The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by Zara, Cardamom & Blood Orange is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for men. It opens with the vibrant zing of blood orange, which contrasts beautifully against the warm and spicy notes of cardamom. The composition evolves into a woody base that anchors the fresh and aromatic top layers, creating a harmonious blend that feels both invigorating and grounding.
This fragrance blooms best with two sprays — the citrus notes are bright and fleeting, while the warm spices and woody base develop gradually. It reads better close to skin rather than across a room, so aim for pulse points.
