Zen
Fragrance notes
Character
Ginger and finger lime open Zen with a bright, tart citrus that feels clean and immediate. Juniper berries add a cool, resinous edge that keeps the opening from leaning sweet. Bergamot rounds out the top with a soft, familiar citrus glow that bridges the sharper notes.
The heart turns toward incense and myrrh, which bring a dry, balsamic smoke that feels grounded rather than heavy. Galbanum adds a green, slightly bitter sap tone that cuts through the resin. Cloves contribute a warm, aromatic spice that sits close to the skin, while bran introduces a toasted, grain-like dryness that makes the composition feel textured.
Cedar and Virginia cedar form a firm woody backbone in the base, supported by creamy sandalwood and a powdery iris presence. Ambroxan adds a modern, musky amber glow that lifts the woods and helps the scent feel cohesive. The smoke from the heart lingers here, now wrapped in wood and powder.
Composed by Geraldine Ignesta, this fragrance suits cooler days when the air feels crisp and the light stays low. The citrus gives way to resin and wood in a steady, linear progression that stays close to its core materials
