Back then one of my favorite fragrances... back then
About 15 years ago, during my second fragrance hype phase, this was one of my favorite scents. I even had the limited edition from Ducati. Z Zegna Ducati Edition As well as an extremely rare travel version in an aluminum bottle. I was quite taken with it. My main fragrance in spring and summer. Definitely has a youthful appearance. Target audience is probably a younger clientele. New, it costs about €0.70/ml.
About the bottle: The feel/grip is superficially smooth, as it is made of glass, transparent, flat, and wide. It fits well in the hand. Additionally, it has a rubberized plastic coating on the sides that prevents/slows down slipping. Thus, good handling is provided. The cap also seals the sprayer well. It sits quite tightly at first, but this becomes less so with more frequent use. The spray head is located in the lower middle area. Completely sufficient.
About the scent: In the opening, there is a citrus freshness with strong aquatic notes, with slight hints of woodiness and a certain spiciness, as well as added green undertones. The citrus components noticeably fade over time.
Longevity is about 5-8 hours, placing it in the good middle range. Sillage is about 3-5 hours, which is also in the middle range.
Conclusion: The scent was often worn back in the day. I went through several bottles of it over the years. At some point, I just stopped repurchasing it. Certainly a pretty good fragrance, but it feels too youthful for me now. It’s no longer the scent direction I favor, so it’s clear that the time would run out. I still had half a bottle of the travel spray which I have now finished. .....
