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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its moderate projection and clean, sophisticated profile make it ideal for the office or intimate dates. While versatile enough for casual wear, its elegance might be lost in very relaxed settings, and the lack of strong projection makes it less suitable for formal events where a 'statement' scent is often preferred.

About

Zegna Intenso opens with a zesty sparkle of lemon and mandarin, spiced up by a hint of pink pepper and cardamom. This fresh introduction soon gives way to a creamy, powdery iris, seamlessly blended with earthy vetiver and warm cedar. As it dries down, a comforting musk and sweet tonka bean anchor the fragrance, creating a smooth, inviting aura that lingers close to the skin.
