Description
The story behind this fragrance
Zen Original opens with bright hyacinth and bergamot, their green bite softened by honeyed orange blossom and galbanum's herbal whisper. The heart blooms into a dense floral garden—carnation's spice threading through violet's powder, jasmine and rose anchored by orris root's earthy iris undertone, mimosa adding a creamy sweetness. As the composition settles, oakmoss rises with a cool, slightly woody shadow, while amber and musk warm the skin beneath. Cedar and sandalwood emerge in the final hours, dry and grounded, the florals fading to leave only resinous wood and soft amber at the pulse points.
