Zizanie

Zizanie is a vintage-inspired woody-spicy fragrance centered around patchouli and sandalwood, exuding a refined, old-world elegance that feels both timeless and distinct. It opens with a sharp, almost metallic characteristic, quickly settling into a warm, powdery sophistication that channels classic masculine allure with a subtle slyness. The scent is unisex in essence but carries a retro, vintage aura often associated with mid-20th century glamour—Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, and postwar chypres are frequently evoked. While it initially appears simple, many users note a surprising depth: a subtle muskiness, earthy patchouli-rich harmony, and faint herbal green nuances that emerge in the dry down. The perfume is most often described as low-sillage with a skin-scent intensity that lingers warmly, especially on fabric or after reapplication. Its longevity is moderate to long, though it requires gesture and layering to fully unfold, suggesting careful application is key. The fragrance is best suited for evening wear, autumn and winter seasons, and occasions where subtle, contemplative sophistication matters.
