Inspired version of Zen by Shiseido (Quality A)

A citrus and freesia opening over a broad floral heart, resolving into patchouli, incense and cedar. Calm and balanced, with an unexpectedly woody finish.

Fragrance notes

• Accords: Citrus, Floral, Patchouli, Fresh Spicy, Woody
• Top notes: Orange, Pineapple, Rose, Grapefruit, Bergamot
• Middle notes: Freesia, Gardenia, Violet, Hyacinth, Lotus, Red Apple, Orris, Lily-of-the-Valley
• Base notes: Patchouli, Incense, Amber, Musk, Pine, Cedar

Works well in:

• Body and perfume oils — deep and long-wearing even at low dilution
• Soy and paraffin candles — clean burn; keep the load up, since the citrus top fades first in wax
• Bukhoor and incense blends — the resins and woods take heat well
• Reed diffusers — one of the stronger performers on reeds
• Cold process and melt-and-pour soap — stable, though the citrus top fades faster in soap than in wax

Supplied undiluted and alcohol-free. Quality A is our highest raw-material grade: the richest materials in the range, giving this oil the strongest projection and the longest wear of the grades we offer it in.
