This fragrance is a sun-drenched escape to the Mediterranean coast. For Tom Ford Costa Azzurra, I have used an "Atmospheric, Salty, and Luxurious" tone to capture the essence of a private island getaway where the sea meets the forest.

The Private Escape to the Mediterranean

Experience the uninhibited luxury of the Italian coastline with Tom Ford Costa Azzurra. This fragrance is a masterful capture of the "Azure Coast," where the salty sea air meets the woody warmth of the rugged landscape. It is an aromatic aphrodisiac designed for those who seek a scent that provides both relaxation and the power to conquer the day.

Costa Azzurra is an olfactory adventure—a key to success for the modern individual who values sophistication and the untamed beauty of nature. Housed in a bottle that reflects the golden light of the sun, it is the perfect companion for those who want their presence to feel like a breath of fresh, expensive sea air.

A Multi-Layered Marine-Woody Symphony

The composition is incredibly complex, moving from the depths of the sea to the peaks of coastal forests:

• The Opening (Top Notes): An intriguing and earthy start. Salty Seaweed and mysterious Agarwood (Oud) are blended with the herbal crunch of Celery Seeds, spicy Cardamom, and the musky warmth of Ambrette. It is a stimulating opening that immediately transports you to the shoreline.

• The Heart (Middle Notes): The fragrance transitions into a sun-filled garden. A crisp citrus burst of Lemon and Yellow Mandarin is layered over aromatic Juniper, Myrtle, Lavender, and Artemisia. This heart is romantic, fresh, and full of life.

• The Signature (Base Notes): The dry-down is deep, smoky, and enduring. A rich blend of Incense, Olibanum, and Lentisque is softened by Sweet Vanilla, while Vetiver and Oak provide a sturdy, woody foundation that lingers elegantly on the skin.

Why It Is a Summer Essential

• Coastal Contrast: It perfectly captures the meeting point of the salty ocean and the dry, pine-filled Mediterranean forest.

• Sophisticated Freshness: Unlike standard aquatic scents, Costa Azzurra uses Oud and incense to give the freshness a luxurious, "Private Blend" depth.

• Unisex Appeal: A versatile masterpiece that smells equally sharp and confident on men and sensual and breezy on women.

• Atmospheric Sillage: It creates a "vacation aura" around the wearer, boosting the mood and providing a sense of calm strength.

Expert Tip

Costa Azzurra is famous for its "salty skin" effect. To truly bring out the marine and citrus notes, apply it to your pulse points right after spending time in the sun (or a warm shower). The warmth of your skin will amplify the aromatic herbs like Lavender and Juniper, making the fragrance feel alive and exceptionally fresh.
