Azzaro admitted that he would sometimes skip a letter like Q, X or Z because it was too hard to find names for those letters.

Azzaro released a wide range of products including women's and men's clothing lines and accessories as well as a wide range of successful fragrances. in 1975 he created his first fragrance for women, 'Couture', which became his signature scent. Over time Azzaro became known for his fragrances as much as his clothing. Loris Azzaro died at the age of 70 in Paris France.

In 2004 French designer Vanessa Seward took over as head designer of the Azzaro label. The Azzaro label continues to release clothing but is now more well known for their fragrance line. Original Loris Azzaro vintage pieces are still very much in demand.
