Character and History of the Fragrance
Zlaza Parallel Souls is a unisex extrait de parfum released in 2024 by the Albanian brand Zlaza.
The fragrance is part of the White Collection, blending floral expressiveness with oriental depth.
With this composition, the brand explores the idea of opposites attracting: fresh fruity and citrus nuances gradually give way to a warm, resinous, sensual accord.
Parallel Souls is ideal for those looking for more than just a pleasant everyday perfume, but a distinctive fragrance with character and an impressive drydown.
Notes and Development
The top notes open with juicy green pear and bright lemon.
The opening is luminous, cool and slightly sparkling, while the fruity softness makes the citrus accord rounder and more contemporary.
Rose emerges at the heart, adding floral texture and elegance to the composition.
Its presence does not make the fragrance overly romantic: against the ambery-balsamic base, the rosy accord feels composed, expressive and subtly mysterious.
Sillage and Wearability
The base of Parallel Souls is built around amber, myrrh and musk, leaving a very strong, warm and memorable trail.
This extrait is rich and calls for careful application, especially indoors and in warm weather.
The composition reveals itself best during the cooler season, in the evening, and at gatherings or events where a distinctive fragrance presence is appropriate.
At the same time, its unisex positioning makes it equally appealing to women and men: on some skin, honeyed resinous nuances will stand out more, while on other skin, the freshness of pear and lemon and the clean softness of musk will prevail.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing are provided in the database.
A practical way to get acquainted with the fragrance is to start with one spray on the skin and observe how the sillage and intensity change over several hours.
The Perfumer and the Brand's Style
The composition was created by Bérengère Bourgarel, a perfumer whose work here is built on the contrast between a fresh opening and a rich oriental finish.
This progression makes Parallel Souls multifaceted: the fragrance does not reveal its entire character at once, but gradually intensifies its sense of depth.
For Zlaza, this release demonstrates an ambitious approach to contemporary oriental-floral perfumery.
Parallel Souls is memorable for its combination of juicy transparency at the opening, a rosy heart and a dense ambery-musky base, making it easy to imagine as the signature accent of the entire collection.
