• • Star anise: With its iconic “fougère aromatic woody” signature, Azzaro Pour Homme follows the great tradition of perfumery thanks to a rigorously selected fragrance composition rich in more than 320 ingredients, with those of natural origin representing over half of the formula.
• • Lavender: This ingredient creates a warm-cold contrast in addition to depth, texture, and solidarity. Star anise is the badian’s dried fruit, harvested in China, Vietnam, Japan, and the Philippines. More than 25 kilos of dried star anise are required to produce one kilo of essential oil through distillation. It is a precious extract with very sweet, refreshing, and spicy licorice notes. This invigorating, elegant flower radiates a tactile, highly seductive aroma. In Drôme Provençale, around a hundred producers harvest lavender. They then dry it and extract its essence through rapid distillation: 200 kilos of flowers are required to produce one kilo of oil. Soft, floral, and slightly fruity, lavender has a rounded aroma of amber with a hint of coumarin.
• • Vetiver: At once dry and moist, fresh and warm, woody and intense, this root exudes unique sensuality. Vetiver is grown in Java, Madagascar, and Brazil (among others), yet Haiti’s production is preferred by perfumers for its fragrant quality. One kilo of essential oil requires 200 kilos of uprooted, dried, and cleaned raw material.
• The results: An extract with characteristic dry woody notes with earthy, smoky, and nutty tones
