Zenobia Tomavicci for women and men

Am I the only one who gets the cheap vibe out of this perfume? :( I wanted to like it so badly, but I don't get luxury and sophisticated at all. Sorry to all those who loved it, to me it's just a big no.

This is a really special perfume. Based on a bunch of YouTube ratings, perfume group comments on Facebook and some of the comments here, I decided to order the travel size. When it arrived, I sprayed it on a piece of paper and I thought OK it’s nice but smells like a lot of other things. But then I wore it. Nop, it’s not generic or designer smelling at all!! It’s magical. Before my first wear was through, I ordered the full bottle. There was a waitlist and it still hasn’t arrived. But my travel size is keeping me going. This has become one of my top three fragrances of all time already. It’s so beautiful, sweet (in the best way - not exactly a gourmand - still smells like a perfume) feminine, and intoxicating. One of the sexiest feminine scents ever, IMO. It’s worth the price. I’ve paid way more for scents I really liked but this is a freaking LOVE!

How much are you guys getting this for? And where? I got smelt this at a store and I’m in love.

One of the Greatest fragrances released in 2023. The bottle and juice exude PURE LUXURY. I believe this is Tomavicci's best release yet! Makes me very excited for future releases! It is so promising. Very juicy opening of black currant mixed with orange in the smoothest way like silk. It is GORGEOUS! A few minutes later.. the florals brightly shine through. It leaves a powdery trail that gets noticed but isn't intrusive. One of my absolute FAVORITE fragrances. Just gorgeous.

April, with
which fragrance will be the best to start this month and to recommend to my friends who are born under signs of Aries ♈️ Immediately come to my mind Tomavicci's golden child gorgeous ZENOBIA, she is just right for April and Aries ♈️: striking beautiful, in captivating golden dress, like a queen!
She is powerful and elegant but also mysterious. She got all your attention at first with her fruity/ sweet luscious deliciousness, then with stunning
gourmandish rose lovely Orchid and Jasmin in vanillic cloud.
And then her mysterious side of character reveals to you how spicy alluring she can be, playful with darker colors of leathery accord and sensual waves of ambery woody oud that gives composition complexity and luxurious trail

After getting a sample of Tomavicci's Ange Noir XXl, wich I enjoy, I wanted to test more. It's likely I was also a little influenced or made curious by reviews.
Anyway; my samples Zenobia and Demigod arrived. I tried Zenobia first and it's very, very agreeable. It doesn't push or intrude, it just whispers: "Let it happen."

I still need to field test it but to my nose, on my skin... this is smooth and well balanced. One could imagine how this would taste.
First verdict: Effortlessly pleasing.

ZENOBIA is the beautiful and new creation of Tomavicci. A perfume that pays tribute to the powerful warrior queen Zenobia. Its fragrance is an invitation to discover the beauty, elegance and mystery of an unforgettable woman.

👑ZENOBIA, begins his score in a fresh and seductive way, combining the fruity intensity of black currant with menthol and green nuances, intertwined with green citrus and florals. The intoxicating smell of jasmine that emerges from the orange blossom brings sweetness to the opening, unfolding towards a bouquet of opulent orchids and sweet jasmine intertwined with a delicate and seductive rose covered by a veil of spices. Exotic vanilla sweetens and wraps up the fragrance, gradually immersing you in a comforting and warm atmosphere.

As time passes, the perfume evolves and merges into an oriental, enveloping and sensual accord (leather-accord and saffron with spicy touches). This accord is perceived very softly, all beautifully harmonized in a perfect symphony, intertwined with noble woods. Moroccan cedar provides a sweet, woody and balsamic nuance. The oud accord reveals itself to be warm, honeyed, resinous, slightly smoky with a light animal touch. However, these are not protagonists, they are only there in a subtle way, imparting richness, elegance, depth and mystery to the composition.

Substantivity on my skin lasts more than 10 hours. The diffusion is moderate, creating a unique atmosphere around me and leaving a delicate and memorable trail along the way, reflecting my personality and style.

👑Zenobia is a combination of luxury and mysticism, which invites you to explore a world of history, culture and passion. Enveloping you in an aura of sensuality, reminding you of the warmth and magic of the Middle East.

This beauty will definitely be among my favorites!

Sincere note: As always, my commitment to honesty remains unwavering and this review of ZENOBIA is authentic and unbiased.

Something about this gives me montale vibes... reminds me of Infinity but not as strong/beast mode. By no means it is a dupe.

Edit:
So I liked the scent when I first received it, but it was not a love. I had other fragrances that I enjoyed more, so I put it away and forgot about it. I've recently started wearing it again and it's a love. Not sure if it's my nose or the fragrance that's changed but it's so beautiful and long lasting.

I am so glad I paid attention to the recommendations from several influencers. This is indeed lovely. It is long lasting but not overpowering. I do not find anything challenging in this fragrance. It is 40% warm, 20% fresh and 40% delicious. I find this classy and slightly sexy

My fragrance arrived today and I must say I am not a fan of the opening lemon blackberries but give it a few mins and once this dries down the lemon and blackberries tone down and blend with the perfume it smells smooth and sofisticated. My husband think it’s something that u wear when your going out to event and parties but to me I’ll wear this anytime lol definitely good for cooler weather winter, spring , fall, not sure about the summer heat but suitable for summer nights,

This is my first fragrantica review.
I am utterly blown away by this perfume… gourmand done to perfection 😍
A gourmand that is unisex, not sickly sweet, not linear.. it’s blended to perfection, none of the notes stick out on there own here.
It’s a gourmand fragrance as the vanilla is very prominent and creamy. The orange blossom and blackcurrant stops the cloying nature that many sweet perfumes can have.

Then the amazing finale… the icing on top of the vanilla cake.. notes of a subtle clean leather, a creamy amber and woods that give the perfume an edge but in a rounding way, pulling the fragrance together and unifying it.
Everything you could want in a quality perfume.. you will small AMAZING!!!! 🤩

I became aware of the fragrance Zenobia through a perfume influencer and it was a pure blind purchase, which I have not regretted for a second to this day and I will buy this fragrance again and again and have already recommended it several times. Strangers talk to me about this great fragrance, it is new, unique, beguiling, seductive, long-lasting, everything a woman (and a man) wants. Truly the queen of my perfume collection. The top notes are a wonderful orange blossom and blackcurrant, the heart notes include vanilla, jasmine, Turkish rose and orchid and the base notes consist of amber, oud, leather, Atlas cedar and saffron.
A fragrance for every woman, at any time of year.
An absolute recommendation to buy. The shipping to Germany was super fast, first class and safely packed and the customer service is unique, they answered all my questions.
Normally I don't write reviews or only short ones but this fragrance and the whole Tomavicci company deserves a lot of praise. I also ordered Demigod XXI and Empyrean as samples. Also an absolute recommendation to buy, even as a blind purchase.

Wow. Wow. Wow. WOWWWW this stuff is just wow. The opening is very juicy with black currant and sweet with its orange blossom. Then it starts to settle. You smell the florals come alive nothing overwhelming the rose is very present but not at all offensive there is a vanilla here that really grounds everything along with the leather note. Sillage is def there and performance is very good. Just spectacular. 10/10 recommend this fragrance. Anything less then a full bottle your an idiot.

If Xerjoff's La Capitale and Tiziana Terenzi's Cassiopeia had a baby, it would be named Zenobia. It works out for me because I don't get on well with La Capitale.

Zenobia is a beautiful floral, fruity fragrance that wears amazingly well in colder temps. 4 sprays was more than enough to last from early morning to well in the evening. I even got whiffs of a prominent strawberry note while outside. You can wear Zenobia all year-long with no problem. Although a leather note is listed, I do consider this a feminine fragrance as it wears and smells, well just, pretty. A good release from the house.

@butterbean Please don't invalidate the customer service experiences of others when you don't know the facts. This was the second release from this house as the first batch sold out a couple a months ago. Misinformation is a terrible thing nowadays. SMH.

ETA: @ Butterbean 👇 And who are you to guard gate for this company? People share their customer service experiences on here regularly. Me sharing my sentiments should not have triggered you in the least. Hey, If it doesn't apply, then let it fly. (at least that's what I do).

Just got this today -- REALLY good scent.

I get a thick, sweet, complex, a bit of warmth, has depth, some leather, a sweet fruity black currant at the top, and a bit of rose in the heart. WOW. Lasts a long time, and projects. This is sensual, sophisticated scent, with some sweetness. I love the fruity opening (which is yummy).

*a blind purchase, based off of some reviews after the 2023 Dubai fragrance convention -- total WIN.





*Ignore post below about shipping. The scent was a pre order an not shipped until 11/27. With holiday mail slowed way down things are taking around 4 + more business days to move. I have nothing to do with this brand. just saying.
*member above - there is no invalidation. I responded to what you wrote, so that people reading won't get misinformation about the brand's shipping. I am well aware it was the second release. there is no misinformation. the brand clearly posted this was to be sent out 11/27 and shipping around the world is taking later due to holidays. those are FACTS. grow up.

This smells like Bond #9 Nomad with less oud. Sweet,fruity and tart floral gourmand which I truly enjoy, it’s very rose and black currant heavy. Take the rose from Delina and mix it with the black currant from Nomad maybe even Armani Si it will smell very similar.

This is such a beautiful strong full bodied fragrance which can be worn for special occasions in the fall or winter months. I am glad I was able to find it.

Anybody know of any dupes? I don’t feel like paying $228 USD :)

*update* I love this fragrance! If you like la capitale by xerjoff, you will love this. It’s not a dupe, they’re not the same, but related. Fruitiness upfront with saffron, Amber, leather in the base. La capitale is blended nicely, the Zenobia projection is beast mode

First sniff was very familiar and I was almost disappointed. The opening has similarities to Haramain Amber Oud and maybe a tiny hint of Kirke, but this is much softer and less pungent. In my opinion, of the 3 mentioned, Zenobia is the softest and most wearable during the day and even in a business setting.

After about 30 minutes I can still smell the fruitiness of the black currant. After about 2 hours, on my skin, I get vanilla, rose, saffron, and sadly not enough leather. I had a tiny bit of leather upfront. On clothes the initial impression stays intact, that’s my favorite part.


I’ll be back for an update after I wear it out. I’m definitely going to add a few drops of the Nest Madagascar Vanilla oil on my pulse points fresh out of the shower and take It from there.
