The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, capturing the moment when crisp citrus meets earthy woods in a bustling café.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2017, A Collection by Zara is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men that blends the freshness of marine and citrus notes with the warmth of woody and powdery accords. Sea Notes and Bergamot open with a crisp, invigorating burst, while Jasmine and Peach add a subtle sweetness to the heart. The base of Cedar and Vetiver grounds the composition with earthy depth, creating a scent that is both refreshing and comforting.

How to wear it

A single spray is enough to capture its essence — the marine and citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, while the woody base provides lasting warmth. It's best for daytime wear, where the freshness of the opening complements a morning routine.
