By the editors · 2 min readMemoire Intense is one of the fuller compositions in Zara's catalog — eight notes arranged in deliberate tiers. The opening is citrus, bitter and mandarin both, drying to a warm floral heart where rose and jasmine share space without competing. From there the base takes over: cashmere wood, cedar, sandalwood, and patchouli together, a soft-resinous cushion that extends the wear considerably. The progression is orderly, the character quietly luxurious for its price point. This wears like a reduced version of something more expensive — the kind of fragrance Zara occasionally produces when ambition aligns with restraint.
