The little coward

To pick up the headline first: For me, the fig is the clear tone here. I was really surprised that so many perfumers here perceive coconut as a fragrance.
I discovered the scent in the late summer of last year rather coincidentally for myself and then made it my holiday scent.
Actually, I was much more interested in Zegna Intenso, which I became aware of through the well-known larger YouTuber. Ermenegildo Zegna was not at all known to me until then. I then clicked my way through the brand's complete range of perfumes and somehow got stuck with the City Line. Also "New York" is a really passable fragrance, but for me it goes too much in the direction of Bentley Intense, which I like even better.
Now to come back to the actual fragrance:
What I perceive is a fruity, not too sweet fig. This note is by no means limited to the top note for me. It runs much more through the complete fragrance pyramid. After the fruity-fresh opening, a woody note (sandalwood) is added relatively quickly, which takes up more space over time.
The shelf life is very good for a spring/summer fragrance with ~6-7 hours and especially during the first hour you pull a considerable fragrance tail behind you with Milan. Then the scent moves a little closer to the body.
All in all, I am very happy to have decided to wear this fragrance a little off the beaten track and will wear it again this spring with joy.
