Hooray, Monsieur Zadig is here!!! Finally appeared in the forum, my thanks to Mr. Joe! :-)

See also my comment on Signor Vivara, as I would otherwise have to repeat too much :-)

Monsieur Zadig is an absolute masterpiece among the animalic-oriental-sweet men's fragrances, it strongly reminds me of the women's fragrance Shocking by Elsa Schiaparelli from the 1930s.

Monsieur Zadig is loud, is frivolous, is androgynous, is sexy...is one of my all-time favorites, but unfortunately no longer available. What a shame.

It starts aldehydic + citrusy, then develops through rose, jasmine, and clove into a sultry, misty floral quality that ends in an erogenous sweetness typical of nearly all fixatives from the animalic-leathery genre, which is further complemented by opopanax and Peru balsam.

If anyone ever finds it somewhere again, SNATCH IT UP!! ....and send me a decant ;-)))

Reminds me of Knize Ten, a bit sweeter and more iris-heavy, it seems. Damp leather, animalistic and pigskin-like. It's also milder than Knize.

Carries the same DNA as Knize Ten, the legend among men's fragrances. Sweet-leathery: for the confident man unafraid of an androgynous touch.

neither smoky nor animalistic. a fine, noble scent. it doesn't smell like monsieur zadiq, but like his gentlemen's room. vintages are true niche!

Yes, Knize Ten but a bit more modern (what was modern in 1971...) and somehow cheekier. A big, very indecent nose show.

My favorite leather scent. Beautiful and more lasting and noticeable than many EdPs these days...
