The story
Named after the year Zambesi was born, 1979 is a sensory exploration of the brand’s attitude to dressing. This means curiously complex, yet highly-wearable genderless layers.
Working with Liz and the team at Zambesi is a privilege I'm so grateful for. Zambesi is one of New Zealand's most enduring and respected brands, so aligning The Virtue with that on a creative level has been such a gift.

Genderless and magnetic, Zambesi’s ‘1979’ is as complex as it is powerful.The scent exudes a darkness with a warm, earthy depth that magnificently collides with the sharp freshness of its top notes to create a fragrance that defies traditions. |

More than a fragrance, 1979 is another textural layer to the Zambesi story.It translates how we feel, how we see, how we think. I love how emotionally connected we can be to a scent: the memories it conjures, the moments it sparks, and I hope Zambesi 1979 will become part of its wearers’ story.
