Madras Cardamom

Madras Cardamom by Ermenegildo Zegna, launched in 2019, is an Oriental Spicy fragrance for men. The top notes of cardamom, bergamot, and pink pepper open with a bright, spicy citrus accord. The heart reveals coffee and Virginian cedar, adding a roasted, woody depth. The base of vetiver, labdanum, vanilla, and ambroxan provides a warm, resinous foundation with a modern amber touch. The main accords—warm spicy (100%), aromatic (78%), woody (70%), coffee (67%), citrus (50%), and amber (47%)—indicate a predominantly spicy character with significant aromatic and woody facets.

This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate a well-balanced spicy oriental with a coffee twist. It is versatile for evening wear or cooler weather, appealing to those who enjoy cardamom-forward scents with a smooth, ambery finish. The absence of a named perfumer adds an air of mystery, but the composition speaks for itself: a harmonious blend of spice, wood, and subtle sweetness.
