Dunhill London, Ermenegildo Zegna Z Zegna Fresh ~ new fragrances for men

Posted by Robin on 8 February 2008 8 Comments

Dunhill London cologne for menDunhill has launched Dunhill London, a new fragrance...

...for any gentleman that embraces his surroundings, exudes his personality, and embodies the city in which he lives.

The fragrance is a "meeting between the fougere and the oriental families", and includes notes of red apple, rose, jasmine, geranium, patchouli, vanilla, sandalwood, tonka bean and musks. Dunhill London is fronted by actor Henry Cavill, of the Showtime series The Tudors.

Dunhill London is available in 50 and 90 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching grooming products. It is exclusive to Selfridges in the UK and is expected to go into wider distribution later this month. (first quote via selfridges, second via cosmeticsinternational)

Z Zegna Fresh cologne for menComing this March from Ermenegildo Zegna, Z Zegna Fresh, a limited edition variation on 2005's Z Zegna fragrance. Z Zegna Fresh...

...is said to inject notes of aquatic freshness into the original juice. Key ingredients include grapefruit, cardamom, juniper berry, ozone and the cassowary fruit, on a base of musk and woods.

Ermenegildo Zegna Z Zegna Fresh will be available in 100 ml Eau de Toilette. (via moodiereport)

Other recent fragrances from Zegna: Zegna Intenso, Essenza di Zegna Acqua d'Estate 2007, Z Zegna Extreme.

    Hmm… is it bad that the words “red apple” have already got my nose turned off of Dunhill London? Maybe I'm letting the air-freshner quality of fragrances like DKNY Be Delicious ruin the idea, but apple is never done right. There is no rind from which to get the proper oils from with apples; the smell that is created always smells either of sour fruity alcohol or apple candy flavoring, neither of which sounds appetizing or right for a masculine fragrance looking to be “a meeting between the fougere and the oriental families.”

    The florals also seem a little much, again, for trying to create a masculine scent; rose, jasmine, geranium and patchouli… quite the boquet of flowers for a city man. But Dunhill isn't too afraid of floral combinations in their fragrances, so it should work, if the sandlewood and musk can softly bite the florals, so then the tonka and vanilla would be alright, perhpas as a subtle base. Or not… I can't help but wince a little skeptically here.

    This could be a potent and imbalanced disaster in a bottle, but who knows… just can't quite get my head around the apple though. I'll just have to sniff it to satisfy my curiosity.

    I don't know if it's bad, but I dismissed it as soon as I saw “red apple” too. I'll give it a try whenever it gets to the US, but not excited about it.

      It’s possible, but we only do a few reviews a week so we don’t cover everything, sorry! I have never smelled either of those scents myself.

      We might or might not…it would really depend on whether they interested me (or some other contributor here). I’m just trying to be honest –there are a gajillion new scents every year, and so it’s not likely they’d get reviewed unless somebody tried them & loved them.
