Ze Bai is an interesting one, but also because I found it hard to grasp. It’s not unpleasant at all, but it’s not what I expected.

The fruits here come across very airy and watery and it took me a minute to appreciate them. Instead, what hit me directly was a white muskiness; clean, fresh and not matching the note breakdown to my nose (to the point where I double checked if I had the correct sample on my skin). The more I smelled it, the more I got a peach skin-like scent, that was very nice, but very transparent.

Within the hour they warm up and a resinous, but still very soft and subtle sweetness overtakes the fruitiness. Again, hard to grasp, I felt Ze Bai was faint and fleeting, so I may have to try this again at a later date.
