Notes Pyramid
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2012, Zara Black Amber is an oriental fragrance that balances bright top notes with a warm, enveloping base. The opening tangerine and passionfruit create a vibrant contrast against the rich amber and vanilla in the heart and base notes, resulting in a scent that feels both fresh and comforting. This composition captures the essence of modern elegance while staying true to its oriental roots.
Apply this fragrance lightly — the top notes are bright but brief. The amber and vanilla base will settle in after about an hour, offering lasting warmth that reads best close to skin rather than across a room.
