About

Oriental Zinc opens with a sophisticated blend of aromatic lavender and juicy fig, brightened by a whisper of bergamot. The heart unveils a comforting warmth with spicy cardamom and a hint of pink pepper. As it settles, a rich base of cinnamon, tonka bean, and cedar emerges, creating a smooth, enveloping, and slightly sweet aroma that's both elegant and deeply reassuring.
