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.

With its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Zizanie is best suited for social occasions where it can make a statement without overwhelming. Its classic, comforting profile makes it great for dates and casual wear, while its richness leans well into more formal settings. The powdery aspect and strong performance make it less ideal for office or sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Zizanie opens with a powdery flourish, hinting at its vintage charm before settling into a warm embrace of creamy sandalwood. The earthy, subtly spicy depth of patchouli weaves through, grounding the composition and adding a touch of old-school gravitas. It's a comforting yet distinctive scent, with an underlying warmth that's both inviting and slightly mysterious.
