What does Zazen smell like?

The top notes are apple, mandarin orange and saffron, giving a bright, fruity start. The heart brings orange blossom, green violet and rice, leaning the scent toward green and earthy. The base of amber, musk and tonka bean lays down a soft, creamy finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few people have voted so far. It is neither heavy nor sharp, suiting anyone who wants a calm scent close to everyday wear. It reads neither masculine nor feminine, sitting somewhere in between.
