What does Zeitgeist smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it is chosen mainly for leisure, daily wear and the office. Opinion is split on whether it reads masculine or feminine, and it sits somewhere in between.
Calone and algae absolute set its character, giving a cool, salty, synthetic freshness. Edenolide™, Nebulone® and leatherwood add a floral, green and woody base, while Peru balsam and Amber Xtreme™ soften that freshness with a spicy warmth.
