by Ermenegildo Zegna
Ermenegildo Zegna Passion is a rich, boozy, and intensely aromatic fragrance that delivers powerful projection and exceptional longevity, particularly in colder weather and evening wear. It opens with a bold blend of cognac and rum, layered with saffron and olibanum, creating a warm, spicy, and incense-laden aura that feels both mature and confident. The dry down reveals a deep amber base with subtle hints of oud and tobacco, lending a refined sweetness without becoming cloying. Despite its designer origins, the performance and craftsmanship are widely compared to niche fragrances, with many praising its quality and depth. It’s not subtle—its presence is strong and resonant, making it ideal for night out occasions rather than day or office settings.
