Zegna Forte

I feel shame *rings shame bell as i walk among the people* for having not reviewed this yet, considering it has been a daily go-to for quite some time. This was a simple decision - the bar has more "loves" than "likes", the notes look fantastic and the price is realistic. This was a "what the hell" type buy. This did not knock me of my feet at first spray. It was more like "hey, that's decent". however, after several applications, i began to deconstruct the scent and was able to pull subtle nuances that became very pleasing to me. It's sweet and slightly tangy, with a dry lavender/tobacco background. i think this is totally appropriate to wear year round - being that this is not a heavy scent, the citrus keeps it appropriate for hot, warm, cool and cold weather. 8/10 this could easily be a signature scent if you're willing to give it a chance. Like many fragrances we've come to love, this was slow to grow, but now, i find myself pulling for it consistently. Nothing unique here - but separates itself with quality, occasion and price. Something you should buy.

Love this its got the lighter fizzy sherbet lemon sorbet in the top notes...which somehow keep coming back within the first hour or so on my skin. Then the woodiness and tobacco in the base are just delightful and make for a real winner in my book. I think this one could be a little much for some after a while...and not an everyday fragrance for me...but I still love it. It's funny how fragrances can instantly remind you of people you haven't necessarily seen or thought about for a while. He wasn't the sort of guy you discussed male grooming with so I never asked but I often noticed he smelled good. This is a little anomalous though because Forte came out in 2010 apparently and I've not seen my friend in at least 5 years...strange? Maybe there's a very similar fragrance out there? Or I'm wrong? I doubt that though ...I trust my sniffer.

Amazing frag. It has that armani code dna with such subtle sweetness that is so well blended and not offensife. A honey note is a backbone of this frag that gives much better and smoother sweetness rhan code. It is not sweet like many frags but its subtle and can be worn in summer evenings because of this. Yeah... a honey tonka frag for summer. But this is so light it can be worn on a summer dinner. Imagine a cooler summer night, a casual suit and this frag enhances your subtleness, giving you that luxury feel. It gives a gentle aura that keeps on going. Longevity is very good. I can smell this on my skin after 8 hours easily. Projection is about 3 bit when you move, ppl can detect. Definitely better and longer lasting than code. Better than Intenso too.

I love this one. Opening is strange but after 15 minutes you know it is strange because it has something of wild animal (the sexy one). And then charming spicy and herbal notes plus warm wood. It's really diffrent. If you do not want to smell like others pick that one. Fresh and elegant one, not for boys, but also not for man ofer 50. Women likes it and you can see in their eyes they sense that wild animal in you. Longevity: 10/10 especially compering with the powdery ones Fragrance: 9/10 as I have to agree that it doesn't change much Bottle: 10/10 glass undertoning from translucent white to dark black is the only similiar thing to La Nuit de L'homme

Out if Zegna's fragrance...this juice is very pleasant with a sweet, creamy aroma from mostly honey and tonka bean with amber making it very luxurious. The base notes of woods and tobacco create a real attractive masculine aroma as a spicy base of pepper. Longevity and Silage is moderate overall lasting about 4-6hrs. Overall, This fragrance is definitely underrated...I do find it very pleasing with a clean/powdery vib thou it's listed as a fall/winter scent. I agree that it very affordable for a decent juice. 7/10
