Zegna Intenso
Ermenegildo Zegna · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 2007
≈ $45 · 100ml · approx. retail
The third men's fragrance from the house, built on a play of light and dark: sparkling citrus and pink pepper up top give way to a smoky iris-and-vetiver heart and a warm tonka dry-down. A more intense, evening-leaning counterpart to the original Essenza di Zegna.
