MaxMara Le Parfum Zeste & Musc is a fresh women's fragrance that sets the brightness of mandarin orange and bergamot against a soft base of musk and cedarwood; it has been discontinued.
Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters place it mostly in daily wear, followed by business and leisure.
It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot, an ice accord and magnolia, giving a cool citrus freshness. In the heart, white pepper, nutmeg, freesia and datura bring spice into the florals, and it settles into cedarwood, linden tree wood and musk, woody, lightly powdery and a little sweet.
