Onyx by Azzaro is often described as a fresh and spicy fragrance with a warm, aromatic character. Users note the prominent lavender and citrus notes in the opening, which give way to a herbal heart with basil and cardamom. The base is characterized by patchouli and amber, providing a warm, earthy finish. While many enthusiasts appreciate its unique blend and versatility, some general buyers find it too strong or not as appealing. It is commonly recommended for evening wear and cooler seasons, but opinions vary on its longevity and projection, with some users reporting it fades quickly.
