New Fall Fragrances

Peruvian Ambrette, 4.2 fl oz, EDP, $195, by Ermenegildo Zegna Essenze, available in November at Zegna.com

Hot on the heels of Haitian Vetiver, released last summer, Ermenegildo Zegna launches a new fragrance, part of its excellent Essenze niche collection. Dedicated to ambrette, a tiny seed with nutty undertones also known as the best natural alternative to musk, Peruvian Ambrette is distinctive and intense, paired with earthy orris and sensual guaiac wood to turn it into a stand-out masculine scent.
