Get ready for an exclusive journey into the world of Zegna's latest venture! A scent-sational adventure awaits!
Zegna, the renowned fashion house, is making waves with its new fragrance collection, 'Memorie', a tribute to its rich heritage. But here's where it gets intriguing: this launch follows a secret test last summer, offering a glimpse into Zegna's olfactory vision.
The artistic director, Alessandro Sartori, sat down with WWD to unveil the story behind these fragrances. Inspired by the life of founder Ermenegildo Zegna, each scent tells a unique tale. From the 'Inkwell' moment, capturing the essence of ideas, to the 'Undergrowth', a spicy woody tribute to nature, every fragrance is a chapter in Zegna's history.
And this is the part most people miss: the technical challenge! Sartori wanted fragrances that stood the test of time, so he called in the masters - Dominique Ropion, Fabrice Pellegrin, and Quentin Bisch - to create a range of notes, from leathery amber to gourmand woods.
Each scent is a masterpiece, with names like 'Il Calamaio' and 'A Trivero', and even a personal favorite of Sartori's, 'Saga del Piemonte', which evokes warm family memories. The bottles, with their soft gradient finishes, are a work of art in themselves, sealed with an ash-wood cap bearing the Zegna crest.
But the story doesn't end there. The collection's launch is a global event, starting in the UK and the Middle East, with a special campaign revealing the journey through Casa Zegna. And the involvement of actor Mads Mikkelsen, a longtime friend of the brand, adds a personal touch to the campaign.
Sartori's vision extends beyond the fragrances. He believes in building long-term relationships, as seen with his celebrity strategy and the involvement of Roman Coppola, who directed the campaign film. This approach is a key part of Zegna's success, and it's taking the brand to new heights, with a move to Los Angeles and the opening of exclusive clubs and Salotto Zegna stores.
With revenues on the rise, Zegna's group, which includes Tom Ford Fashion and Thom Browne, is expanding its reach, especially in the US. And Give Back Beauty, the company behind the Zegna beauty license, is a key player in the luxury fragrance market, with an impressive portfolio of brands.
