Z Zegna

Here's another ordinary, fresh and typically blue fragrance. But I need to say one thing: it's very underestimated! Z Zegna is a scent full of similarities with other more refreshing, as Acqua di Gio, Tommy, etc. Its fragrance has notes of Sicilian bergamot and Rosemary, on top; white pepper, nutmeg, and Iris, in the heart; patchouli, oakmoss, and cashmere wood, in the base. I would say that Z Zegna is an aromatic-Woody scent, because the bergamot is responsible for the freshness, but is the Rosemary that gives the Minty tone that combines perfectly with the pepper. From the base, the biggest highlight is the oakmoss and its forest nuances, humid and Woody at the same time. Z Zegna is simple, linear and has, in a way, a plea for elegance. Personally, I never managed to keep a fragrance as my signature for a long time, but I remember I finished a whole bottle in about three months, wearing it almost every day. Z Zegna is pleasant, has good projection and the lasting on my skin was very good, especially for the kind of fragrance that is. Here is one of the few examples of colognes that I nominate purchase blindly, even more for those who live in a country as hot as mine (Brazil).

It's not categorically an aquatic, but there is enough calone in it that you can't not perceive it as an aqua type fragrance. But aqua is only one of its dimensions, and it isn't a "blue" at all. Certainly not one of the non-aqua blues, and not an aqua-blue either. This is the only "aquatic" I like. It's the only fragrance where the calone is concentrated enough that I can directly smell it, but the calone somehow DOESN'T blank out all the other notes and the overall fragrance. That's what calone does to my nose: It erases the entire fragrance. Except here, somehow. Now: Ordinarily, the calone not deleting the rest of the fragrance wouldn't automatically be a good thing, because I'm not big on aquatics and the ubiquitous showergelly theme anyway. But Z Zegna has non-aquatic complexity. "Aquatic" is only one of its dimensions, and the rest of what's there is good. It isn't trying to be a "freshie," I might compare it to something more like what I call "daytime Hommes" as a category. A herbal and spicy one of those. A not-soapy and not-sweet one of those. And not powdery either, despite the presence of iris.

Awesome Fragrance! Fresh, Spicy, Woody, Elegant, Modern and Unique. It smells so good and very pleasant, There is a Harmony between its notes and This perfume has a Masterful Well-Blended Composition with Italian Style. In my opinion, It is above many of its genre. Nowadays It is hard to find and It is very Rare, l found and bought It blind-buy by chance with reasonable price. It opens up with fresh citrusy, spicy, floral and spices notes in the background then dry down is earthy woody. This is perfect for the spring and summer and I really enjoy it and I love it very much, I'm so happy that I have it in my collection, Longevity is Average, The Iris and Rosemary notes are dominant in this scent. Highly Recommended. Two Thumbs Up Bravo Zegna ! Rating : 8.5 / 10

Scent: 7/10 Value: 7/10 Longevity: 7/10 Sillage: 4/10 Versatility: 6/10 Z by Zegna will always be a staple for me. The scent is great. This is definitely fresh spicy. For the first few minutes, you will get a bergamot blast but it turns out to be a great fresh scent a bit longer into the wear. It has a clean feel with just a touch of spice in the dry down. You really can't go wrong with this one. There is no issue with longevity. I get 4-5 hours on clothing. Sillage is average but really good for this price point. My lady likes this scent. She says it's fresh and clean but also warm and inviting (think a little fresh spicy). This one will be a continual repeat buy for me. It's good enough to go down as a classic.

This is a beautiful fragrance, fresh and warm at the same time. It offers a good balance of citruses and warm spices. It is an elegant and polished smell, although it has been overly used by many, which is not necessarily a bad thing, since it is a sign of its quality. The first time i tried it, it reminded me of a lot of people i know that used to wear it. That is the main reason i would not wear it, because i tend to like unique things. But this is a very nice fragrance and i would recommend it. It makes an awesome office/work smell, and the performance is also very good.
