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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh, clean profile, make it suitable for casual wear and daily office use where it won't overpower. The more 'generic' perception by some also makes it a safe, unchallenging choice for crowded daytime settings.

About

Zinnia opens with a distinctive, almost herbal citrus blast, hinting at anise or tarragon, alongside a green bitterness that some pick up as coriander seed. This sharp, fresh beginning quickly blends into watery, almost cyclamen-like florals, perhaps a touch of rose or geranium. The base settles into a classic, retro chypre profile, grounding the initial brightness with a sophisticated, slightly animalic warmth.
