Vanilla Pancake

Claudio Zucca · 2024

Sweet · Synthetic · Gourmand

Claudio Zucca Vanilla Pancake is a unisex gourmand that reads sweet, creamy and powdery, like a warm dessert plate. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays on the skin for a long while without filling the room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably on any wearer. The top opens with sugar powder, pancake, hazelnut and chocolate. Caramel, orange juice and cocoa deepen the sweetness in the heart. Benzoin and vanilla in the base settle it into a soft, creamy finish.

Deep Water

7.8

Claudio Zucca · 2022

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Claudio Zucca Deep Water is a fresh, aquatic unisex scent built around lime, green apple and ozone. It opens with lime, blackberry, green apple, mango, orange and bergamot, a fruity and citrusy burst. In the heart, ozone, magnolia, calone, marine notes and chamomile bring a floral, watery feel. The base of labdanum absolute, civet, vanilla and ambergris sweetens it and settles it on a woody footing. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of ratings is small, so these figures are tentative. The cool, watery profile reads equally well on men and women. Its profile is close to Birkholz Portraits of Portofino and Mancera So Blue.

Cereal Break

7.1

Claudio Zucca · 2024

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Claudio Zucca Cereal Break is a sweet, gourmand unisex scent built around cereals, biscuit and white chocolate. It opens with cereals, biscuit, hazelnut, white chocolate and coconut, which together recall a milky, creamy breakfast bowl. In the heart, red fruits and cherry blossom add a fruity, floral brightness, while cardamom brings a light spice and honey and milk add softness. Vanilla and amber deepen the sweetness in the base, with patchouli staying in the background to keep it balanced. A fresh accord stops the sugary build from turning heavy. Voters rate it 7.1 out of 10. The Dua Brand Breakfast Cereal and French Avenue Tropical Kiss have a close profile.

Bois Primitif

8.4

Claudio Zucca · 2022

Fresh · Floral · Fruity

Claudio Zucca Bois Primitif is a unisex scent that opens on blueberry, bergamot and cinnamon, then moves into a floral heart of damask rose and lavender. The top pairs the fruity sweetness of blueberry with the freshness of bergamot and the spicy warmth of cinnamon. In the heart, damask rose and lavender pull the scent towards a floral, powdery side. The base of vanilla, musky notes, cedarwood and ambroxan sets that gourmand sweetness on a woody footing. Its rating is high, though based on few votes. Its profile is close to Yves de Sistelle Chairman and D'Qar Mythos.
