Zizan

by Geza Schoen

Ormonde Jayne Zizan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by Geza Schoen. Zizan opens with Juniper, Clary Sage, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Violet, Bay Leaf, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Musk, Cedar, and Amber. Ormonde Jayne's Zizan carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Zizan is a divisive one. Some find it a modern, clean, masculine take on classic citrus vetiver that's sure to garner compliments. Others dismiss it as a forgettable mishmash that's too heavy on the vetiver and Iso E Super, lacking originality.

About

Zizan opens with a bright, zesty burst of lime and bergamot, sharply accented by an almost gin-like juniper and a kick of pink pepper. The heart introduces a surprising violet and herbal bay leaf, adding a touch of understated complexity. The drydown settles into a strong, earthy vetiver base, softened by a clean cedar and a whisper of amber and musk, offering a refined woody aromatic profile with a distinct green edge.
