Zelda En Voyage
by En Voyage Perfumes
Zelda En Voyage is a rich, layered oriental perfume that captures the essence of Zelda Fitzgerald—bold, glamorous, and enigmatic. It opens with a sharp burst of bergamot and galbanum, followed by a lush magnolia heart that mingles with subtle hints of vanilla, balsam, and a soft honeyed sweetness. The base builds into a warm, creamy embrace of sandalwood, vetiver, amber, and musk, creating a deeply sensual and slightly soapy-sweet aura. Some wearers describe it as akin to bourbon ball batter or a vintage gourmand, while others note its dusty, resinous depth, likening it to a sophisticated skin scent. The scent evolves dramatically over time, beginning bold and floral, then deepening into a smoky, slightly earthy, and more masculine tone. Sillage is strong and longevity is excellent, making it a standout for evening wear, especially during autumn and winter. While some find it more masculine or boozy, many agree it's unapologetically seductive and unforgettable.
Pros
- +Complex and evolving scent that holds attention from first wear to dry down
- +Exceptional longevity and sillage make it ideal for evening or special occasions
- +A rich, sensual blend of magnolia, vanilla, amber, and woody notes creates a memorable, elegant profile
Cons
- −Strong balsamic and spicy elements may overwhelm those sensitive to ambers or sweet resins
- −The boozy or gourmand character may not suit those preferring dry or fresh scents
- −Its bold, unisex nature leans against traditional feminine perfumes, though it's still considered feminine by most
