Azman Killer Vavoom Karl Topham©
Imagine, for a moment, a lake of molten chocolate, and on its banks trees of colourful balloons lilting in shimmering lights.
There’s a divine chaos in the air tonight, and the crowds are caught in a euphoria of lust and uninhibited audacity.
A magic carpet transporting desires to a carnival of sensory paradise. It is the essence of freedom and love.

A narcotic and mesmeric scent, which produces a sensory dance of epic proportions.
The prose of life is punctuated by moments. Moments are transitions and milestones that we cherish and hold close to us. They have immeasurable value, provide infinite pleasure and can elevate our consciousness to new heights. Azman Perfumes founded by Husen Baba is a new brand (2021) that was created to elicit such emotions. As the name suggests, Azman in Arabic translates as ‘Hours’ or ‘Moments’ to define a range of scents such create intrigue and my interest was duly peaked.

Husen Baba sought out a creative talent with the ability to fuse vintage and contemporary perfumery. Thus, the collaboration with perfumer Miguel Matos was decided. Azman Perfumes Killer Vavoom is a scent that has a strikingly sensual and voluptuous quality. It is a bombastic and tempting fragrance that has a magnetic allure, In fact at a recent party numerous guests asked “What is that fragrance? It is intoxicating”. The clash and contrast of the classic ‘chypre’ with deeply animalic undertones is achieved in an explosive meeting of florals and narcotic ingredients. Imagine the surge of intoxication against a backdrop of beauty.
“I really wanted to clash a classic structure with a contemporary twist. My perfumes often do this, they work with contrasts and clashes. And sometimes, harmony comes after a bang!”

And wow, does Azman Killer Vavoom open with a bang! It blasts forth harmonizing the intensity of an unexpected late-night encounter with the dawning realization of deeper emotions. The initial blast of decadent chocolate is a surprising, sizzling and explosive launch to the scent and the combination with deep, rich plum is an incredible sensation. Killer Vavoom creates a surging crimson heat that acts like a tempting succubus, drawing one in with an intense fervor. The chocolate akin to flowing raven locks and dark-dazzling eyes. Whilst the plum is deep and luscious, resembling a provocative pout of full and eager lips. As the scent draws one closer in audacious fashion – it is impossible to resist.

Whilst the opening is pure excitement, the transition of Azman Killer Vavoom is deeply sensual. As with the rhythm of the Tango, the perfume sways and hypnotizes as you reach the decadent heart of the fragrance. The secret here is Iris Concrete, rich, opulent and highly dosed, the effect is transfixing. Suddenly, we are caught unawares in an embrace of buttery ambrette, chocolate and iris. The experience is pure sensuality, of delicately holding curves of hips adorned with ruby and gold. As the sultry tones mix intoxicatingly, the blurring and entrancing beat cocoon one in a lavish aura of jasmine and animalic tones of osmanthus. Subtle hints of rose acting like delicate fingers caressing the back of one’s neck softly and lightly indicating promises yet to come. This is a devastating combination of fine natural ingredients with a core of precious flowers, the rose augmenting the overtly sensual effect of this spell-binding scent.

The rapturous finale of Azman Killer Vavoom presents the hidden depths of a musky-leathery accord created with oakmoss. It sweeps you across the dance floor with the smoothness of a fine pair of black and red Louboutin heels. The amber and vanilla add a slightly gourmand nuance to the tone of the scent, which expresses danger on all fronts! Sweet words dripping with honey whispered into one’s ear with anything but pure intentions. Earthy patchouli rounds off the composition beautifully and perfumer Miguel Matos’ palette here is used as a weapon of seduction and entrancement.
As a result, Azman Killer Vavoom blends the addictiveness of gourmand facets, the animalic and carnality of white flowers and the depth of leathery touches. Bold, beautiful, erotic and deeply sensual, Azman Killer Vavoom is the scent that will enrapture you, it will entice you and will leave anyone around you truly breathless. Try it if you dare. Don’t say you weren’t warned!
