A rugby match
I happen to like quite a few of Ormonde Jayne's scents and find them rather elegant. Zizan is the most uncompromising, stereotypically 'masculine' scent of the whole lineup so far. The top notes include a combination of citrus, juniper and clary sage that are pleasant but undistinguished. What I don't like is how it develops later: sort of a rough rugby match of notes, with pepper and cedar dominating. I've been waiting in vain for the promised vetiver to appear in force; it is lurking around here, but is being constantly pushed back by these two guys. I can see how some people might like this scent, but Zizan's play is just too harsh and chaotic for me.
