Sexy Tobacco

Strength is a mixture of Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum and Chergui Eau de Parfum.

Tone down the resins and swap out the vanilla in TV with a rich golden honey then remove the powdery facet from Chergui equals "Elements of Man - Strength | Ermenegildo Zegna".

Plain and simple. No need to type a long review. Smells gorgeous and if you can find it, get it. If you don’t like it, someone will definitely buy it. Maybe me….

One of the BEST and most UNIQUE and OPULENT tobacco fragrances that I've EVER smelled!

This is deep, rich, moist, and fruity. Like that of an expensive cigar shop. The oud in this only lends to the depth of richness of the tobacco, as if making it 3D.

To me, it's better suited for Fall and early Spring. Reason being, the bit of warmth still in the air brings out ALL the facets of the fragrance versus in the Winter where it becomes smoky and piney and the rest of the notes become minimized. I find the apricot and honey, as well as the tobacco leaf itself, doesn't come out to bedazzle and whew you in colder climates. But, hey, your mileage may vary.

All in all, this is really good juice that, in a sea of tobacco fragrances, has not been done before. Sadly, it's extremely hard to find and thought to be discontinued.

The Epitome of Niche

Ermenegildo Zegna is one of my favorite fashion brands of all time. When I stumbled upon the Elements of Man Strength fragrance at Heathrow Airport in London a while ago, I finally pledged my endless love to the brand E.Z. The scent is something truly special, and you can smell that from the very first breath.
Because while you can casually categorize the scent of many other fragrances in your mind, for this one, you have to invent an entirely new category. That's a good thing. Because this fragrance proves to us that it belongs to the best niche fragrances for men. If we can categorize a fragrance immediately, then we have probably smelled it or its ingredients somewhere else before. And that is exactly what we don’t want.
