Ermenegildo Zegna XXX Charcoal is a sleek modern woody scent that fuses a mineral graphite impression with sizzling black pepper and luminous saffron, then melts into resinous warmth where elemi and the dry glow of norlimbanol evoke polished embers and dark stone. The result feels clean, slightly smoky, and impeccably tailored for day to evening wear.
Launch and Perfumer
Launched in 2021. Perfumer Alexis Grugeon for Firmenich.
Olfactory Notes
Graphite, Black pepper, Saffron, Elemi, Norlimbanol.
Story and Positioning
Created within Zegna’s XXX line, Charcoal explores the meeting of heat, metal, and earth through a carbon and graphite idea shaped against spice and resin, capturing a refined industrial mood with couture polish. If you enjoy the inky woods of Lalique Encre Noire or the mineral freshness of Prada Luna Rossa Carbon, this sits in that sophisticated axis while remaining unmistakably modern.
Bottle and Design
A deep grey glass flacon appears gently softened at one corner, paired with a weighty square cap bearing the XXX emblem. The minimal artwork and smoked tone echo the graphite theme and give the bottle a smart runway ready attitude that feels collectible and gift friendly.
