Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Zegna Uomo bursts open with a vibrant, sparkling hit of bergamot and other keen citruses, quickly smoothed by the airy, almost aquatic freshness of violet leaf, leading to a unique cucumber or even melon-like impression. A subtle, clean woody base of cedar and vetiver emerges, grounding the lively top with a refined, masculine edge. It's a fresh, ozonic composition that captures the essence of a clean, bright day.
