Wanted by Night is a fragrance that commits fully to a mood: after dark, cool air, somewhere worth being. Perfumers Quentin Bisch and Michel Girard built it as a darker, denser companion to the origin...
The fragrance has a dedicated following that describes it as something of a guilty pleasure — bold enough that people are drawn to it, unsubtle enough that some feel self-conscious reaching for it. That tension seems to be part of the appeal.
Performance is widely regarded as strong for a cooler-weather fragrance — enthusiasts generally report solid longevity and enough sillage to generate compliments without being aggressive.
It's consistently separated from the broader Wanted lineup, with many who find the other flankers underwhelming rating Wanted by Night as a clear standout — sometimes the only Azzaro they reach for.
Fall and winter are the dominant use cases in community discussion, with evenings and nights out cited far more often than daytime or professional wear. The warm, heavy tobacco-and-spice profile is seen as a poor fit for warm weather.
First impressions are not always positive — a recurring theme is that the fragrance needs multiple wearings to click, after which it tends to build genuine loyalty.
