Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

About

Zegna Colonia opens with a bright and invigorating burst of bergamot and neroli, tempered by a touch of cardamom for a hint of sophisticated warmth. As it settles, a floral heart of iris and violet emerges, lending a subtle powdery greenness, thanks to galbanum. The drydown is a clean and comforting blend of Virginia cedarwood and musk, anchored by a soft benzoin sweetness, creating a refined and understated finish.
