Zhufu Nana — a modern woody-floral fragrance
Zhufu Nana is a unisex perfume from 2024, released by the Chinese brand Zhufu.
The fragrance comes in an eau de parfum concentration and is intended for anyone who enjoys expressive compositions without a strict association with either feminine or masculine scent profiles.
Perfumer Meng Gu created the formula. Nana combines the transparent freshness of citrus, soft fruity sweetness, floral powderiness, and a deep woody-musky base.
As a result, the fragrance unfolds in layers: it opens light and energetic, then gradually becomes warmer, denser, and more noticeable.
Character and olfactory profile
The fragrance belongs to the floral and woody families, while citrus, fruity, musky, and woody accents further define its character.
This is neither a simple fresh composition nor an exclusively floral perfume. Nana balances cool greenery, soft petals, and a rich trail while retaining a modern unisex character.
At the opening, bamboo creates a clean green nuance, while bergamot adds sparkling citrus freshness.
Persimmon softens the opening with delicate fruity roundness, so the first minutes feel smooth and expressive rather than sharp.
This accord will appeal to those who value freshness with an unusual twist and want to move beyond predictable citrus fragrances.
How it develops on the skin
As Nana develops, it moves into a floral heart where iris smells powdery, cool, and elegant, while rose adds softness and a vivid floral facet.
Together, they create a neat, well-groomed impression without excessive romanticism. The heart gives the fragrance more volume and helps the fresh opening transition smoothly into a warm base.
The final stage is built around patchouli, sandalwood, and musk.
Patchouli adds depth and a subtle earthy expressiveness, sandalwood provides creamy woody softness, and musk unites the accords while leaving a clean, noticeable trace on the skin.
Ultimately, Nana reveals itself as a fragrance with a confident character, where fresh, floral, and woody nuances support one another.
Sillage and wearability
Zhufu Nana is described as having very strong sillage, making it suitable for those who like their perfume to be noticeable and to create a distinctive scented space around the wearer.
This is not a fragrance for discreet application: even a small amount can be expressive, especially indoors and on warm skin.
The fragrance is appropriate for occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality: a meeting, an evening event, a walk, or a special day when perfume becomes part of your look.
Its unisex positioning makes Nana easy to wear with different styles, from a minimalist wardrobe and a business look to more relaxed everyday clothing.
How to get acquainted with the fragrance
Precise recommendations for applying Nana to skin and clothing are not available in the published information.
Given its very strong sillage, it is sensible to start with the minimum number of sprays, observe how it develops on your own skin, and add more later if necessary.
When applying the perfume to fabric, proceed carefully and first test the material's reaction on an inconspicuous area.
Information about other concentrations of Zhufu Nana and comparable fragrances is not available in the database.
Therefore, the main points of reference when choosing it are its stated characteristics: a fresh bamboo-and-bergamot opening, a fruity persimmon nuance, a powdery floral heart, a woody-musky base, and very strong sillage.
Nana will appeal to fans of modern compositions who enjoy a noticeable, polished, and gender-neutral scent profile.
