Zazen

Zazen from Robert Piguet, released in 2023, is a soft gourmand floral with rice, apple and saffron. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand and floral, and about half also notice spice, musk, amber and citrus.

Mandarin orange and apple open it with a bright, juicy, crisp freshness, while green notes and a green accord add a leafy, calm coolness. Saffron brings a warm, leathery, gently honeyed spice. The heart is soft and floral, with orange blossom giving a honeyed sweetness and violet a powdery, delicate tone. Rice adds a starchy, milky, comforting softness that gives the scent its serene, almost meditative character. The base is warm and clean, with tonka bean, amber and musk giving a smooth, gently sweet finish.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who want a calm, comforting fragrance with quiet sweetness. The name refers to seated meditation, and the profile fits: daytime, relaxed weekends, the office and moments of calm, particularly in spring and autumn. Those who enjoy soft rice and musk scents should find it soothing.
