  Another Ermenegildo Zegna fragrance, lovely, citrusy and pleasant, smelling like a traditional cologne. The official website lists bergamot, rosemary, neroli and vetiver, slightly different from what Fragrantica indicates. Its performance is linear; it smells almost the same from the start until it dries down. To me, it smells of slightly sweet orange or tangerine with a herbal touch and a woody base; it reminded me a bit of Loewe Solo. It’s a correct, simple and relaxing fragrance, like being in an orange grove. Its longevity on me reached 8 hours. UPDATE: I tried it again and it is truly very pleasant; it starts very citrusy and then becomes floral with the neroli; it’s a modern aromatic citrus, almost artisanal. If I previously thought it smelled like Loewe Solo, this time I believe it has more similarity to one of the Acqua di Parma scents, though I can’t remember which one.

  Hello! What a summery, citrusy, and rich fragrance, but what a pity it lasts as little as a breath, like most of this type; on my skin it didn’t last more than 40 minutes, after which it was barely detectable. Still, I recommend it for hot weather, after all, just because it doesn’t work for me doesn’t mean it won’t be a delight for others.

  LOVE AT FIRST SNIFF and now for real: this will be my next purchase. I rate myself as having my favourite fragrance with the top bergamot note (I have a favourite for every citrus: grapefruit with ‘Homme Sport’ by Dior; pure orange with ‘One Summer’ by Calvin Klein; lemon with spices with ‘Eau Sauvage’ by Dior; blood orange with ‘Orange Sanguine’ by Atelier Cologne; tangerine with ‘Little Italy’ by Bond No 9; lemon with cloves with ‘Jean Marie Farina’ by Roger & Gallet; orange with petit grain with ‘Eau d’Ornge Verte’ by Hermès; orange with roses with ‘Eau de Pamplemousse Rose’ by Hermès; tangerine with cardamom with ‘Design & Motion’ by Bugatti and so on…). Simply put this is the Ermenegildo Zegna I discovered and became obsessed with ‘Essenza di Zegna’. A fragrance of very high quality. I agree with my friend Betoo Ruiz: we are facing a conceptually classic fragrance made the old-fashioned way. Moderate longevity low sillage. For hot/tropical/summer climates. Its dry-down is quite subdued (almost incense-like). PS: It reminded me terribly of the green notes work L’Occitane en Provence does in its fresh fragrance line.

  Love at first sniff, and now for real: this will be my next purchase. Right now, I rate it as my favourite fragrance, with that top note of bergamot (I have a favourite with every citrus: grapefruit is Dior’s ‘Homme Sport’ (2008); pure orange is Calvin Klein’s ‘One Summer 2010’; lemon with spices is the classic unrefurbished ‘Eau Sauvage’ by Dior; blood orange is Atelier Cologne’s ‘Orange Sanguine’; tangerine is Bond No 9’s ‘Little Italy’; lemon with cloves is the classic ‘Jean Marie Farina Extra Vieille’ by Roger & Gallet; orange with petit grain is Hermès’ ‘Eau d’Ornge Verte’; orange with roses is Hermès’ ‘Eau de Pamplemousse Rose’; tangerine with cardamom is Bugatti’s ‘Design & Motion’, and so on…). Simply put, this is the Ermenegildo Zegna I discovered and fell in love with in ‘Essenza di Zegna’. A fragrance of very high quality. I agree with my friend Betoo Ruiz that we are dealing with a conceptually classic fragrance, made the old-fashioned way. Moderate longevity, low sillage. Suitable for hot, tropical or summer climates. Its dry down is quite subdued (almost incense-like…). PS: It brought back terrible memories of L’Occitane in Provence’s work with green notes in their fresh fragrance line.

  An initial burst of bergamot with citrus and some floral notes, completely linear and with a trail that is far too low for the first two hours before vanishing entirely, the end of the story (all this while crushing the diffuser twelve times!). I considered writing this review at the end of the day, but no; after wearing it for two hours it had already disappeared from me, and I had to reapply it just to write this review. As another user mentioned in a review of the Hugo Boss classic, this has been a great disappointment for me, or rather a complete fiasco, starting with its scent, which is nothing more than a kind of cheap barbershop lotion, akin to any Old Spice; in fact, the classic Old Spice has much better performance than this rubbish, projects far better and lasts much longer. And if we are talking about cheap but higher-quality options, it is quite similar to one sold here called Sanborns Classic Orange Flower Cologne; only that the Sanborns version, unlike this Zegna rubbish, feels nothing soapy and has much better performance in every way. A high-quality fragrance? Absolutely not; its very low projection and even scarcer longevity say the exact opposite. As for the price, there is no talking about it; this thing cost me nearly $70; there is a 740 ml presentation of the Sanborns version for approximately $10, offering much more product and far better quality than this Zegna garbage. I certainly recommend trying it before buying it, so you do not end up like me: I was guided by previous reviews and what seemed like a wonder turned out to be a great disappointment.

  An extremely fleeting initial burst of bergamot with citrus and a touch of floral completely linear with very low sillage for two hours before disappearing end of story (I pumped the diffuser 12 times!). I thought about writing the review at the end of the day but no; after two hours it had vanished on me and I had to reapply it to write this. As another user mentioned in a review of the Hugo Boss classic this has been a great disappointment for me or rather a fiasco. Starting with the scent which is nothing more than a cheap barber’s lotion any old Old Spice; in fact classic Old Spice has better performance than this rubbish projecting and lasting longer. If we are talking about cheap but quality items it is similar to the classic Sanborns orange blossom cologne but the Sanborns one doesn’t smell like soap and has better performance. Is this a high-quality fragrance? Not at all its low projection and scarce longevity say otherwise. As for the price let’s not even talk about it; it cost me nearly $70; there is a 740ml presentation of the Sanborns one for about $10 much more product and quality than this Zegna trash. I recommend trying it before buying do not let it happen to you as it did to me: I let myself be guided by previous reviews and what seemed a wonder turned out to be a great disappointment.

  A tremendous citrus fragrance and very linear; despite that, at the end the floral notes are barely noticeable. Its weakest point is longevity: in truth, the hair fixative I use lasted longer. Acqua di Bergamotto lasted on my skin exactly 2 hours projecting and one more hour close to the skin, a total of 3 hours. What a pity it lasts so little as it has a quite pleasant scent; I definitely wouldn’t recommend it unless you get it at a very good price and already own some citrus fragrances.

  I simply adore that Italian bergamot note; I can picture myself in a white shirt strolling through southern Italy very pleasant. If it lasted longer it would be spectacular.

  Charming scent; Zegna certainly knows how to do this very well.

  Lovely scent, Zegna really knows how to do it well.

  Undoubtedly, this fragrance is a true delight with Italian charm at its finest. Its composition of bergamot, citrus, and marine notes is formidable. My misfortune is that its longevity is poor (maximum 2-3 hours) and its trail is barely moderate; it’s more for personal enjoyment than to impress those you pass. Additionally, in my city, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find in department stores.

  Acqua di Bergamotto has no reason to envy any compatriot; it faithfully represents what is expected of a classic Italian fragrance. It is a cologne with lots of bergamot and neroli/floral notes, evolving gently into woods and aquatic notes over a musky base. It evokes cleanliness and security, someone well-dressed with nothing to lose and much to gain. It is a beautiful scent that faults only on longevity, but within its simplicity, it is perfect and very well balanced. It resembles the Bergamotto di Calabria by AdP quite closely and doesn’t seem immensely original, but at this price and with its construction, it’s worth having as a representative of colognes. Note: 8/10

  Of all the nerolis I’ve tried, this was the only one that made me constantly bring my nose to my wrist.

  An Italian citrus cologne with a one-hour lifespan. Nothing more.

  A refreshing and sober formulation. It lasts on the skin for what it costs: very little. During that brief period, it offers a blast of freshness in the old-fashioned style of soft, revitalising colognes. A secondary marine note with an ideal balance. If worn in a ring where higher-performance fragrances compete, it certainly falls short, yet its structure denotes good taste and sophistication; in that sense, it would never end up as a knock-out, losing only by failing to stand until the final round. A delicate bottle for what it costs, similar in shape to those from the ‘maison’ but costing a few hundred euros less. Congratulations to Acqua di Bergamotto!

  Sober freshness that lasts just long enough: barely an hour. Within that time, it’s a blast of classic, marine, revitalising cologne. Perfectly balanced. Compared to longer-lasting perfumes, it falls short, but its structure screams good taste and sophistication; it’s never a knockout simply because it can’t last the full fight. Delicate bottle for the price, similar to a ‘maison’ but hundreds of euros cheaper. Well done, Acqua di Bergamotto!
