Well, there are other factors. Azula is a child of wartime. Such "grow up" and "mature" faster than non-wartime children. She was also the child of privilege, so taught such things as beauty and bearings.

Finally, and this is not canon but the observations of my profession, she has many earmarks of having been abused. Sexually. By her father most likely. I doubt the creators meant to show such markers, although considering how they initially intended to try slipping Korrasami under the radar, who knows?

At any rate, in a couple more years Azula might start to utilize her feminine wiles to better capacity, but what we saw in canon she did not.
