Amber Affogato

I really, really like this. It's long lasting and I keep smelling the tester I brought back. A bit on the higher end for a Zara fragrance price-wise and I'll definitely wait until the Summer ends to get it seeing as it's definitely a fragrance for the colder months. I'd pin this as a daytime/afternoon scent for Fall and Winter. It's absolutely unisex, can be used by both genders easily - there's a sweetness to it that's kind of a milky powdery incense, but something that feels very close to suede stops it from being overly sweet. Cosy but kind of in a vintage, dangerous way. Edit: I bought this and it's really, really strong. A couple of sprays are plenty. Also feel like I enjoy it more when it dries down, sometimes I spray it on clothes the night before I wear them.

It is not in Khamrah family AT ALL! It is absolutely my favorite from zara. Sweet, deep, warm and strong. Very gourmand! I layer it with babycat (ysl) STUNNING 🫶

Opens with a strong, juicy cinnamon note that mellows out after the first hours. Undecided if I really like it or if it’s just an oddity. As always with Zara would love a small set of 10 ml or smaller to explore and/or collect. Edit: okay, it’s definitely a like. If not even a love. It’s growing on me big time and I will add it to my collection. Quite linear, but is shapeshifting genders back and forth over its lifespan. So absolutely a very unique scent, that is challenging me and keeps things interesting.

From the line I think this one is the safest to blind (but still don’t recommend because it’s very ambery and a heavy vanilla). It’s nice and lovely, nothing groundbreaking but still pleasant and would be happy to get it as a gift, but wouldn’t buy it for myself because Chai and Blackberry oud caught my attention. It starts loud but shortly it develops to a warm skin scent, very pleasant and warm.

It has that unmistakable Zara amber note that you get in a lot of oter Zara perfumes, but to me it's mostly a coffee fragrance: but a very wearable nice coffee fragrance. Recognizable as coffee but also one where it doesn't get too gourmand and photorealistic. I love amber fragrances and I enjoy this one - but it's probably not going to be my favorite out of this line of the desert.
