Edit: 5/7/2019 I discovered that in addition to being a wonderful patch based perfume that this makes a great smelling hair mist. Normally I apply the scent directly to my pulse points but when I was spraying from my bottle one day I misted it into the air and let it settle. This created a nice compliment to my Rosemary/Mint shampoo and conditoner. Really clean and refreshing in a non-fruity and non-aquatic way!
There are about four men’s fragrances that I wear.
I wear Lagerfeld for men fairly often for that ashy tobacco fling.
I wear Coty Wild Woods which is a no-brainer if you love dry woody scents.
Canoe is the male twin of Ambush and I wear it occasionally.
Now for Zino I wear this rather frequently.
I always loved it, never got any of my men to wear it so I decided to buy it for myself. I bought a bottle a few years ago. It goes pretty far for me. I decanted it into a roller ball and that is my preferred application.
I am not great about expounding on notes but I suppose it is the cedar and bergamot and that woodsy dry down that I am most in love with. I also love patchouli but not straight patch. On others yes on me no. Zino gives me that ability to wear it beautifully.
I’ve read that this is a similar scent to Coromandel but I am not familiar with that scent so I couldn’t say whether it is or isn’t.
When I was a child at Christmastime we attended a stage play of A Christmas Carol. There must have been a gentleman nearby wearing something that this fragrance resembles. Anyway, that memory is one I always conjure up when I get a whiff of Zino. People dressed in suits and fancy dresses hair all slicked back or coiffed up, all classed up for a festive celebration.
An elegant and sophisticated scent.
This one is full bottle and back-up bottle worthy.

Edit: primary impression is a cedar rose patchouli on the masculine unisex side (I am a woman who likes men’s fragrance and vintage scent). I just added a star as I have been craving this more lately. basenotes member monkey bars pointed out its Jicky like inspiration and sense of classic composition (bergamot, Lavander, civet), but the men’s fougere cologne aspect softens beautifully and seamlessly into what would be today an equivalent of a niche unisex rose patchouli.
I am addicted to Voleur de Roses; I have a feeling that this will be the same kind of craving for me. Dry down is softly wood vanilla musk, but the cedar bergamot and Lavander are just enough to keep the structure and not disintegrate into softness (to mix metaphors). I have actually been layering a dab of vintage zino with a dab of vintage Farnesiana – no idea why I thought this would work, but on me it does.
Note: If you are not the type of woman who is happy to wear men’s fragrance, don’t bother with this. I am a woman who likes to wear all but the most modern uber sweet gourmands; I definitely enjoy men’s cologne and vintage extraits.
If you are on the cusp, I recommend dabbing, not spraying all fragrance, including this one, which minimizes any sillage, powderiness, sharpness or retro feeling.

Original review:
Bergamot/citrus, rose, Patchouli, cedar wood, sandalwood, Lavander, vanilla, musk, civet, men’s cologne from 1988? I have read that original bottle has Zino written in cursive, but I assume mine (new old stock with cursive writing) is a a subsequent reformulation.
ZD unfolds on my skin as a modern unisex citrus rose patchouli with a slight tinge of masculine (I think it contains some oakmoss, but maybe it’s a modern rose chypre-fougere mix). If you are used to the shocking modern niche Trend of oud, medicinal rubber or gasoline accords, this is easy to wear. Its NOT sharp citrus as Malles Noire Epices or as sharp traditional fougere (Guerlain Coriolan) or medicinal as Montales black oud. Not powdery like SL Fumerie Turque. Not as camphorous like Voleur de roses. ZD is also extremely well priced for an enormous lifetime supply (it’s a men’s cologne bottle after all. Some Fragrantica reviews compare it to Tom Fords Oud, and a reviewer below compares it to Voleur de roses. Less challenging to wear than vintage Azzaro Acteur, another masculine rose, which is more leathery and has a note of mace. To my nose, this doesn’t read as leathery. Chanel Egoiste (the original one) was a fruity rose cologne with wood, but the Chanel is a distinct departure – very different from either Acteur or Zino – more spicy sweet orientalish.
Recently I tried Maroc pour Elle, a fragrance that opens with Jasmine, but whose dry down somehow reminded me of dune and somehow of Zino. I found it interesting to compare accords of these different scents:
Accord in MpE: Petitgrain (bitter orange), Lavender, Rose, Jasmin, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Patchouli
Accords in Zino Davidoff: Bergamot/citrus, rose, Patchouli, cedar wood, sandalwood, Lavander, vanilla, musk, civet
Accords in Dune: mandarin, bergamot, peony, broom, Jasmine, rose, palisander, patchouli, Amber, oak moss, musk, vanilla, benzoin

This is an amazingly sexy scent that while advertised for men, I think some women can wear well. It reminds me a good bit of Thierry Mugler’s B*Men….IF B*Men were to learn a bit of class. The first 5 minutes on me are very masculine and intense but from then on…it’s pure heaven! I can’t stop sniffing my wrist…very deep, woodsy yet soft and not overpowering. A definite keeper, this is nothing like the generic dung-waters they’re mass producing these days :O)

This fragrance was quite popular among young elegant men in Italy years ago. I’ve never been able to stand it. They say it’s sexy and classy, but it gave me nausea and headache. The first notes are nice even if common, but the over-musty drydown is terrible! I tested it on my skin and it was a little better, but still musty. Maybe it doesn’t suit every skin.

i am wearing this fragrance (men’s) again after a LONG time — and it is a really lovely patchouli- heavy, woody, slightly sweet and bready scent. somehow it makes me think of voleurs de roses minus the roses (i think m. la porte must have known zino davidoff when he composed his voleur de roses).
it is warm, round and very appealing. autumnal, slightly smokey, and just plain comoforting (to me).
once, i stopped a guy in the street and asked him what he was wearing, and it was this.
now i remember why.
