No 4 Amber & Fig Cashmere

I love this!!!!! I dont really remember how or why I bought it. I think tested it in Zara and it smelled like a luxurious body lotion. At that time I was more into heavy amber frags so it was a bit unusual and too cold for me. I dont know why I came back, I probably smelled it again at Zara and decided to buy it... It was summer I remember that. Anyways, I have used 2 full bottles and have an unopened one waiting its turn. Before this Ive never had a fig fragrance. This smells like an expensive lotion, its cold and cooling. Zara perfumes usually have a very similar (cheap) sweet “aftertaste” and this one doesnt have that at all. I think thats what makes it so good. It smells very niche and expensive. Tho sometimes I think it could be kinda fuller? Maybe it can be layerd with a musk base, Ill try that. I remember selling some stuff online and I sprayed the package with this perfume. The girl I sold the stuff to asked me what was the perfume I used, it was gorgeous. I do not smell it on me after some time but I dont care, I know its there. Its cool, milky, creamy and cold. Fresh but in an airy way, not in a citrusy way.

As a Zara perfume lover, it is not hard to get me to love their perfumes, but I tried this in the store very nonchalantly and, at the first sniff, I almost hated it. It literally smelled foul. Cut to 5 minutes later - I could not stop smelling my arm where I sprayed it. At first, I was wondering what the smell was because I had tried a few perfumes, but once I pinpointed what it was, I had to get it - and I did. It is very strong, with great sillage and longevity. My jacket still smells on it around the sleeves, close to where I sprayed it first. It is very sweet in its opening, but after some time, it leaves the most elegant and opulent scent, which still radiates and is strong. I would say it is a bit powdery, which is something I do not like, but overall, the clean and papery scent is a must. It's become one of my favorite scents ever, and I've had it for two days. There is no way you won't be noticed in this perfume, so I recommend it.

I absolutely love this perfume from Zara! It's very calming, subtle but with great longevity, and elegant for both sexes, of course! I love how it reminds me of some Hermès Fragrances, with a discrete vibe, but make no mistake - this one has pretty good longevity for the type of fragrance that it is, with some relaxing notes. It's ideal for every time of the year! I don't quite know yet which perfume it reminds more, but it certainly goes in the direction of a subtle relaxing vibe, with a fruity-woody-citrusy vibe (including the extraordinary fig note!!) and then a wonderful dry-down with patchouli and ambergris! Really beautiful - once again Zara and Jo Malone doing some great stuff here - damn, it really can be an almost-niche quality fragrance! I paid 25€ for the 90mL bottle, but if i had paid 60€ i still would be proud of my shopping! Will certainly get an extra bottle!

This is such a fresh and bright amber-based scent. The woody notes carry this blend, it has a sturdy feel to it. There is a zing and a slight sweetness underneath, that feels like a breeze. I miss this so much, and my bottle is running thin. EDIT: my prayers were heard, amen! May your plants always flourish ✨️ A lot of people seem surprised that Zara had such a beautiful blend with this much longevity, but for those who don't know, this is one of Jo Malone's collabs with Zara (thank you mother for feeding us, the less financially blessed). Anyway, whomst at Jo Malone do I need to @ so that they consider making a version of this for the main brand? Clearly this didn't make the cut of becoming a mainstay at the Zara line-up, but I know Jo was in her bag when she put this together so let's make it happen.

nascilde You're absolutely right ! Smell is amazing for the price ! I have just received my bottle, it was a blind buy, I have thought that I might be similar to Bottega Veneta Illusione, but no it's not. The opening bites you with citrus and pepper, but soon... all you get is this classic amber accord - vanilla, benzoin, sweet resin - just lovely, mixed with milky fig. I can pick up some woody notes, maybe patchouli. As name state - AMBER is main star and yes you can get cashmere like quality texture from this ! I would recommend even a blind buy !
