The review
Genius Costa scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Costa Azzurra.
Emper sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Costa Azzurra's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Emper publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Tom Ford Costa Azzurra is myrtle, seaweed and driftwood at first, oakmoss, vetiver and cypress at its heart and labdanum, olibanum and amber at the end. Emper set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- myrtle
- seaweed
- driftwood
Heart
- oakmoss
- vetiver
- cypress
Base
- labdanum
- olibanum
- amber
Salty driftwood, herbs and moss evoking a sun-warmed rocky shore; green, woody and coastal.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
