Ermenegildo Zegna’s Indonesian Oud is a refined oud‑rose fragrance launched in 2019 as part of the Essenze Collection, praised for its polished, wearable interpretation of agarwood with excellent longevity (8–10 hours) and moderate projection. It is considered one of Zegna’s most elegant niche offerings, balancing oud’s depth with rose, amber, and patchouli in a sophisticated structure.
