Il Sottobosco
Ermenegildo Zegna Il Sottobosco is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Fabrice Pellegrin. Il Sottobosco opens with Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Ermenegildo Zegna's Il Sottobosco carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.
This is a bold, modern take on earthiness that won't be for everyone. It's a divisive scent, with some finding it a unique masterpiece and others completely turned off by its 'wet soil' vibe. Definitely sample first.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Best Occasions
Given its subdued nature and lack of overtly 'pushy' projection, this scent fits well in casual or date settings where subtlety is appreciated. While it could work in an office if applied lightly, its earthy, niche character might be too unusual for some formal events.
