A Fragrance of Connection: "Link" by Czar + Giveaway

The Kuwaiti label Czar presents "Link", a new Extrait de Parfum that tells of closeness, unity and shared paths. Win a bottle of the unisex fragrance in our raffle!

This fragrance is more than a creation; it is a tribute to human bonds, the invisible threads that tie us together across distance, time, and emotion.

Czar

The Concept: The Essence of Togetherness

The idea behind “Link” was to translate the feeling of togetherness into scent.
To bring this vision to life, the label collaborated with Italian perfumer Luca Maffei, resulting in a composition that tells a story of connection and encounter.

Citrus notes, aromatic herbs, floral accents, and warm woods intertwine to reflect the many dimensions of human relationships – from lightness and joy to depth and constancy.

Link - Czar
Link - Czar

“Link” opens with a fresh, spicy accord of Italian bergamot, ginger, cardamom, and Timur pepper.
In the heart, petitgrain, clary sage, jasmine, and Italian chamomile reveal an aromatic-floral character.
The base of vetiver, oakmoss, galbanum, and cedarwood adds depth and a gently earthy warmth.

LINK... a fragrance that connects you to the moment, like a successful link: clear, reliable, memorable, and working in harmony at all times. Every spray takes you to a new world of sensation and confidence.

Czar

The Perfumer: Luca Maffei

Italian-born perfumer Luca Maffei is the creative mind behind Atelier Fragranze Milano.
Raised in a family with a deep-rooted perfume tradition, he was introduced to the world of scent at an early age. His father, Marco Maffei, worked at Symrise and International Flavors & Fragrances, giving Luca the opportunity to meet perfumers such as Dominique Ropion and Michel Almairac – encounters that sparked his fascination with raw materials and composition.

After studying under Françoise Marin in Grasse and working alongside Vincent Ricord and Maurizio Cerizza, Maffei founded Atelier Fragranze Milano in 2014.

Since then, he has created more than fifty fragrances for Masque Milano, Carthusia, Perris Monte Carlo, Jul et Mad Paris, and Zoologist Perfumes. His best-known works include "Néa", "This Is Not A Blue Bottle 1.2" and "Terra Mia".

The new fragrance will be available in a 100 ml bottle.

What a beautiful concept behind Link by Czar — the idea of connection through scent is so meaningful. The opening of bergamot, ginger & Timur pepper sounds fantastic, and the heart of jasmin, sage & chamomile followed by vetiver, oakmoss and cedarwood in the base truly caught my attention. I would be overjoyed to win and experience this fragrance’s story. Thanks for the chance! 🍀

Seems like exactly my type of fragrance. Woody citrus’ are my favourite fragrance style, but combined with ‘warm’ woods makes it a 10/10 based on description alone. I’d love to try it!

There’s something magnetic about a perfume that speaks of connection. If Link translates emotion into scent, it could become one of those rare creations that feel both intimate and timeless.

Luca Maffei have an amazing laboratory here in Milan and one of the last release made for Perris Montecarlo is stunning, so maybe also with Link it could be a new and creative "phase" for the nose.
Let's check
