Zorba

Keywords: sea, solar, summer, freedom

Inspired by the book “The Life And Times Of Alexis Zorba” by Nikos Kazantzakis. It is the tale of a young Greek intellectual who ventures to escape his bookish life with the aid of the boisterous and mysterious Alexis Zorba.
Infused with solar energy, the temperament, and radiance of this olfactory signature connect to the insatiable thirst for adventure.
ZORBA begins with a fresh sea air accord, ozonic and expansive. A set of herbs led by sage and a scrubby wood accord are the things growing out of the rocks on the shoreline. The note of sweat of the dancing Zorba comes through the castoreum. Fresh floral notes of cyclamen and green iris add complexity to the carpet of dry bitter moss.
