Marissa Zappas - Queen Nzinga

Queen Nzinga (1583-1663) was queen of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms in present-day Angola. She was a brilliant military strategist and true queen of the people. Often fighting on the front lines in battle, she defeated the Portuguese colonists multiple times, guarding her kingdom single-handedly for decades. This shimmering amber fragrance reflects her complexity, reality, and warmth. Queen Nzinga is unique and seductive, bright and spicy, with a powdery and warm dry down.
