L'Eau d'Issey Homme played at half volume, with less treble and with the woodwinds up front. Nice everyday and office scent. Not very long lasting. Recommended if you can get it at a good price.

This fragrance is so... sunny! I live in Poland and now we have rather bad weather here. For me EdZ is just a sun in a bottle.

Essenza di Zegna is simple and irresistible :)

It has a very clear note of myrtle, which is just amazing. Herbaceous, green, slightly earthy. A strong note of cardammon adds a lot of character to this masculine composition. The citruses are rather weak, and detectable only in the very beginning. A tiny hint of musk in the very deep background.

I love simple scents. This one won me over!

Essenza di Zegna is nothing really special. It doesent smell bad, but it is nothing more than ok. It was a blind buy, and its nice to have it in my collection, but I will not purchase it again. To be honest, I dont think I'll ever finish my 50ml bottle. There is just so many better frags in my arsenal. Longevity and sillage is below average, on my skin at least... Rating: 6.5/10

I absolutely love this stuff!

I don’t get any kind of aquatic vibe from this at all. It’s really very green and fresh with a hint of fruity sweet & sour thrown into the mix.

It’s perfect for daily office use and is extremely unlikely to offend even the most sensitive nose. In my opinion it’s also a versatile scent that can be used for almost any occasion and at any time of the year.

As far as the sillage and longevity go, it does stay fairly close to the skin but I use the EDT with the shower gel and after shave balm; so it pretty much lasts the whole day on me.

FYI; before I purchased this, I first tried it on paper. It was quite a pungent sharp green with almost no hint of the fruity sweet/sour notes. Then when I tried it on my skin, I got a totally different vibe from it. I guess this one has a lot to do with body chemistry, so a friendly word of warning: try before you buy.

This is cooling, simple and light scented fragrance for a man that feel like wearing a thin and fresh fragrance for a sunny day. It's appeared to be a type of mature & fresh scent with the opening of citrusy with hints of floral. Dry down that is musky woody, last 4 hours on me and silliage is normal as it is light scented and stay close to your skin. Great for outdoor or summer. I will give 6/10 for this.

This is blvgari extreme's half sister. You get the same strong citrus in both but as blvgari extreme is a noticable grapefruit, as this Essenza di Zegna's fruit is lighter yet puzzling, as the fruit is sour throughout. Another 'under the radar' soon to be added to the arsenal. This is the type of scent you wear when going into a place where haters roam b/c this will just put a puzzled look on their face that reads, "wtf is this dude wearing, i cant stand this dude." Sometimes you need that response to reassure yourself in life.

Very nice scent. Its not a light fresh watery scent its more a sour citrus smell . Its similar to Chanel Allure Homme Sport and DKNY Men 2009 when I compare. Moderate sillage and it last 8 hours on my skin. 8.5/10

This is a nice masculine aromatic citrus/chypre. Top notes are fresh and citrusy, but these quickly give way to something more ponderous and serious. Not a summer perfume, but rather what you'd wear to the office in the fall and winter. Low silage, and not long lasting.

This was a blind buy and a mistake for me. It has some similarity with Acqua Di Gio, that's for sure, but while the last one is light flowery, Essenza is not. Maybe more fruit, and recalls me watermelon a little (as many others aqua scents). I prefer Essenza just because it doesn't have that light flowery smell, but I'm not a fan of both of them. If you like this or that one, maybe you will like both; if you want to try or prefer other kind of "aqua scent", I'm not sure if you will enjoy this. I'm in the last group.

Smells like it's step brother, Zegna Extreme. A bit more sweet, aromatic maybe.
