Voux Zingy by PARIS CORNER

Honestly, at first it smells 99% identical to Torino21, which is why I sought it out. The trail is negligible and it lasts about an hour and a half on the skin; they say it reaches four hours once macerated, so I shall wait to see. It is exquisite, very similar to the original, but as it dries down the basil takes centre stage and separates slightly, which I actually prefer. Despite the minimal longevity, I recommend buying it.

I bought it yesterday and have tried it (without having Xerjoff’s Torino21 to compare). It is citrusy with a herbal touch of basil, reminiscent of the freshness of a mojito – very tasty and addictive. The weak points are the longevity: the trail lasts an hour before fading, and by four hours it is barely clinging to the skin. I understand it is citrus, so reapply and you are good. Worth it for the price; it is for summer, daytime, and informal use.

Voux Zingy is a fresh, herbal, and highly revitalising unisex masculine fragrance, with a modern and elegant character that conveys cleanliness, energy, and dynamism from the very first moment. Designed for those who love well-structured green and citrus aromas, with a clear but pleasant presence. The opening is intensely refreshing, marked by a very aromatic blend of mint, lemon, basil, and thyme. The initial green, citrus, and slightly spicy note has a natural and stimulating air that awakens the senses instantly. Far from being synthetic or aggressive, it is balanced and very well crafted. In the heart, this is where it gains complexity and elegance. Blackcurrant adds a very interesting acidic fruity touch, while lavender, rosemary, and jasmine reinforce its aromatic and clean profile. In this phase, freshness is maintained, but a more sophisticated and structured nuance is added that sets it apart from a simple citrus perfume. The dry down is clean and luminous, with lemon verbena prolonging the fresh sensation and musk adding softness and fixation. The final result is a fresh, elegant, and very comfortable sillage that accompanies you for hours without being invasive. It’s inevitable to compare it to Xerjoff’s Torino 21, and in my case the similarity is clear in the herbal-citrus DNA and the sporty yet elegant feel. Obviously, it doesn’t have the same complexity or refinement as the original, but Voux Zingy offers a very well-executed interpretation, more accessible and perfectly usable for everyday life. Given its profile, I consider it an extremely versatile perfume, ideal for spring and summer, especially for daytime use, work, outdoor activities, the gym, informal meetings, or even special occasions where you seek freshness and good presence without excess. Regarding performance, on my skin it presents very good longevity and notable projection for a fresh perfume, leaving a clean and lasting sillage that is perceived without being overpowering. In summary, Voux Zingy is a vibrant, elegant, and revitalising fragrance, perfect for those who want to project energy, distinction, and freshness. An excellent unisex option with a very well-achieved herbal-citrus profile and outstanding value for money.

Voux Zingy is totally unisex, fresh, herbal, and revitalising – modern and elegant, conveying cleanliness and energy from the start. For those who love green and citrus. The opening is refreshing with mint, lemon, basil, and thyme – natural and stimulating. The heart gains complexity with blackcurrant, lavender, rosemary, and jasmine, becoming more sophisticated. The dry down is clean with verbena and musk. The trail is fresh and comfortable. It resembles Torino21 in its herbal-citrus DNA, though without as much complexity. Versatile for spring/summer, daytime, work, or the gym. Good performance and notable projection. Vibrant and elegant, an excellent unisex option with good value for money.

Tried from a decant with two sprays. Fresh aroma of spearmint with a mentholated touch and a slightly sweet note. It is not for much; it smells good but is for daily wear and somewhat feminine, with no impact. I do not know the longevity but it will be scarce. I would not buy it as it is a scent without personality or more.

For those who say it does not resemble Torino21, it seems they have not tested it nose-to-nose; I have, and it is identical. HOWEVER, it lacks muscle and the power of the original. The cleanliness of the chords is a great success; there must be a quality difference as Xerjoff’s are extraordinary, but I found no such differences. I will let it mature as oxygen enters the bottle and will provide an update.

A very good and refreshing scent; the mint and citrus feel very well executed. It’s a good dupe of T21. The worst part is that in five minutes you only notice it close to the skin, and in an hour it disappears. I let it mellow for a month, but it didn’t improve even then, what a pity. If you want a perfume to last through work or class hours, forget it. We tested it with four different people outdoors and indoors, and it was a complete fiasco. I don’t know why they make perfumes with such scarce longevity.

I bought it based on YouTube reviews, but no one was honest about the very low sillage and how it clings to the skin instantly. After an hour, it’s gone. They say it smells like Torino 21, but I don’t know the original; that was my reason for buying it. To me, it smells like soap and reminds me of the Nautica Parfum Verde I’m gifting because I didn’t like it. If you want to try it, don’t pay more than $20. I paid £30 on Amazon.

Notable projection, notable dry down, notable performance. It’s a notable fragrance. 10/10.

Let’s start with what surprised me most: the projection, quite a show. It’s not a 100% dupe of Torino 21; the original leaned more towards fresh mint with citrus, while this is all about BASIL in capital letters. Basil with citrus, a touch of mint, lemon balm, and other herbs, all very realistic and sparkling. But there’s a significant catch: the longevity is lamentable, lasting between half an hour and 45 minutes on my skin. So I’m hoping with all my soul that it will mellow and improve. Edit: now that it’s somewhat mellowed, its longevity has improved and I can feel it for up to four hours.
