By the editors · 2 min readPineapple and grapefruit lead the opening, sticky and bright, with peach and a curl of incense giving the fruit somewhere darker to land. Bergamot trims the sweetness. The heart is shorter than the other Zen flankers — magnolia and jasmine cut with saffron, the spice doing more lifting than the florals.
The dry-down is where the gold of the name shows up: honey and vanilla over amber, white musk, cedar, and patchouli. It sits warm and resinous, more Saturday-night than Tuesday-morning. Better suited to cool air than humid heat, where the patchouli and amber can hold without going cloying.
