Zino Davidoff by Davidoff (1986)



Zino Davidoff by Davidoff (1986)


Now, THIS is a cologne. Seriously. There will come a time in every fragheads life, where out of every scent they have tried, there will be what I like to call "The One" (No not The One by Dolce & Gabbana, but if that does it for you then respect to you!) "The One" is that fragrance that is always there for you, like your best friend (Or that really cute chick you knew in high school who kept you in the friend zone). Depressed? just got fired? Cute chick from high school keeping you in the friend zone? spray some of your one on and you'll feel better in no time. That's how much love a man has for "The One".

About the scent: In this case I have three scents which fit into this category, YSL Opium Pour Homme, Armani Attitude Extreme and last but not least Zino Davidoff, this scent BLEW ME AWAY!. No joke!. I picked up Zino on Amazon for about £24 for the 120ml bottle (Yes, it really is THAT cheap) and I had heard it get alot of talk online as one of the better Davidoff scents before Cool Water there was Zino Davidoff, named after the cigar king himself, and it reflects everything he stood for, class, taste, and overall quality, Zino's scent reflects these qualities masterfully, there is no cologne in the world that could re-define Zino's style.

Where to where it: Zino is like owning a vintage car, it's classy, it makes you feel great, it looks awesome, but at the same time you rarely ever take it out to drive. That is exactly how I feel with my bottle of Zino, I wear it around the house often but I feel kind of guilty when I do, as if to say "Should I really be wasting this?" it really is great stuff, it's a classic example of why I am not price biased, even though I can easily get another 125ml bottle for under £30, I still don't like wasting it. If you ask me this one is definitely for dressing up, weddings, dates, board meetings, masturbating over your ex in candlelight...oh...wait *cough* scratch that last one.

Conclusion: Overall, Zino is an excellent fragrance, I would say it deserves more attention, but to be honest I'm glad it is under the radar so it's not over worn and too popular. Ignore Cool Water and The Game and all of the other popular Davidoff scents, go online and buy yourself a bottle of Zino and just TRY and tell me it's not a masterpiece...TRY!

I'm not asking...I'm ordering you to buy it!
