Zirh Corduroy is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2005. Zirh's Corduroy carries a Favourite verdict, a spicy-led wear.

Divisive and often misunderstood, Corduroy is a cheap and cheerful scent that offers a surprisingly well-blended spicy-woody experience. Some call it a hidden gem, others a forgettable miss, but for the price, it's a low-risk gamble.

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

Corduroy opens with a bright, albeit fleeting, burst of grapefruit and mandarin, quickly giving way to a warm, inviting heart of nutmeg, cinnamon, and lavender. This spicy core is expertly blended, avoiding any harshness, and eventually settles into a soft, creamy drydown of sandalwood, vanilla, and tonka bean, with a hint of guaiac wood providing a gentle smoky depth. It's a cosy, subtly masculine scent that feels comforting from start to finish.
