  1. Ugh! The best neroli I’ve tried so far: super fresh and versatile, though it feels unisex due to the ingredients. I have a mystical respect for Zegna because they release fragrances and then discontinue them quickly, so grab this while you can; it’s a blind buy I’d fully endorse. The ingredients smell natural and high-quality, presumably because they harvest them themselves. In my opinion, it’s better than Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino: it lasts longer, smells just as good, and is cheaper. 10/10.

  2. Ugh, the best neroli I’ve tried so far: super fresh and versatile, though it feels unisex due to the ingredients. I have a mystical respect for Zegna because they release perfumes and then discontinue them quickly, so make the most of this. Without a doubt, it was a successful blind buy. The ingredients smell natural and top-quality, as they claim to harvest their own raw materials.

  3. This smells very similar to the classic Sanborns Cologne Water, but in an extremely elegant version. Absolutely recommended. It projected very well in the first hour. I think it will last around six hours. I’ve only just started testing it and will share my final thoughts shortly.

  4. A very lovely fragrance. I received it as part of a promotion when buying another perfume, and it was a pleasant surprise. It projected strongly for the first two hours before settling into a bubble about 20cm wide for another two. After that, it stays close to the skin for around four hours. This was in an enclosed space; in open areas, it would need more application, but it is surprisingly long-lasting for its type. The only drawback is that it is very linear, without detracting from its great quality. In my view, it is totally unisex. I’m not a fan of unisex scents, but for the elegance of this Ermenegildo Zegna, I recommend it without hesitation.

  6. An exquisite fragrance with the air of a classic cologne, reminiscent of Acqua di Parma, Guerlain, Chanel, Dior, Armani, and others. A Mediterranean and classic masculine aroma where the neroli feels quite natural and pleasant. A+

    I’ve been wearing Acqua di Neroli for two hours and already want to smell like this. It’s floral, fruity, with a herbal and woody touch. The citrus notes aren’t as sharp as in Bergamot; it smells more like pulp than zest, so it must contain more fruit, but what really stands out is the neroli flower, which gives it that soapy touch. Without changing much, woody notes emerge over time. It’s for casual use, during the day and in the heat, ideal for spring and summer. Like other fresh citrus-floral scents, it lasts about 5-6 hours: the first two hours are well-presented, and the rest stays close to the skin. I’ve loved it because the ingredients feel high-quality and the scent is very pleasant.

    Wearing it for two hours, I became captivated and wanted to smell like this. It’s floral, fruity, with a herbal and woody touch. The citrus notes aren’t as sharp as in Bergamot; it smells more like pulp or juice than zest, so it must contain more fruit, but what really stands out is the neroli flower, which gives it its name and that soapy touch. Without much change in the aroma, woody notes appear over time. It’s for casual use, during the day and in the heat, ideal for spring and summer. Like other fresh citrus-floral scents, it lasts about 5-6 hours: the first two hours are strong, and the rest stays close to the skin. I adored it because the ingredients feel high-quality and the smell is very pleasant.
