Strength

Strength by Ermenegildo Zegna (2017) is a men's Oriental Vanilla built around a sweet, tobacco-forward profile. The opening leads with Tobacco Leaf and sweet notes, giving an immediate impression of cured leaf laced with sugar rather than dry ash. The heart brings Honey, Apricot and Agarwood (Oud), where the fruit adds a rounded, slightly jammy quality against the resinous wood. The base settles into Smoke and Pine, lending a cool, coniferous edge to the otherwise warm composition. Across the accords, sweetness dominates completely, supported by tobacco, honey, smoke, woods and fruit in descending order.

Collectors should expect a dense, gourmand-leaning tobacco scent rather than a crisp aromatic. The pine in the base keeps it from becoming purely syrupy, though the overall character remains rich and sweet. It suits wearers who enjoy honeyed tobacco and oud accords and who want a cold-weather signature with presence. Those who prefer dry, austere woods or light citrus openings may find it heavy. As a discontinued Zegna release, it appeals to completists of the house and to anyone seeking an accessible entry into sweet-smoky tobacco territory.

Ermenegildo Zegna 的 Strength（2017）是一款男仕東方香草調，以甜潤煙草為核心。前調由煙草葉與甜味展開，帶來糖漬煙葉般的濃郁印象；中調蜂蜜、杏桃與沉香交織，果香令樹脂木質更圓潤；基調以煙燻與松木收結，為整體暖意添上清冷針葉氣息。主調以甜味最突出，其後依次為煙草、蜂蜜、煙燻、木質與果香。

氣質偏濃甜、帶美食感，並非清爽型香氣。適合喜歡蜂蜜煙草與沉香組合、想在寒冷季節展現存在感的人；偏好乾爽木質或輕盈柑橘開場者或會覺得厚重。作為已停產的 Zegna 作品，對品牌收藏者及想入門甜煙燻煙草香的人都有吸引力。
