"Zen Gold Elixir is a feminine floral-oriental interpretation within Shiseido's Zen fragrance family. It opens with a bright, sparkling impression built around bergamot and fruit accents. The heart develops a luminous floral character involving jasmine, magnolia, rose, and freesia. A warm base of vanilla, amber, patchouli, musk, and cedar gives the composition greater depth and sensuality. Compared with the lighter character associated with the original Zen, Gold Elixir is presented as richer, warmer, and more full-bodied. Its overall personality is elegant, luxurious, softly sweet, and understated rather than overtly dramatic."
