What do reviewers say about Sun and Zen 2000?
Powder and vanilla worn close to the skin, the talcum warmth of someone who spent the afternoon in light. Not every fragrance needs to announce itself.Sun
Zen 2000 isn't trying to seduce you. It's already been places, done the work. The bamboo and pear wood base creates a quiet structure, woody, warm, close to the skin.Zen 2000
