I'm not the greatest fan of Zerjoff...only a couple of greats among the ranks and far too many disappointing scents. This one 1888, I had no preconceptions about and just picked at random to sample, I have to say I'm inpressed. Shocking really as I'm not the biggest lover of florals and especially white, blossomy ones. That's what I get from this is a lovely balanced floral opening spiced slightly with pepper and cloves. Then a warm woody heart with a beautiful neroli note. Yes 'beautiful'! Not that I hate neroli but it's not my favorite thing in the world. Just surprising when it appeared after what I thought was going to be a floriental/amber/spicy type scent it gives you a lovely fresh balance of the white floral note. The drydown is a soft powdered, suede and florals. Complex and very well conceived juice this one, I'm sure it would be a hit with those of you who like a gentle scent. I found it interesting and stylish, and quite Italian which is not something I often associate which Zerjoff, despite their origin. I loved this fragrance to be honest, a little bit disappointed by the performance it's good but not great, glad a checked it out though.
