What does Zen Sun for Women smell like?

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a quiet profile. Most voters place it in leisure, daytime and office settings. It is positioned as a women's fragrance.

It opens with bergamot, citron, lemon and grapefruit brightness, softened by mango and peach. The heart brings blue rose, lily of the valley, lotus and gardenia into a floral core. In the base, amber and sandalwood set a woody, slightly powdery ground, with raspberry stretching the sweetness a little.
