Wayfarer

First Impressions & Dry Down

Wayfarer opens with a blast of cinnamon and bright mandarin, trying hard to mimic Wanted by Night's alluring first impression. The lavender is more pronounced here, lending a slightly sharper, less rounded feel. The heart features those boozy, fruity notes of the OG, but they lean synthetic, almost candied. Red cedar is present, providing a dry, woody counterpoint to the sweetness. The drydown is where Wayfarer shines. The tobacco and vanilla blend creates a warm, inviting base, similar to the original, but with a touch more cedar. It's roughly 90% of Wanted by Night. The differences lie in the quality of ingredients.

Bottom Line

Wayfarer by Paris Corner isn't a perfect replica, but it captures the essence of Wanted by Night remarkably well. the minor synthetic edges are forgivable. If you enjoy the vibe of Azzaro's nocturnal creation but balk at the price tag, this is a worthy alternative. It's a solid option for the budget-conscious individual who wants to project confidence and a touch of mystery without breaking the bank. But if you crave the highest quality and smoothness, stick to the original. Wayfarer is for the practical romantic.

Longevity & Projection

Wayfarer's performance is surprisingly decent . Expect around 6-7 hours of longevity on skin, with moderate projection for the first 2 hours. It settles closer to the skin after that, becoming a pleasant, intimate scent.
