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 for Men Sun opens with yuzu, mint, pear and bergamot, a zesty, cool and juicy start. The heart brings violet and pepper, which adds a soft floral touch and a little dry spice. The base is cedar and amber, giving a clean woody warmth that holds the fresh top together. It is a masculine summer scent that stays light, bright and easy, and it suits warm weather and casual wear.
