The Youth

The Youth, inspired by Zarkoperfume Youth (2022)

Youth begins with a fruit mix of peach, melon and apple, juicy and lively. In the heart, jasmine and rose join plum and white flowers, turning it into a fruity floral with a rounder, darker fruit note. Sandalwood, a powdery musk accord and vanilla make up the base, so the finish is sweet and powdery rather than fresh.

About the original

Zarkoperfume sells this scent as Youth, and one retailer dates its launch to 2022. The brand frames it around first love and youthful optimism, tagging it 'Nordic summer', 'Sensual' and 'White flowers'. Its note pyramid is published by the brand itself, though some retailers add pear, Bulgarian rose and dreamwood.

Our version

Ours is an independent eau de parfum made to evoke the same character. It is not Zarkoperfume stock, not an official relaunch and not the original formula.

Who it suits

Playful rather than formal, Youth will appeal to anyone who likes fruity florals with some powder in the base. Peach and vanilla give it a noticeable sweetness, which may not suit people who prefer greener fruit scents.

Is this Zarkoperfume Youth or 'The Youth'?

It is inspired by Zarkoperfume Youth. We have not found a Zarkoperfume scent called The Youth; the brand's name for it is Youth.

Is Youth sweet?

Yes, moderately. Peach, plum and vanilla give it sweetness, and the musk adds a powdery finish.

How is Youth different from The Muse?

Both are Zarkoperfume scents, but The Muse is a clean, laundry-like musk, while Youth is a fruity floral.
