About This Perfume
Zara Black Amber smells like sweet fruity tangerine, soft powdery vanilla. It opens with tangerine, moves into passionfruit and tiare flower and settles on amber and vanila. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. It suits casual days and date nights. Released in 2012.
In the community's experience it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something gourmand and sweet for casual days.
- Sample first if: sweet is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike fruity fragrances.
Around $60.
