Azzaro Forever Wanted Elixir

Description

Forever Wanted Elixir puts raspberry and leather at the center, with cardamom keeping the sweetness in check. Azzaro released it in 2025 as the most intense take on the Wanted line, in a gold bottle, composed by Sophie Labbé, Clément Gavarry and Honorine Blanc. Raspberry, green mandarin and bergamot open it, clary sage, lavandin and cardamom form the heart, and a leather accord, vetiver and wolfwood hold the base. Reviewers split on the opening, with some finding the raspberry too sweet at first, while others describe the drydown as a smooth, almost syrupy leather.

Scent Character

Translation: fresh citrus and aromatic herbs lead, with woods and an even spread of sweet fruit, spice, leather and lavender behind them. The Leather row is the leather accord in the base, not oud.
