The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016, Black Amber by Zara is a captivating Oriental Floral fragrance for women. The composition opens with the bright zest of Mandarin Orange, which quickly gives way to the lush, tropical notes of Passionfruit and Tiare Flower. These vibrant middle notes are then enveloped by a warm base of Musk and Vanilla, creating an alluring blend that is both sweet and musky. Black Amber is designed to evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, making it perfect for moments when you want to feel both confident and cozy.
Given its sweet and warm base notes, apply this fragrance lightly in the morning for a subtle yet lasting effect. The Mandarin Orange top note fades quickly, so it’s best to rely on the persistent musky and vanillic base that develops throughout the day.
