Description
Tom Ford Costa Azzurra Eau de Parfum is a vibrant Aromatic Aquatic fragrance designed for both men and women, though often preferred by men for its fresh, woody-masculine character. It is crafted to evoke the “hedonistic pleasures of the Mediterranean,” blending crisp sea air with the resinous warmth of a coastal forest.
Fragrance Profile and Notes
Categorized as a Citrus Fougère, this scent balances bright citrus with deep, earthy undertones.

Performance and Occasion
According to reviewers from The Perfume Shop and Sephora, this Eau de Parfum is celebrated for its versatility:
- Versatility: Ideal for daytime wear during Spring and Summer, though it is noted as sophisticated enough for any dynamic lifestyle.
- Longevity: While some users on The Perfume Shop note it may require reapplication, others on Sephora describe it as an extremely strong scent that provides a noticeable presence even from 20 feet away.
- Aura: It is described as a “clean and fresh” scent with an aquatic vibe that transports the wearer to the Riviera.
Presentation and Application
The 100 ml bottle features a luxury fluted design with a gold-toned metal plaque and matching cap, reflecting its elegant Mediterranean theme.
- Application Tip: Tom Ford Beauty recommends applying to pulse points and avoiding rubbing the skin after application to ensure the fragrance molecules develop naturally.
- Comparison: Unlike the Costa Azzurra Parfum version, which is deeper and focuses more on coastal forests, the Eau de Parfum is considered lighter and more aquatic.
