What does Zegna Colonia (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with neroli, cardamom and bergamot, the cardamom adding a spicy edge to the citrus. In the heart, galbanum brings a green coolness. In the base, benzoin sweetens the scent, while musk and cedar settle it onto a soft, woody footing.

Voters place it mostly in leisure, daily wear and the office, with some choosing it for sport. Night-out and evening votes are fewer. It is classed as a men's fragrance. For a close profile, Roger & Gallet Feuille de Figuier and M. Micallef DesirToxic are worth a look.
