Tender Amber Intense

One thing that really can be frustrating about these Zara fragrances is that their list of notes is so confusing. I bought this one from the website where the notes listed were amber, saffron, incense, labdanum, rose, tuberose, exotic fruit and blackcurrant. But then the box lists added notes of lemon, magnolia, cedarwood, vanilla, cahsmere wood and musk, but does not list the tuberose and rose. Even still, the box also describes this fragrance as an “ambery floral”. Which I would imagine that just the magnolia in this huge list of all different kind of stuff doesn’t make it a “floral”, so I guess we can assume that it does have the tuberose and rose? I don’t know, maybe I take this too seriously, but it’s pretty confusing like that. Especially seeing as the tuberose is probably the note that drove me to this the most: I enjoy tuberose and I always get very intrigued when there’s a tuberose fragrance that is masculine targeted. I really enjoy this fragrance. It’s great to have an ambery fragrance that smells like it would be great for hot weather, with the fruitiness. It’s definitely very fruity, a tad soapy in a way as well. The fact that you don’t have any fruity notes here on Fragrantica is definitely misleading. This one smells great, which I expected from this kind of bottle. I really love Antique Brown from this line as well, sadly, the Antique Brown performs so badly. I hope this one will be a great performer.

tested both the old and the new ones, no noticeable difference tldr: unique and elegant ambery scent, versatile, long lasting AND cheap. cant really get much better than that this one really surprised me, i pretty much never bothered to try zara fragrances until recently, and im pretty sure i struck gold with this one. smoky and ambery, as described, but the black currant in the opening makes it something special. elegant thanks to the saffron and the floral notes, surprisingly unique, smooth, and the dry down is absolutely to die for. none of what i mentioned would really matter if the perfume fades away as soon as you spray it, but here is where this one shines. in my experience, it was still noticeable on my skin after 12hrs and it projects very well. versatile in my eyes, exceptions being probably at the gym, or in very warm weather. some could say its a bit cloying (?) but imo the sweetness is pretty adequate for what its going for. strong recommend for me

Haven't smelled Erba Pura nor Kirke but this fragrance alone already got my attention in the first place, it smells expensive like a mix of sweet juicy fruits with a touch of spiciness first then a little creamy ambery in the dry down and stays pretty long close to the skin. all I can say is this is not a boring scent and the type of scent that is not easy to find a well blended from Zara it's round balanced airy not cloying even can use whole year any season

AMAZING This feels like a combination 2 things; erba pura and kirké, but, this is not only a fusion fragrance, but a different one inspired by them, i highly recommend to get this one if you like erba pura. It smells basically like berries, amber, incense and a bit of ambroxan (even if it ́s not declared i feel a bit of it in this). This is a great perfume, it can even compete with a lot of niche perfumes.

This is an affordable performance beast that easily lasts for more than 12 hours on my skin. It serves as a great, budget-friendly alternative to Xerjoff Erba Pura. Honestly, Zara seldom releases a high-quality fragrance with such impressive performance and longevity like this one. I was so impressed that I had to immediately purchase a backup bottle, just in case it is discontinued or out of stock soon.
