Essenza di Zegna Ermenegildo Zegna 2012 Lotion Après-Rasage
Bergamot opens cleanly before yielding quickly to a white-floral heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lily of the valley — the ylang-ylang is prominent, lending a slightly heady, creamy quality to the floral accord.

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly before yielding quickly to a white-floral heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lily of the valley — the ylang-ylang is prominent, lending a slightly heady, creamy quality to the floral accord.
The base is where this after-shave lotion reveals its complexity. Oud, vetiver, benzoin, patchouli, and styrax converge into a rich, resinous structure with genuine depth. Ambergris adds a slightly salty warmth, sandalwood smooths the rougher edges, and musk keeps everything from feeling too dense.
As a lotion format, projection and longevity are inherently modest compared to an EdT or EdP. What remains is a well-constructed woody-balsamic oriental with floral staging — quiet but layered on skin.
