Fragrance / 2025Essere Gentile by Zanini is a Oriental Woody fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Essere Gentile was launched in 2025. The fragrance features Cypress, Myrtle, Oud, Olive Tree, Liquidambar, Benzoin, Bitter Orange, Galbanum, Chinotto, Olive, Cedarmoss, Vanilla, Oakmoss and Vetiver. Essere Gentile by Zanini is a unisex fragrance built around a contrast of resinous woods, aromatic greenery, and soft sweetness. Notes of chinotto and bitter orange introduce a citrusy bitterness, while galbanum, myrtle, and Lawson’s cypress bring a green, slightly aromatic facet. The composition is grounded in a woody and mossy base of olive wood, oud, oakmoss, and cedarmoss, enriched by the balsamic warmth of benzoin and liquidambar and rounded by a touch of vanilla. The result is a perfume that combines citrus, woods, and resins with a subtly sweet and mossy character.
