How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Labdanum
Harvested from the sticky secretions of rockrose shrubs, labdanum exudes an intense aroma that is both animalic and woody. Its scent can be likened to a blend of ambergris and vanilla, with hints of sweetness and a smoky undertone. This complex profile makes it a versatile ingredient in perfumery.
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
Woody Notes
Woody notes capture the heart of forests and aged timbers, offering a spectrum from fresh pine to rich sandalwood. These aromas stem from various natural sources like wood oils, resins, and barks, each contributing distinct facets of earthy depth and complexity.

Fragrances that pair well with Acqua Di Iris
Violet Amber Incense
Iris meets violet again on the 1826 side, while shared bergamot, labdanum and amber let the two powdery-woody bases merge instead of compete. Cinnamon, ginger and incense from 1826 give the Zegna's quieter iris some spice and smoke to sit inside.
Layer Acqua Di Iris closer to the skin and spray 1826 over it, since its incense and cinnamon need the extra reach to read through the powder.
