The Siren

Zaharoff · 2021

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Zaharoff The Siren is a unisex scent where cardamom, almond and chocolate build a sweet, spicy gourmand character; it has been discontinued. It opens with cardamom, almond, coriander and ginger, spicy with a hint of nuttiness. Chocolate and coffee bring the sweetness forward in the heart, while leather and moss temper it with an earthy, leathery edge. Bourbon vetiver, patchouli and cognac form a woody base underneath. Voters rate both longevity and sillage as strong, though the number of votes is small. The sweet, gourmand build suits evenings and cooler weather. It sits comfortably on both men and women.

Soul Elixir

9.4

Zaharoff · 2026

Fresh · Citrus · Spicy

Zaharoff Soul Elixir is a unisex fragrance that joins a fresh, spicy opening of gin, bergamot and cardamom to a woody, resinous base of vetiver, myrrh and vanilla; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There is not enough voting to tie it to a particular season or occasion. The opening is citrusy and bright, with gin, bergamot, cardamom and mandarin orange, while juniper berry and rum add a slight edge. In the heart, jasmine, tobacco and cypress bring a powdery feel. The base settles into woody, creamy and smoky territory built on vetiver, myrrh, vanilla and cedarwood.

Pleasure over Business

8.6

Zaharoff · 2026

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Zaharoff Pleasure over Business is a unisex fragrance that moves from a fresh opening of Sichuan pepper, coriander and bergamot to a warm base of gaiac wood, patchouli and tonka bean; it has been discontinued. The opening is sharp and spicy, with Sichuan pepper and coriander lifted by bergamot. In the heart, ginger, lily of the valley and Florentine iris add a soft, powdery floral touch, while cashmere wood grounds it in dry wood. Patchouli, amber and musk in the base sweeten it into a creamy warmth. Longevity and sillage are rated good, and most voters find the staying power high, though the number of votes is small. Fresh yet sweet, it has a profile close to Zaharoff Business over Pleasure and Ulrich Lang Lethe.

Sun-Kissed Island

8.5

Zaharoff · 2025

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Zaharoff Sun-Kissed Island is a unisex fragrance with a fresh, citrusy core softened by floral, aquatic and creamy tones, built for the feel of a warm island day. Its sillage is rated strong, and most voters describe a scent that carries easily around the wearer. The number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. As a unisex scent it sits comfortably on any skin. It opens with ginger, cardamom, mint and lime for a spicy freshness, while red kelp adds an aquatic edge. The heart brings ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac and Grasse rose, with tequila giving that stage a gourmand touch. In the base, coconut milk, blond woods, musk and amber settle it into a creamy, lightly sweet finish.

Basileus The Oracle

9.0

Zaharoff · 2026

Fresh · Sweet · Spicy

Zaharoff Basileus The Oracle is a unisex fragrance that opens on pink pepper, lemon and bergamot, then settles into a woody, resinous heart of incense and spice. The pink pepper, lemon and bergamot give a bright, fresh start. In the heart, Ethiopian frankincense, incense, cinnamon and nutmeg carry the spicy, smoky side. The base rests on patchouli, tonka bean, benzoin and ambergris, leaving it sweet, creamy and earthy. Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as very strong, though the number of votes is small, so the picture may still shift. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine. A light hand is enough with a composition this dense. Amouage Reception and Creed Royal Oud have a close profile.

Signature Seraphim Musk

8.5

Zaharoff · 2025

Fresh · Spicy · Woody

Zaharoff Signature Seraphim Musk is a spicy, woody unisex fragrance that opens on pink pepper, bergamot and cardamom and settles into black musk, vanilla and leather. It starts fresh but peppery, with Kenyan pink pepper, Italian bergamot and Guatemala cardamom. The heart turns earthy and lightly floral through Moroccan cistus leaf, pink freesia and nagarmotha. In the base, vanilla, black musk, leather and ebony take over, and the scent becomes resinous, smoky and leathery. Oriental and animal touches deepen the woody backdrop without sweetening it. Its profile is close to Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur Oud Wood and LM Parfums Hard Leather.

Signature Seraphim Khus

8.4

Zaharoff · 2025

Spicy · Woody · Oriental

Zaharoff Signature Seraphim Khus is a dark unisex scent with a spicy, woody and earthy character, backed by smoky and resinous tones. It opens with Himalayan Sichuan pepper, Italian bergamot, Guatemala cardamom and nutmeg, the bergamot lightening the spice a little. The heart brings magnolia, Florentine iris and black truffle, adding a powdery, earthy depth. The base is led by sandalwood, musk, vanilla and Madagascan vetiver; vanilla and musk give a creamy, oriental softness while the woody, leathery and smoky side stays present. Overall it reads dry and warm rather than sweet. Areej Le Doré Manly and Les Ecuadors Patchouli Ancien have a close profile.

7.6

Zaharoff · 2022

Masculine

Zaharoff Signature Royale XXX is a masculine fragrance for men that moves from an aromatic, spiced start into a deep, woody and balsamic base; it has been discontinued.
