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

Zinzibar opens with ginger, lime, tangerine and bergamot, a sharp, zesty and slightly fizzy citrus start. The heart adds pepper, cardamom and freesia, giving it a spiced, lightly floral lift. The base is dry and woody, with sandalwood and cedar. It is a bright citrus-spice scent that feels energetic and clean, and the woods stop it from becoming thin.
