Zino Davidoff
by Davidoff
Zino Davidoff is a deeply layered, woody oriental scent that exudes classic masculinity with a mature, refined aura. It opens with a bold, slightly medicinal mix of lavender, bergamot, and clary sage, creating a sharp, aromatic intensity that unfolds into a rich, earthy blend of patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla. The heart reveals a warm, balsamic floral core of rose and geranium, seamlessly integrating a subtle, sweet vanilla-dried wood foundation. The dry-down is smooth, slightly dusty, and deeply characterful—earthy, slightly animalic in profile, yet never overwhelming. This fragrance is not for the casual wearer; it demands confidence and suits mature men who appreciate timeless classic scents. Its performance is moderate, with projection that settles after the first hour, making it ideal for cooler weather and intimate occasions. Despite being reformulated, it retains its essence and remains a standout among budget-friendly classics.
