What does Zora / Zora XQ smell like?
Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong, though the votes are few and point the same way. Its dense, woody build suits those who like heavy, long-lasting scents. It reads as neither strictly masculine nor feminine.
Thai and Cambodian oud, myrrh and Nag Champa lead the scent, while the floral side comes from Crimean rose, Thai blue lotus absolute and Shamama attar. Chinese ginseng and muskrat add a spicy, animalic depth to the mix, and the bergamot lightens it slightly.
