What does Z Zegna Extreme smell like?

It suits daily wear and evenings, and also gets votes for business and leisure, while sport and winter draw the fewest. It reads masculine. It has been discontinued.

Mandarin orange and grapefruit open it bright and fresh. The heart brings cardamom, juniper and rose, mixing spice with a light floral touch. Vetiver, cashmere wood, patchouli and musk build a woody base. Its profile is close to Sisley Eau de Sisley 1 and Jo Malone Assam & Grapefruit.
