Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Zeal opens with an energetic burst of citrus, dominated by zesty bergamot, sharp lemon, and bright orange. This lively start quickly introduces a green, aromatic heart where a prominent pine note is balanced by the clean, slightly camphorous scent of lavender and the rosy nuance of geranium. As it settles, a grounding base of earthy patchouli and dry vetiver emerges, providing a masculine anchor and extending the fresh, woody character of the fragrance.
