A closer look at Ermenegildo Zegna Persian Saffron EDT
Ermenegildo Zegna is the house behind Persian Saffron EDT. It comes as Eau de Toilette.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its warm spicy side feels cosy and rich after dark.
How long Persian Saffron stays on skin
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. The Spirit Of Dubai Meydan and The Spirit Of Dubai Durra last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like ambroxan and benzoin are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Persian Saffron through the year
It is at its best in winter. It is less suited to spring. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, fall, summer and spring. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
