Posted by Robin on 5 October 2021 5 Comments

Ermenegildo Zegna has launched XXX by Ermenegildo Zegna, a new trio of fragrances for men: XXX Charcoal, XXX Cyprium and XXX Verdigris.

Introducing Ermenegildo Zegna XXX, a new Eau de Parfum collection that establishes a contemporary class of fragrance and expression. Now you can break the mould with these three multidimensional scents including Verdigris, Cyprium, and Charcoal presented in unique melting glass bottles. Created using the finest and rarest ingredients in nature, the XXX signature scents reveal a richly textured composition of sophisticated notes.

XXX Charcoal (grey; shown below) ~ "When vibrant Saffron meets a mineral Carbon Accord. XXX Charcoal imparts a lasting and inspired impression. Explosive notes of Black Pepper ignites the senses, as a striking vibration of elements crystallize a sleek Carbon Accord into the dusty essence of Graphite." An oriental woody fragrance; additional notes include limbanol and elemi.

XXX Cyprium (copper bottle) ~ "When Cedarwood Atlas Oil meets a fiery Lava Accord.Setting all inhibitions aflame, XXX Cyprium forges a profound new balance between raw, rugged nature and contemporary life. Rich Cedarwood and the malleable essence of Copper are burnished with fiery notes of charcoal for a smooth signature scent with smokey nuances." A woody chypre fragrance; additional notes include wild violet accord and herbs.

XXX Verdigris (green bottle) ~ "When Cardamom Essential Oil meets an Icy Winter Accord. An enticing collision, XXX Verdigris reveals itself through an infallible trail scent of liquid metal. Warm spice ignites the explosive freshness of metallic Aldehydes notes in a fragrance that gives way to the elemental force of a strong Titanium Accord." A woody watery fragrance; additional notes include thyme and violet leaves.

Ermenegildo Zegna XXX Charcoal, XXX Cyprium and XXX Verdigris are available are $180 each for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

    Saw the blocky bottles and then the name, which my brain instantly turned into “Jenga!” ?

      Ha, excellent!

      I think there is also a zegna clothing and sneaker collection called XXX, which is supposed to be aka “triple stitch”.

        Aha! I thought XXX might be Xtra masculine for XX chromosome people. 😉

    Our email filter at work used to flag XXX as dirty, not just on the email text but also within the innards of attached files. Who would have thunk?
