DAVIDOFF Zino Eau de Toilette 125ml

Product Information

Aapproach this story carefully, as if I were meeting the famous man from Geneva for the first time all over again. I enter his shop in the Rue de Rive. It’s before noon, and the master receives me personally. Even at his distinguished age, Zino Davidoff finds time to serve his customers. Every morning, he spends at least one hour in his store. If the store is cigar heaven, then what lies beneath our feet is yet another paradise. Over two million cigars lie in wait, under optimal conditions, in the 250-square meter cellar. The loss of individuality and character weighs heavily on the mind of someone almost born into Jermyn Street royalty. Eddie (left) and Edward Sahakian, son and father, have been working together at their shop for 13 years. The first striking thing about this cigar is the metal tube that it comes in. It has all the elegance of Classic White Label Davidoff products, and creates anticipation to discover what’s inside! Zino Davidoff Group is the trading name of Zino Davidoff SA, [1] a Swiss family business that was spun out of tobacco-product company Davidoff in 1980. [2] It is active exclusively in the non-tobacco luxury goods segment and offers a range of upscale products. [3] Overview [ edit ]

The elder Sahakian has smoked some of the world’s most prized cigars, and he casually mentions how he has 30- and 40- year-old smokes at his reach. But he’s come to realize that there’s more than just aged tobacco that makes a cigar special. Davidoff recommends pairing the Signature Line of cigars with an aromatic milk coffee. That would certainly be a great combination! Luxury retailers do not exist in isolation, of course. Jermyn Street is a unique ecosystem for those who like to live well, and along its length you can buy an eccentric but somehow coherent range of products to satisfy a wide range of tastes. Eddie thinks this is a very important part of Davidoff’s positioning, both physically and in the market. Indulge in exhibitionism, whether you are lighting or smoking your cigar. This is one of the most personal and gratifying experiences that one can have. This is your moment in the day to relish in the tranquility of the cigar. Let the cigar be your focus and relish the time you have with it. One thing you may notice from the get-go is that it is easy to smoke this cigar too fast, especially if you are not paying attention and/or are used to smoking larger ring gauges. So please be sure to keep that in mind!

Overall Experience

As I progressed through the first third, the flavor and aroma remained consistent, and complexity was achieved by the interplay between the sweet cedar, forest floor, and tea flavors that seemed to dance around the palate. Smoking time is said to be between 50-60min. I made mine last 1 hour and 45mins, leaving just about 1cm left and not once did it go out And it is this velvet smoke that leaves a very crisp and at the same time soft impression on the finish. 2nd Third Smoking Experience The firm, and the Sahakians, place enormous store in the welcome they provide to anyone who comes into the store. Eddie thinks this is both good business, encouraging customer loyalty, and also a reflection of cultural instincts hardwired into his family.

It went on to influence many perfumes - the connection to Heritage(Guerlain) and Beau du Jour (Tom Ford) is well known. It also seems to have influenced Lui (Mazzolari) - which just feels like they undressed Zino. So, less rounded & sweet and more rancid, sweaty, animalic Patchouli. Even Danger (Roja) is definitely influenced by this, via Heritage - a posh modernised variation. Zino Davidoff, as a soft woody-amber fragrance with a predominance of the chocolate-powdery notes of patchouli, is surprisingly relevant today,although it was discontinued in 2013. At present, it would goseamlessly with the collection of aniche perfume house from Europewhose motto is 'soft, natural sexuality and a classic approach.' Give it a name like Lavender Patchouli or Patchouli Cashmere, and launch it! Maybe Teo Cabanel would name it Très Parisien.

So, for the 1986 Zino, Almairac took the structure of the feminine classic Shalimar Guerlain - citruses and flowers based on vanilla and tonka beans - and masculinized it, fortifying the base with cedar, sandalwood, and patchouli, but omitting tonka beans. The tophas been given a classic men's barbershop duo of lavender and rosewood instead of Shalimar'sflowers."

Clench your cigar between your teeth. Unless your goal is to replicate the brute actions of Tony Montana from Scarface, this is not a behavior a gentleman should exhibit. Smoking a cigar should be an elegant display, not brash or unsophisticated. And for the love of God, please never talk with the cigar in your mouth. Remove it first and then speak. Your listeners will thank you for giving them that respect. Take your time smoking your cigar, a puff a minute is about right. Smoking a cigar is an experience, not a chore. There is no need to wildly puff your cigar as allowing it to cool for a moment won’t be long enough for it to self extinguish. Being a smoker is not, however, essential. It is helpful if the staff can talk customers through the products from personal experience, but what is most important is “a natural love of cigars and tobacco. That’s, I think, important… you must have the interest in the product. Because you cannot fake an interest in a product.” Relight your cigar if less than one quarter of it is leaf. This really comes down to quality of the smoke. If your cigar keeps going out then chances are you should leave it out. Continually relighting it only strengthens its harshness. Construction and performance of the Davidoff Signature No. 2 are, not surprisingly, excellent. One of the interesting things about the smoking experience is the interplay between soft cream (especially in the smoke and mouth feel), delicate floral aromas and brisk tea in terms of a bright and refreshing taste profile and finish.
