The dry-down is where the flanker tilts away from the rest of the Zen line: tonka and incense over sandalwood, vetiver and patchouli grounding the structure, white musk holding it. It reads more dressed-up than the original Zen — the incense and tonka give the base a pew-and-candles quality the cleaner predecessors didn't reach for. Suited to cooler evenings; the resinous base can feel close on warm skin.
