From C to Z
Oscar Wilde once said: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to genius.
And in this case it's Pierre Bourdon's Cool Water that's being praised.
Except for a sweet and powdery base instead of moss, these two are so alike Zegna is basically neutred Cool Water.
Ironically, Bourdon took the process one step further with Bergamotto Marino, an even more bland version that ends up very close to Zegna's insipid drydown. A case of genius flattering mediocrity perhaps?
