Davidoff
Zino EDT
1986
“A lit cigar and a glass of cognac in 1986.”

The take
What works
- ●Pierre Bourdon-pedigreed aromatic fougère with tobacco-patchouli depth
- ●Underrated late-80s masculine statement at a budget price
- ●Creamy-smoky character that's genuinely refined
Trade-offs
- ●Very dated by modern standards — reads grown-up in a 1988 way
- ●Tobacco-oakmoss combo polarizes anyone under 35
