Zenne
Zenne by Nishane is a feminine-leaning extrait de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with grapefruit, blackcurrant and rhubarb, moves into rose, gardenia and sandalwood and dries down to vanilla, ambergris and musk. Expect around 10 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
- Rhubarb Tart, pink and green at once. Sour fruit with a stalky edge.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Ambergris Salty, animal, sun-warmed skin. Marine and musky at once.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
