The story behind the bottle.
(Metamber) by Zara, launched in 2024, is an Oriental Woody fragrance for men that blends the fresh spice of black pepper with the warmth of white amber and musk. The mossy base adds a touch of earthiness, creating a scent that feels grounded yet sophisticated. This fragrance is part of the 'Vibe Variations' collection, designed to evoke a specific mood rather than adhere to traditional perfumery categories.
(Metamber) has a strong opening with its fresh spicy notes, which fade within an hour. To make sure you get the full experience, apply it lightly but evenly across your pulse points. The mossy base takes about two hours to fully bloom, so it's best worn during longer engagements where you can appreciate its evolving character.
