Launched in 2008 by Ormonde Jayne and crafted by Geza Schoen, Zizan is a complex Citrus Aromatic fragrance that balances freshness with warmth. The composition opens with the bright zest of lime and bergamot, punctuated by pink pepper and Amalfi lemon for an invigorating start. As it evolves, juniper and clary sage bring in fresh spicy notes, while bay leaf adds a subtle herbal edge. In the heart, jasmine and violet soften the spiciness with floral sweetness, leading into a woody base of vetiver and cedar that grounds the fragrance with earthy depth. The final touch of amber and musk rounds out the scent with a powdery warmth.

Application Tips
For best effect, apply Zizan to pulse points. The bright top notes are fleeting but impactful, so it’s important that the heart and base notes have time to develop. Allow at least five minutes for the scent to integrate with your skin before heading out.
