Zero

A minimalist, synthetic woody scent with a distinct varnish-like backbone that unfolds with a subtle green and powdery character. The opening features a bright bergamot that quickly melds into a dry, abstract floral-woody profile dominated by cashmeran, cedar, and vetiver. The hallmark 'varnish' accord—often described as a sharp, metallic, synthetic note—emerges early and lingers through the drydown, evolving into warm, velvety woods and musk. It's notably intimate, with moderate sillage and a moderate longevity that tends to fade quickly. The scent is understated, not meant to project or fill space, and performs best close to the skin, particularly during daytime wear. It shares strong DNA with Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 and 05, as well as other CDG perfumes like Wonderwood and Amazingreen, though it leans more toward a smooth, almost abstract note with a slight synthetic bitterness. Its composition is clean, modern, and highly conceptual—not intended to mimic nature, but to evoke a synthetic, body-friendly sense of space. It appeals most to those drawn to cool, minimal, modern fragrances that prioritize texture over olfactory imitation.
