the LOWDOWN
the BACKSTORY
the INSPIRATION

Queen Nzinga by Marissa Zappas is a fragrance of courage and sensuality — a tribute to the legendary 17th-century warrior queen of Angola, whose spirit embodied elegance and strength in equal measure.

The perfume opens with a golden splash of rum, honey, and saffron, shimmering with richness and heat. The heart unfolds into lush jasmine sambac, osmanthus, and rose, steeped in soft spice and shadow. Finally, the base reveals tobacco leaf, amber, and vanilla, evoking the earthy warmth of resilience and power.

Queen Nzinga is unapologetically bold — a modern homage to women who lead with grace, intelligence, and fire.

Perfect for: Evenings out, artistic gatherings, or whenever you want to wear confidence like a crown.
