By the editors · 2 min readZingara opens the way the 1980s understood feminine fragrance: grand and unabashed. Hyacinth delivers cool green crispness; mandarin orange brightens the opening; and ylang-ylang pulses beneath, adding tropical richness without going cloyingly sweet.
The heart is a full white-floral court: jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, and iris converge in a lush, powdery arrangement that is unapologetically feminine. Iris pulls everything toward a pale, anchored warmth that feels neither stiff nor overblown.
Sandalwood and white musk ease the drydown into a gentle, slightly lactonic finish — peach giving the base a quiet fruitiness. Discontinued and still mourned by loyal wearers, Zingara is a time capsule of confident Brazilian florals.
