Zeno vs Zen
Zeno follows Zen's grapefruit-and-pineapple opening into fresh flowers and apple. Patchouli and musk give its finish a softer earthy outline, while Zen also highlights cedar and amber. The notes suggest a possible alternative without establishing a clear difference in the fruity opening on skin.
