The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Zara Sydney by Zara is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men that balances the freshness of citrus with earthy warmth. The composition opens with vibrant grapefruit and elemi resin, creating an invigorating top accord. This gives way to a heart note of rose and incense, adding depth and complexity. Vetiver and patchouli form a robust base, grounding the fragrance in rich earth tones while the balsamic and amber notes lend it a subtle sweetness.
Apply one to two sprays to ensure the vibrant top notes don't overpower the rich base. The fragrance blooms gradually, so it's best to let it settle for about an hour before stepping out. It pairs well with cooler evenings but can also hold its own during the day.
