Zadig, from Emilio Pucci was released in 1971. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Aldehydes, Bergamot, Coriander, Orange, and Peach, middle notes of Cloves, Honey, Jasmine, Orris Root, and Ylang-Ylang, and base notes of Amber, Benzoin, Cinnamon, Civet, Musk, Patchouli, Tolu Balsam, Vanilla, and Vetiver.
While there are slight similarities to La Nuit, which to me is outstanding and incomparable to anything else, Zadig resembles mostly those animalic and honeyed chypres of the 70’s that also had an everlasting freshness. Deep, woody, leathery and wildly exotic but with a fruity freshness that permeates all layers. Not cheap fruity like today, but that juiciness of ripe fruit, mature and heat scorched but irresistibly delicious once bitten. Most similar fragrances to me are Vu, Azzaro and Mila Schon. Also, Eau de Zadig is simply the edt version, not a different fragrance. The same case with Metal-Eau de Metal, Calandre-Eau de Calandre etc.
