Scent Profile

Composition

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

Les Zazous opens with an invigorating, almost bracing lavender, quickly softened by a subtle, dusty rose. This floral heart is expertly woven into a rich, balmy base where warm amber and resins shine, offering a honeyed, almost pipe tobacco-like warmth. Green notes and earthy vetiver provide a grounding balance, preventing it from becoming overly sweet, while creamy sandalwood rounds out this contemplative and complex scent.
