Launched in 2016 by Lalique, Oriental Zinc is crafted by perfumer Karine Dubreuil-Sereni and stands as an elegant fusion of warm spices and woody accords. The fragrance opens with a vibrant blend of lavender, fig, and bergamot before giving way to the spicy notes of pink pepper and cardamom. At its heart lies cinnamon and tonka bean, which add depth and sweetness. Indian patchouli and cedar anchor this composition with earthy warmth, creating an olfactory experience that is both complex and harmonious.

Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points and allow the fragrance to develop naturally. The spicy top notes are prominent initially but quickly give way to the richer base notes, which last well into the evening.
