Short review and about Tomavicci's fragrances in general
I have been testing 6 perfumes from Tomavicci and I think they all are perfectly blended, good quality scents. Most of them lack individuality, but they are so well-made that if you are looking for a fragrance in that particular category, Tomavicci's fragrances have the sophistication, elegance, and versatility that many people want in a fragrance. They are not made for the true niche snobs who enquire new olfactive experiences and thrill.
Zenobia has the same element that I love in Ange Noir XXI and that is the beautiful and charmingly innocent fruity aroma in the background. In Ange Noir XXI it is Apple and here it's Blackcurrant. Of course, it's clearly more prominent in the opening, but it lives in the background just right, making the composition vivid. All the notes in this fragrance are delicate and fragile. This fragrance is definitely not one to skip over by looking at the notes. If oriental or leathery is not your thing, or you don't like Oud or Saffron, you may still like this. And for those who like strong, projecting, attention-grabbing scents, this one probably won't get very good scores. I've learned to appreciate subtlety and a shy nature in scents, they're needed too. This scent, like Ange Noir XXI , Xanat , Empyrean and Demigod XXI are absolutely great scents for many professions where the scent needs to appeal to a wide variety of people. On the other hand, the fragrances lack "that something" that was originally the idea of niche fragrances - artistry, uniqueness and a certain kind of challenge. Opulentia Oud is not so difficult either but for some people it can be too much.
Zenobia has a refined vanilla aroma, not thick, sticky or overly sweet. The florals are effortlessly elegant, and the base notes create a pleasant oriental quiet luxury style. There is nothing animalic in it, no remarkable, typical earthiness from Saffron but softness and intimacy, no clearly resinous or balsamic nuances but a subtle sweetness and warmth. However, all of the above together create a gentle oriental character that is extremely approachable. The scent is pretty, it's attractive and even if it's quite unisex I think most men would love it on women.
So the blend is 9, the uniqueness 3, the versatility 10, the aroma 8
I will write a review of each Tomavicci fragrance, Ange Noir XXI has been reviewed so far.
