What does Zen Secret Bloom smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters read it as feminine and pick fall and winter over spring and summer. It stands out for evenings and nights out, yet daytime and office wear are not out of reach.

Jasmine and freesia set a fresh floral frame. Patchouli and frankincense add a woody, slightly smoky depth, while vanilla sweetens everything and pulls it towards a powdery softness. Spicy and oriental touches stay in the background.
