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
This is the scent of someone moving through the city with quiet intent, carrying warmth without heaviness. Its savory fig and saffron accord feels close and textured, suited to intimate spaces where the air can catch its resinous, woody trail.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its saffron, fig and woods can unfold without feeling dense. Apply sparingly at first; as an extrait, it will sit close and rich on skin, then bloom into a soft, creamy aura with good persistence.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like modern orientals with a dry, savory edge rather than syrupy sweetness. It will appeal to those drawn to fig, saffron, resin and sandalwood, and to fragrances that feel polished, textured and slightly old-school in spirit.

The nose
Gaël Montero is a contemporary perfumer known for composing with clear contrasts and polished textures, often giving modern structure to warm, sensual materials. In Zagal, his hand is visible in the tension between saffron’s dry spice and fig’s vegetal sweetness, cushioned by resin, woods and vanilla.
Otzlab’s story
OTZ LAB is a Madrid-based olfactory project from OTEYZA that treats perfume as a creative laboratory rather than a conventional line. Its identity rests on duality, technical precision and sculptural presentation, translating the house’s disciplined fashion sensibility into scent.
Zagal’s concept
Zagal is named after the Spanish word for a shepherd’s apprentice, a figure associated with innocence and discovery. The fragrance is built as a dialogue between saffron and fig, with the brand framing those ingredients as opposing forces that resolve into a luminous, contemporary oriental.
Extra info
Zagal means a shepherd’s apprentice in Spanish, which gives the fragrance its theme of discovery and innocence. It is part of OTZ LAB’s debut perfume project and is presented as an extrait de parfum.
