Cult Gaia - Zan

Zan Eau de Parfum awakens the spirit with notes of luminous white incense firabs, rich ambrox, and grounding sensual captive musks. Guatemalan cardamom, warm cedarwood, and ambrette firabs intertwine, adding subtle spice and an earthy soul. Spicy pink pepper cuts through the softness, electrifying the air with its intensity.

    Interesting
    This is a lot more interesting than I was expecting after reading mainly negative reviews. The cardamom is the main star here, but it’s more aromatic and citrusy to me than spicy. It has a clean fluffy aspect to it and feels like a well rounded fall fragrance. I do wish it projected more.

    Calling all pepper fans!
    Zan from Cult Gaia is one of the best perfumes I've ever worn! The notes are well balanced and for once the detailed description of the scent is spot on! I'm getting feather-light woodiness, clean incense smoke, pepper and musk in elegant proportions. The cardamom comes through distinctly, a mark above most perfumes' listed cardamom notes (which all too often convey a more general "spice" vibe). It's definitely unisex and fits my preferences as a woman. Take care, though: if you prefer flowery or sweet scents, this probably isn't up your alley. As for me, I'll be wearing Zan often. It's transporting!

    Instant love
    How does this have bad reviews?! Im sooo glad they didn’t deter me from choosing this scent. Listen. If you love musky skin scents like Studied or Sonic Flower or Glossier You, you will love this! Yes, the opening smells strongly of pepper and cardamom (which I don’t mind) but if you just give it some time, it dries does into the most beautiful scent. Longevity is good but wears close to the skin for sure.
