron, is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of Mediterranean luxury with its crisp and warm notes. The composition opens with a vibrant mix of apple, lime, anise, bergamot, juniper, coriander, and cardamom, creating a refreshing and invigorating start. As it settles into a base of patchouli, white musk, vetiver, and sandalwood, the fragrance evolves into a warm and woody embrace that is both grounding and sensual.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points in the morning. The bright top notes will fade within an hour, making way for the warm and woody base that lasts throughout the day.
