The Final Conclusion of Wisdom?
Somehow, I find the individual titles of the new Elements series a bit flat and clichéd..and now I’m just missing something catchy like Womanizer, Frauenversteher, and Hausmann. When I look at the reviews of the series consisting of 5 fragrances, it seems not very well-known yet. This might be due to the high-price strategy, but they are already backtracking, from €250 to €205..mind you for 50ml, at least at Breuninger they are now significantly reduced.
I was somewhat intrigued by my predecessor..when I heard “stuff for a classic” I perked up and asked for samples during my last purchase. But even after the third test of Wisdom, the secret of this fragrance eludes me, let alone how one can give it a 4x10.0 rating. Yes, Wisdom is a beautiful and fine scent, smells very pleasant, citrusy-fresh, and slightly creamy. It will not possess the stuff to be a classic for one specific reason: this scent already exists: Petit Matin by Kurkdjian
Petit Matin is, for me, the finer of the two; it is a bit creamier, and has a touch more “pure” freshness. Wisdom is a little less masculine, but we are talking about nuances here. The longevity and sillage also favor Kurkdjian’s Beau. The price of €165/70ml certainly does too. So there’s really no single reason to reach for Zegna, unless you just can’t quite get along with the MFK style.
Both are great, fresh, and delicate fragrances, perfectly painted for spring and for early, relaxed hours in the morning.
Longevity for me is about 5 hours with quite low sillage...and I’m not really into gold anyway;-)!
