The New Scent From Zegna

published 7 May 2013

Opening up a celestial gate, the new men’s scent from Zegna is empowering but not overpowering

Described by its makers as being ‘for the aspirational man who lives with passion and steps up towards his destiny’, Uomo uses citrus bergamot, grown exclusively by Zegna, to give the signature scent its noble radiance.

Master perfumer Alberto Morillas developed the cocktail, combining it with violettyne captive (science’s synthetic solution to a more magnified violet leaf absolute), vetiver and cedarwood. Fresh with a sophisticated kick that elevates, the overall effect says achievement and success.
