Coffee party with Zino
I'm rather skeptical about fragrances on which three perfumers have worked simultaneously, based on my experience with them so far. It's not for nothing that many cooks spoil the broth. This is not about porridge and the perfumers mentioned here are all quite experienced, but one wonders who contributed what and what compromises were finally made. At Parfumo there are several ways to filter for scents, but unfortunately not (yet) the function to find those created by several noses. Nevertheless, I think I know from memory that this does not necessarily lead to a top result.
Now Attitude by Armani is not a flop, but I'd still be interested to know what the task was called and how the cooperation with each other went. After all, the first thought that comes to mind when you take a sniff is a strong association with Zino von Davidoff and that should have been obvious - or it was intentional.
Attitude begins with a warm and spicy blend of lavender and cardamom, which is reminiscent of zino. However, the subtle shot of coffee makes the whole thing a little more unusual and refined. But even the manageable use of amber and extremely gentle patchouli cannot hide the fact that the spirit of Zino dominates, and you're more likely to find a flanker of it here than the Attitude is a fragrance in its own right, although it doesn't lack quality.
At drydown, when the coffee note has more or less disappeared, the proximity to Zino becomes even more obvious.
But if you first get to know Attitude and then later Zino, you will probably think the latter is a cheap imitation. It's too bad that this Armani fragrance was not a success despite its cool name and brand origin and the distinctive Zippo memory bottle. There must have been a lot of people who struggled with the olfactory end result. At least for the cooler days in the warm room or going out, it's actually ideal.
