Description
“Acqua Di Iris for the Zegna man whose sophistication, confidence and freshness make him a pillar of modern style. Like a breeze from the Mediterranean, he embodies the carefree spirit of the Italian coast, seeking newness and innovation. Enter the world of the alluring, complex Zegna man with Acqua Di Iris.” – Ermenegildo Zegna.
Acqua Di Iris reportedly reflects Italian luxury, modernity, sophistication and sensuality with the powdery scent of the iris flower. Citrus freshness at the beginning of the composition is achieved by the combination of bergamot and violet leaf with spices. The iris heart is rounded off by a base of cistus labdanum, musk and sleek woods that include sandalwood.
Available as a 100 ml Eau de Toilette. Acqua Di Iris was launched in 2017.

It starts off funny, fresh and silky and gets heavier, sweeter and scratchy with each minute. At the end you are stuck with a heavy powdery flowery scent which not even smells like the iris. I never liked iris based fragrances and this is no exception.

The best male Iris for me.
Less soapy than Prada L’homme and a bit more masculine (less makeup bag) than the Dior Homme line, whilst retaining the freshness and versatility of Iris.
Longevity and projection decent, about 4 hrs projection followed by another 4 as a skin scent.
I tend to favour Citrus and Woody fragrances, but this is the one Iris fragrance that I see as a keeper, predominantly as a versatile, subtle, upmarket work scent…….sadly it looks like it’s already discontinued as it’s not on the Zegna website.

Beautiful long-lasting fragrance!!

The labdanum dancing with iris make this very masculine and musky leathery scent.
Very similar vibe to Canali Style, with fantastic longivity.

Beware the Nutmeg.
My first impression of the opening was Dr Pepper!?. Neither fragrantica and basenotes list nutmeg but Zegna’s own web site does.

Anyone willing to do a split/decant ? I’m in the US.
Thanks
PS. I’ll edit this to an actual review after I try it on, placeholder till then.

What a lovely smell. Bergamot and iris all the way through. Although this smell is most likely linear it’s not boring. If you like bergamot and iris this position is a must to try.

My husband sampled this at the airport, it’s gorgeous and lasted for 9 hours. No mistaking the earthy iris in this, totally masculine and lovely.

If your a fan of the iris in Dior homme, Prada lhomme etc then I think you should definitely check this one out! My views match CB23’s. This is what i was hoping Florentine Iris would be but FI is too piercing and has this shampoo/body wash vibe that I find way too feminine for my tastes. Great upscale/office frag!

I find this to be much nicer than Florentine Iris which was too feminine for my taste. Projection and longevity is similar between the two, not terrible nor amazing, around 3-4 hours
Definitely a fresher and more unisex leaning slightly to the masculine but easily pulled off by either gender in my opinion. Pretty much the perfect autumn/winter office scent. I could also see someone pairing or layering this with Prada L’Homme

This is a lighter take on the Zegna’s private line Florentine Iris (FI). Here we have the same formula of the more expensive but lighter, not as sweet and feminine. This is much more inexpensive but very good quality for entry level designer offering. The scent is a lighter take on FI but more masculine, classy and versatile. I see this as a more wearable FI, and that is a GOOD thing. However, the performance suffers because it is on the average side with 3-4 hours on my skin. It is worth it however because it is cheaper, and the scent smells more expensive. 4/5 stars for me, only knocking down one star for the performance.
UNTO – :
The labdanum is pretty obvious in this formula…dislike this point.
