Z Zegna Milan
by Ermenegildo Zegna
Z Zegna Milan presents a soft, creamy fig note that unfolds with a woody, slightly resinous drydown, enhanced by clary sage and sandalwood. It carries a delicate balance of sweetness and green dryness, delivering an unexpectedly refined profile that errs on the pleasant side of unisex. The scent is most coherent and appealing in moderate or cooler temperatures, offering a moderate sillage and subtle projection that lingers gently across the day. It's not the most complex scent—some users find it linear, with the fig dominating from start to end—but its quality, affordability, and quiet confidence make it an under-the-radar standout.
Pros
- +Delivers a distinctive fig presence with a rich, creamy, and slightly sweet profile
- +Offers a well-blended, balanced woody-fruity accord that works in various settings

Cons
- −Can feel too sweet or powdery for some users, especially in hot weather
