Launched in 2018 by Zara, Calm Lake is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men that combines the warm spices of pimento and cardamom with the earthy depth of cedar. The top note of pimento brings an unexpected warmth to the composition, while cardamom adds a zesty freshness in the heart. Cedar provides a grounding base, creating a sense of tranquility and strength.

Application Tips
Calm Lake's warm spices are most noticeable in the first hour; after that, it settles into a more subdued woody base. Apply two sprays to ensure the pimento and cardamom notes have time to develop before fading slightly.
