by Ermenegildo Zegna
Florentine Iris by Ermenegildo Zegna is a remarkably refined, unisex fragrance defined by its fresh, powdery iris core. It unfolds with a crisp, clean opening of bergamot, jasmine, and violet, evoking the subtle sparkle of laundry in sunlight or a refined soap. The scent remains linear and elegant throughout, with a delicate musky drydown that lends it a mature, poised character—neither overtly masculine nor feminine, but commanding in its understated sophistication. The longevity is outstanding, often lasting 12 hours or more on skin and lingering on fabrics for days, while the sillage is moderate and discreet, making it suitable for professional environments and daily wear. Despite its floral and powdery notes, it avoids being overly sweet or feminine; instead, it balances freshness with depth, achieving a sense of quiet confidence. Many describe it as the essence of a perfectly tailored, immaculate white shirt, embodying luxury without ostentation.
