Zohar’s soulful profile is best known when given time to reveal its layers of depth. Initially sweet and sultry with a fruity musky undertone, the distinct, intoxicating aroma of frangipani soon comes into play. Vanilla bean complements this with a similar rich warmth, while a note of white thyme lifts with a herbaceous, spicy green tinge. The presence of Valerian root in this profile speaks to the perfumer’s expertise - its aged, darker, balsamic base settles this scent into one that feels wild yet rooted. Zohar transports the senses to a humid day outdoors where time slows and the mind is a vessel for memories recalled in the same moment they occur. A sense of freedom and intrigue. Mysterious and like the warmth of sun-baked cedarwood, Zohar is alluring - strong to its core and layered with tones that are soft to the touch.
This fragrance was inspired by David’s time in Tulum, Mexico - a chapter that was significant in finding freedom and exploring deeper expression. A Hebrew word translating to ‘splendor’ or ‘radiance’, Zohar commonly refers to the keystone literature of Jewish mysticism. Its origins and contents are largely mysterious, with many discussions of deeper, hidden spiritual teachings.
The rich layers
Of a still-life scene:
Ripe fruit in the heat of summer;
A frangipani spun between the fingertips
Of an awe-struck observer;
A mind intoxicated
By the thought of dreams
Yet to be lived.
/
The breath of depth
Against velvet skin.
The intimacy of wakefulness
At midnight.
A moment forever caught
In the warm grasp
Of memory.
/
A vision,
Unfolding,
Unfurling,
Opening.
What do you see?
Where does it take you?
