With Zemfira, one might think that Dmitry is treading the well-worn paths of rose ouds. At least for me, there hasn't been much new to discover in this area over the past few years. And so I eventually got the feeling that, in essence, everyone will find (and perhaps should find) such a scent among their favorite brands.
Zemfira opens with a citrus-clear, radiant Ispahan rose. Innocent and kissed by the morning dew. Only upon closer inspection near the skin do the darker facets of the ouds become apparent, resonating warmly alongside the sandalwood, which adds a touch of smokiness to structure the rose.
Due to this very clear, tidy, and subtle nature, Zemfira is indeed unisex and fits just as well into the soon-to-be-felt autumn. Especially when, as it develops, the woody-smoky notes take more space and play at eye level with the rose, gently fading into a soft woodiness in the drydown.
I can recommend Zemfira to fans of rose fragrances who appreciate naturalness and, above all, a very high wearing comfort - and Dmitry's work. :)
PS: Zemfira is a Persian female name, as Dmitry told me. The fragrance is an ode. With accords from 1001 nights. :)
