About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Florentine Iris by Ermenegildo Zegna, launched in 2012, is a floral masculine scent that places iris at the forefront. The listed top notes—iris, musk, violet, Calabrian bergamot, and jasmine—create a powdery, violet-forward opening with a bright citrus lift. The main accords confirm this: powder dominates at 100%, followed by violet (85%), iris (81%), musk (62%), citrus (53%), and earthy (50%). There are no heart or base notes listed, so the composition is likely linear or the pyramid is simplified. This is a refined, old-school iris with a musky, earthy undertone, not a sweet or loud fragrance.

Collectors who appreciate powdery florals like Dior Homme or Chanel No. 19 will find this intriguing. It suits mature men, formal or office wear, and cooler weather. The iris is rooty and cool, the violet adds sweetness, and the musk provides a skin-like finish. Since it's discontinued, bottles are sought after for its unique take on iris in masculine perfumery. If you enjoy subtle, powdery scents with a vintage feel, this is worth seeking out.

中文簡介

Ermenegildo Zegna 嘅 Florentine Iris 喺 2012 年推出,係一款以鳶尾花為主導嘅男性花香調香水。根據香調表,前調包含鳶尾、麝香、紫羅蘭、卡拉布里亞佛手柑同茉莉,出嚟嘅效果係粉感極重、紫羅蘭同鳶尾突出,仲有陣陣柑橘清香。主調比例顯示粉感佔 100%,紫羅蘭 85%,鳶尾 81%,麝香 62%,柑橘 53%,泥土感 50%。呢支香冇列出中調同基調,可能係線性香或者香調表簡化咗。整體氣質成熟、復古,帶少少泥土同麝香底蘊,唔甜唔搶。適合鍾意粉感花香嘅男士,例如 Dior Homme 或 Chanel No. 19 嘅粉絲。由於已經停產,市面上唔容易搵,收藏價值高。適合返工、正式場合或者涼爽天氣用,展現低調優雅嘅品味。
