The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Zara's 02 Black Amber is a fragrance that balances the brightness of citrus with the warmth and depth of amber and vanilla. The composition opens with mandarin orange and cherry, giving way to passionfruit and tiare flower, creating an intriguing contrast between freshness and sweetness. The heart notes of hyacinth add a touch of floral elegance, while the base notes of amber, vanilla, and white musk provide a rich, enveloping warmth.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points, as the mandarin orange top notes are bright but fleeting. The amber and vanilla base notes develop gradually, so this fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room.
