Helmeted and belted in with shiny black and a smooth, clean feel, its minimal shapes and airy curves are coated in matte black lacquer to trace out the form of a powerful and refined machine.
A true technological challenge, a laser-cut racing stripe recalls the legendary design of the Ducati S4R motorcycle and reveals in a mirrored reflection, like a gage, the signature of the brand and the fragrance level within the bottle. Finally, the shiny black cap covers a visual and tactile sketch of a V for a Vroom of Vitality…
A highly engineered bottle at the crossroads of fashion, design and modern competition. The Z Zegna fragrance remains just as sharp and conquering, in line with the Z Zegna man and the high-tech world of Ducati.
The head notes surprise us with vibrant, sparkling freshness that is absolutely masculine. Wonderfully Mediterranean Sicilian Bergamot blends with wild rosemary and the green note of enigmatic Casoar fruit from New Guinea.
The head notes reveal a floral touch of smooth, powdery iris before plunging us into a world of spices: nutmeg and white pepper, soaked beforehand in alkaline water. The base lingers with the noble sweetness of Cashmere wood, pungent patchouli and sensual oak moss with warm, earthy notes.
