Zing – Extrait de Parfum

Andrea Maack – Icelandic niche perfumery from the visual artist of the same name, who has been bringing art, fashion and fragrance together since her first scent exhibition in 2010.

Zing is zesty, mineral and full of life – the first sip of freshly pressed citrus and carrot juice on a bright morning. Italian tangerine, mandarin and a mineral accord open clear and juicy, mate, carrot and ginger meet at the heart, before patchouli, sandalwood and musk lay down a warm, clean base.

Zing works all year and above all by day – in the morning, in summer, whenever a fragrance should wake you up. Gender-neutral and an energising signature scent.

We love Zing for its carrot. Hardly any fragrance dares to use this earthy-sweet, slightly powdery note, and Céline Barel turns it into something of its own with mate and ginger – a citrus scent that does not vanish after two hours but stays, thanks to the extrait concentration and its woody base.

Everything you want to know about this fragrance.

What does Zing smell like?

Juicy and mineral: tangerine, mandarin and a mineral accord to open, mate, carrot and ginger at the heart, patchouli, sandalwood and musk in the base.

How does Zing feel?

Like sunlight in the kitchen – bright, invigorating and surprisingly soft in the drydown. Fresh without being thin, with real presence on the skin.

When do you wear Zing?

All year round, especially on bright days and in summer – a gender-neutral daytime fragrance for anyone looking for citrus with depth.

Which fragrance might I like if I like Zing?

If the pairing of citrus, mate and ginger is what you like about Zing, try Dem by Regalien Istanbul – where bergamot, mate, tea and ginger meet a soft musky base.
