Heya Posse! One of my friends, Sonya, gave me this awesome vintage Azzaro Pour le Bain and I have been meaning to do this post for ages. I can only find one reference online and that’s on Etsy, there are a couple left too. It says that this is a pre-2000 bottle. Very bloody cool. It’s a heavily perfumed bubble bath. Only a few drops will give you a vintage Azzaro pour homme scent that fills your home. Astounding how well it held up after all these years. The bubbles are pretty low key and they don’t last for very long, maybe I should have used more but it was just too precious.
Azzaro Pour le Bain
Azzaro has these featured accords:
Top: Lavender Lemon Caraway Basil Bergamot Clary Sage Iris Star Anise
Heart: Vetiver Sandalwood Patchouli Cedar Juniper Berries Cardamom
Base: Oakmoss Leather Amber Musk
My bottle of Azzaro Pour le Bain has Parfums Loris on the front. They owned Azzaro from 1975-95 when Clarins bought the brand. They’re now under the L’Oreal brand since 2020.
The difference in smell between an Azzaro modern bottle and this bubble bath is huge. The vintage smells rich and creamy right from the start, it’s fuller and more tapestried. My nose is burnt out by the screeching opening of modern Azzaro Pour Homme. Though the modern does settle nicely after about 20 minutes it just doesn’t smell as good.
I’ve used this bottle incredibly sparingly over the years I’ve had it and am very sad to have finally finished it.
Have you ever had a beautiful vintage bath product? Tell us, please?

I wish I had a bath that allowed me to have more bath products. My tub is too shallow and too short to be useful. It wouldn’t submerge Ariana Grande.
Which is too bad because of I love a long hot bath and luxuriating in tub of suds, salts, or oils. I do have some bath salts that Roxana Vila gifted me before her move to New Mexico and sometimes I just uncork it and sniff it.
One day when you come to Oz Tom you can spend some happy hours in our tub. It’s not large enough to do laps but it’s perfect man size. I can submerge everything except head and tips of knees.
