XXX Verdigris

XXX Verdigris by Ermenegildo Zegna presents a bold, futuristic aquatic with a sharp green and metallic character. It features prominent aldehydes, icy mint, thyme, and cardamom, creating a crisp, almost synthetic coolness that feels modern and distinct. The scent evokes a sensation of frozen greenery combined with mineral and metallic nuances, leaning into the avant-garde aesthetic of high-end modern fragrances. Performance is moderate to long, especially on clothing, with a clean, clean sillage that's not overwhelming. The drydown carries a subtle soapy musk and a latent amberwood note, giving it a touch of warmth, but the overall effect remains cool and aerated. It's particularly well-received by those who appreciate fresh, untraditional aromas and are drawn to bold, duality-driven scents that blend cold and spicy, herbal and metallic elements. While not a traditional fresh green like Green Irish Tweed—or as pronounced as some other aquatic scents—the fragrance holds its own with an identity that feels both unique and wearable, especially in warm weather and in office settings.
