Zagal is the Spanish word for a shepherd’s apprentice, a figure that embodies discovery and innocence. This namesake fragrance invites you to approach the familiar with fresh eyes. Zagal is a dialogue between saffron’s dry, subtle bitterness, and fig’s fleshy, vegetal sweetness. Rose, jasmine, sandalwood, myrrh and vanilla provide deeply cushioned upholstery, rendering Zagal as a contemporary oriental.
Perfumer: Gaël Montero
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Zagal suits an unhurried afternoon spent in close conversation: its green fig and dry saffron bring an alert, slightly savory edge, while creamy woods lend softness. The mood is relaxed but considered, with familiar warmth offset by something subtly unexpected.
How to wear
The creamy woods, myrrh and vanilla make mild or cooler weather a natural starting point. Begin with one or two sprays of the extrait on skin, allowing the fig–saffron contrast to settle before adding more. In warm weather, keep application light so the cushioned sweetness does not dominate.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy fig beyond straightforward fruitiness: green, milky and edged with dry spice. Its softened florals and warm woody-resinous foundation will appeal to tastes that favor traditional richness, but prefer sweetness balanced by vegetal and savory accents.
Release year
2026 (or 2025)

Otzlab’s story
OTZ LAB is OTEYZA’s perfume laboratory, translating the Spanish fashion house’s craft heritage and avant-garde sensibility into scent. Perfumers are given freedom to explore unexpected contrasts, while color and sculptural packaging extend each fragrance’s artistic identity.
Zagal’s concept
Named for a shepherd’s apprentice, Zagal explores discovery and the possibility of seeing familiar things afresh. It belongs to OTZ LAB’s debut collection of eight fragrances named after OTEYZA fashion collections. Its central contrast—dry saffron against green, creamy fig—gives that youthful curiosity a warm, softly textured expression.
Extra info
Zagal shares its name with OTEYZA’s Spring/Summer 2021 fashion collection. Its official product page also offers a “Hear the perfume” audio feature labeled “SOLAR.” OTZ LAB’s packaging, designed by Lavernia & Cienfuegos, pairs a steel structure with test-tube-like glass.
