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

Zen opens with a burst of crisp green notes, like walking through a dewy garden at dawn. This lively, verdant freshness is swiftly joined by a delicate medley of soft, indistinct floral notes that evoke a clean, natural aroma rather than a specific bouquet. The overall impression is one of airy, understated beauty, conjuring a sense of peaceful simplicity.
