The story behind the bottle.
Zara Man 2000 by Zara was launched in 2000 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Alberto Morillas. This fragrance opens with a bright burst of bergamot and neroli, followed by an herbal heart featuring sage and cardamom. The composition then transitions into warm, spicy notes like pepper and nutmeg before settling into a musky base accented by cedar and vetiver. Zara Man 2000 is a proof of the brand's commitment to contemporary elegance, striking a balance between freshness and warmth.
Apply one or two sprays for daytime wear; the fresh spicy notes are most noticeable initially but give way to a warm musky base that lasts through the workday. The fragrance reads best close to skin rather than from a distance.
