Prince Parfums Dubai Story of Azura Bergamot Mens Extrait de Parfum 3 4 Ounces Luxury Cologne with Grapefruit

This is now my son’s favorite and he’s using it sparingly. I originally purchased for myself but it quickly ended up in my son’s room. He receives compliments anytime he wears it. It is powerful without being overwhelming and lasts throughout the day. It’s clearly premium at first sniff and the bottle is a decent size. It should last a while before he runs out. The notes mentioned are all detectable in my opinion. It is not overly sweet or fruity. Just a premium cologne fragrance. We are all obsessed with this one at home. I HIGHLY recommend. Read more

Great manly fruity fresh fragrance. Could be unisex, but I found it to lean to masculine for my taste. Read more

Most importantly this smells really good. Wife likes the scent as well. Oddly though I don't smell really any citrus from the bergamot. I ordered it specifically because I love my Earl Grey, and figured it might have a hint of that smell. While it doesn't, I'm still pleased with the order as again, ii smells really nice. If you're buying as a gift it definitely looks really cool and fancy. Solid well made box that just looks expensive, which presumably is the plan. It all fits together really well too, which lends to the feeling fancy overall appearance. The bottle itself looks nice as well if you decide bit to keep it in the box. Granted it's way easier to use without it, but the box just looks cool. Relative to other scents in cost it feels like a pretty good value for the money. Great for a gift or if you just want to treat yourself to smelling nice. Read more

This cologne is so fancy... I actually didn't know what to expect when I ordered this. It's like ordering clothes online without testing for fitment or quality of materials. Fortunately the bottle of "Story of Azura Bergamot" perfume by Prince Parfums Dubai was a bit more than what I expected. Let's start with the fancy packaging of the bottle. You can tell they spent quite a bit on making the box that the bottle sits in look very luxurious and functional. The design and imagery of the box oozes luxury. The feel of the box is quite nice as the design of the graphics and such is not just flat, but it has raised design elements to give you a texturized feel for a unique sensory experience. The inside of the box cuddles the fragrance bottle with soft velvet. Unfortunately, when my package arrived and I opened the box, the bottle was lose and rattling around the inside of the box. Luckily it didn't break, but in the future it would be nice to put in some cushioning on the top of the box to keep the bottle from getting dislodged. The bottle itself is actually bigger than I thought it would be and it has quite a heft to it, meaning that the glass bottle is made with thick glass. The main feature of the Prince Parfums Dubai - Story of Azura Bergamot is the fragrance.. or better yet, the smell or aroma . It's hard to put into words what the fragrance is because everyone has a different sense of smell. When I sprayed some of the parfum into the air, I took a sniff of it and it had somewhat of a sweet floral smell followed by almost a woody mature undertone. When I sprayed some of the parfum on my wrist, the smell transformed into something warmer, more sophisticated but now the sweet floral became the undertone. It was like the sweet smell was the follow up dessert to a savory dinner. This and other fragrances you buy change depending on your body chemistry so, what I smell could be different to the next person who tries it on. Overall, I like this parfum.. It's something different that I was not expecting and I got lucky that the fragrance was not bad at all. Read more

Perfumes and colognes are highly subjective, yet I do have some insights to share that I would want to know before purchasing. It has a fairly strong scent (two sprays is too much) and preservatives to help it remain potent on your skin. That said, in my tests, it was almost gone after only 4 hours. I'm giving this one 4 stars for being a great gift in its presentation. The aroma is highly subjective, as is the price, but staying power and less than perfect sprayer keep this from being 5 stars from me. Hopefully my insights here are helpful. What I like ~ • Excellent gift box. It is quite large, with a bit of weight to it; and the blue decorated with shiny silver and black evoke quality at the price point this is asking (see pic). • The bottle is a very dark blue that looks fantastic on a lit shelf (see pic). • The ingredients confirm that this is a quality cosmetic product with a complicated aroma and additives typical of higher end fragrances that preserve the scent when outside, under the sun (see pic). • The spray is well aeriated and a single pump provides a generous amount. What I do not like ~ (possible deal breakers for some, especially if you do not like citronella candles) • There is an impression of citronella candles within this complex aroma that I simply cannot stand. This may not bother many people, given how popular citronella candles are but it keeps this one out of my top 5 fragrances because the main person I wear scents for is me. • At this price point, I want the bottle to make it more obvious which way the sprayer is pointed. I have memorized that mine points to the right side, when looking at the front of the bottle, but since two sides of the bottle are identical, ensuring I am holding the bottle correctly requires more attention to operate than it should. • The pump blasts a full spritz only - trying to lightly push it down either doesn't budge or plunges all the way down.
