The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Zaharoff, Brass & Soul is a composition that balances fresh aquatic notes with woody and spicy elements. Created by Vincent Kuczinski, this fragrance opens with water notes and mandarin orange, followed by the herbal freshness of juniper and gin. The heart features lavender and bourbon geranium, adding an unexpected depth to the aromatic profile. As it settles, Brass & Soul reveals a warm base of suede, vanilla, cedar, amber, patchouli, and moss, creating a rich blend that is both modern and lasting.
Apply one or two sprays to ensure the aquatic and citrus top notes don't overpower. The base notes bloom gradually over time, so let it settle for a few minutes before heading out. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its fresh and spicy character shines brightest.
