Zest+Vetiver

The crisp clarity of a mid-afternoon in an urban park, where the sun filters through trees and lemon zest mingles with the scent of freshly cut grass.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2024 by Michael Malul London and crafted by perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, Zest+Vetiver is a vibrant aromatic-citrus fragrance that balances freshness with earthy depth. The composition opens with lemon zest and clary sage, creating an invigorating burst of brightness. As it settles, notes of lavender and orris root add a subtle herbal warmth, while vetiver and oakmoss ground the scent with their earthy richness. This interplay between fresh citrus and woody-musky elements makes Zest+Vetiver both energizing and grounding.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays on your pulse points — it’s designed to be close-to-skin rather than diffusing widely. The initial zesty notes will fade within a couple of hours, but the vetiver and oakmoss base will carry the fragrance through the day.
