Zuma, 1975 Eau de Parfum

“They say olfactory memories are some of the strongest, and Zuma 1975 to me is a brilliant example of a fragrance’s ability to transport you right back to a specific time and place. With notes of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Ambrette Musk, Zuma is a favorite of mine for warmer months and reminds me of time spent hiking in the Malibu hills, taking in the sweeping views of the Pacific.”

“Sexy is a funny word because it’s a completely subjective classification. For scents, it often means cloying vanilla, heavy musk, or “hints of” leather. This is not that. This is an afternoon buzz, on a picnic in Grass Valley, miles away from the internet.”

“It smells like jasmine sambac, bergamot, and vetiver with a touch of beach waves. Such an intoxicating scent from an indie perfumer in Los Angeles.”
