A Triad of Vanilla, Tonka, and Musk
Top Notes: Black Currant, Ylang-Ylang, Bergamot
Heart Notes: Orris Root, Jasmine, Lime (Linden) Blossom, Marigold, Cyclamen, Lily of the Valley, Rose
Base Notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood, Incense, Virginia Cedar
Upon first spray I detect brief notes of fresh black currant and bergamot but no ylang-ylang. The floral heart notes are very well blended. It is difficult to pick out the flowers save perhaps for lime blossom and marigold. The floral bouquet is pleasant enough.
On my skin, Zut primarily dries down to a sweet, warm vanilla with a dash of toasty tonka bean and a healthy dollop of clean musk. I do not detect any incense, sandalwood, or cedar, unfortunately since incense and sandalwood are two favourite notes, and cedar is often a wonderful note, too.
Overall, I think Zut is best suited to the cool, crisp days of Autumn and the clean, brisk, cold days of Winter. It would do well for very chilly Spring days and nights, too. I cannot imagine it would be as welcomed on warm Spring days and nights much less on hot and humid Summer days and nights.
Zut is a like for me, but I imagine hardcore vanilla addicts might love it. It would be an easy reach during the right months of the year. I find nothing offensive about it. It could work in an office setting with a light hand at the right time of year, and it would also work well for leisure time. I do not find it particularly sexy or romantic, though. I have yet to discover what the name "Zut" means, and I am unsure Zut is still in production, but if you can find it, I would say it should be comparable to prices of contemporary Avon fragrances which general style it reminds me. I also find it reminiscent of B&BW's fruity-floral fragrances. It has Twilight Woods's warmth. Ultimately, Zut is primarily a triad of vanilla, tonka, and clean musk.
Longevity is very good at 8+ hours on my skin. Projection is within an arm's length for the first hour or so, and then it becomes more intimate, although a rise in temperature makes the base notes bloom again. I am unable to compare it to the 1949 original, but I expect this re-release and the original are reasonably close to one another. Zut is not full bottle worthy to me, but I will enjoy my sample vials. I think the presentation is quite charming.
Fragrance: 5/10
Projection: 5/10
