In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Io Resisto! by Zanini is a dense, smoky incense fragrance built on dark resins and dry saffron. A citrusy burst of yuzu opens the scent, which quickly transitions into deep, warm myrrh and frankincense. It is designed for those who appreciate meditative, woody compositions with an artistic, unconventional edge.

Reviews →

Overture Man opens with a sharp grapefruit citrus note mixed with heavy cognac booze and warm cumin. The scent settles into dark, resinous myrrh and dry wood, wrapping the wearer in a smoky, leather shield. It is a bold, challenging fragrance made for formal winter nights.
