Zaharoff 2nd Soul is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Vincent Kuczinski. 2nd Soul opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, Nutmeg, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Lily of the Valley, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Suede, Smoke, Cedar, and Vetiver. Zaharoff's 2nd Soul carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A modern take on a classic barbershop vibe that's fresh, boozy, and spicy with serious performance. It's divisive for some who find it too traditional, but for others, it's a 'masterpiece' that feels both vintage and contemporary.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and strong sillage make it a powerhouse, better suited for evenings and special occasions where it can truly shine. While versatile enough for some daytime wear, its rich, boozy and smoky depth leans towards more intimate or formal settings rather than a casual office or gym.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Zaharoff's 2nd Soul bursts open with a vibrant, spicy hit of juniper and cardamom, warmed by a boozy rum note and brightened by bergamot. It evolves into a complex heart where tobacco and myrrh add a sophisticated depth, interwoven with subtle florals. The journey culminates in a rich, enveloping dry-down of smoky suede, earthy patchouli, and robust cedar, leaving a lasting, distinguished trail.
