The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2007 by Memo Paris and crafted by perfumer Alienor Massenet, Zante is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of a Mediterranean escape. The composition opens with bright citrus notes like petitgrain, bergamot, and mandarin, which give way to a heart of neroli and rosemary, blending freshness with aromatic complexity. Lavender adds a touch of spiciness before settling into an amber-tinged base of patchouli that grounds the scent in earthy warmth.
Zante's bright citrus top notes are most impactful in the first hour. For a lasting impression, layer it over a light moisturizer or apply to pulse points for warmth. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its fresh, vibrant character can shine without overpowering.
