BORNTOSTANDOUT Zest Z&T is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Honorine Blanc. Zest Z&T opens with Gin, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Pepper, Coriander, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Patchouli, and Elemi. BORNTOSTANDOUT's Zest Z&T carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper bloke's scent, a bit of a throwback. It’s got a divisive 'classic aftershave' vibe - some will love its clean, masculine energy, others will find it a bit too dated or stereotypical. Definitely leans more 'manly man' than unisex.

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

Opens with a sharp, bracing shot of gin and juniper, brightened by lemon verbena and a spicy kick from pink pepper and cardamom. As it settles, a peppery, aromatic heart of coriander and clary sage emerges, giving it a green, herbal edge. The base grounds it with earthy patchouli and dry Virginia cedarwood, creating a robust, clean finish that lingers with a woody, slightly resinous warmth.
