By the editors · 2 min readAmong Zara's richer compositions. Tangerine and bergamot open bright and citrus, fading faster than the heart allows: orange blossom, jasmine, lavender, and incense bloom together in a dense floral-aromatic middle that carries real complexity for this price point. The incense note provides a clean, slightly cool smoke that prevents the florals from becoming cloying.
The base is full — vanilla, tonka, amber, vetiver, and musk form a warm, layered foundation with genuine staying power. Vetiver keeps the sweetness honest; musk blends everything together. A proper cool-weather Oriental that performs above its category, with a drydown that stays interesting rather than collapsing into generic amber.
