Tzar is a fresh, woody-floral fragrance with a spicy aromatic opening that evolves into a creamy, musky drydown. The top notes of grapefruit, nutmeg, and pepper create an initial bright spark, though the sharper elements fade quickly into a softer, smoother profile. The middle notes of lily-of-the-valley and magnolia give it a clean, slightly waxy floral quality—some describe it as reminiscent of high-quality laundry detergent or Reflection Man—but others find the magnolia overwhelming or even unpleasant. The base of cedar, sandalwood, vetiver, and musk provides a long-lasting, dry, and subtly earthy foundation with a faint smokiness. Despite mixed reactions to the magnolia and initial powdery notes, the fragrance is widely praised for its exceptional longevity and restrained sillage, making it suitable for a wide range of occasions and seasons.
