Zino Deodorant Stick 70g
Davidoff Zino Deodorant Stick 70g is grooming rather than perfumery, and it carries a scent that is a good deal older and richer than most deodorants manage.
The accord is the one Michel Almairac composed for Zino in 1986. Brazilian rosewood gives it a warm and slightly spicy wood character at the top, with lavender for a clean herbal edge, clary sage for a nutty bitterness and bergamot for polish. The middle is properly floral for a men's scent: geranium, lily of the valley, rose and jasmine, which together read rounded and faintly powdery rather than sweet. Underneath sit patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla and cedarwood, earthy and creamy with a soft sweetness, and that base is what you will still notice hours later.
In stick form you get the top on application and a trace of the base for the rest of the day. The florals and the woods in the middle need skin and warmth that a deodorant does not give them time to find, so take this as a hygiene product with a good smell rather than a substitute for the fragrance.
Apply after a shower to dry skin, give it a moment to set, and it will not mark a shirt. Seventy grams lasts most people around two months, and it is the obvious thing to pair with the eau de toilette. For anyone who wears that fragrance, it is also a way of carrying a little of it on days when the full bottle would be too much.
The Davidoff name was made by cigars, sold from a Geneva tobacconist's shop that opened in 1911 and built up by Zino Davidoff, the man this range is named after. Fragrance and grooming are produced by a separate licensed company, whose catalogue runs from Good Life, Echo and Silver Shadow to Adventure, Champion and Run Wild, with the 1988 Cool Water at the front of it.
