The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020, Classics 12.0 by Zara is a fresh and spicy Oriental Fougere fragrance for men that balances bright citrus notes with warm spices and an enveloping base of amber and musk. The composition opens with bergamot and cardamom, creating a sharp and invigorating start, before transitioning into a heart of lavender and nutmeg. The base notes of cedar, moss, and tonka bean add depth and warmth, making it feel both modern and lasting.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are enough — the citrus and spicy notes make an immediate impact but dissipate within a few hours. The amber and musk base notes linger longer, so it's best applied in the morning for sustained warmth throughout the day.
