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.

Goddamn, this is crazy; it projects and persists more than intense! The smell is so tropical and fruity, omfg.

This is 99% Kirke. Great performance too, could smell it clearly after 6 hours.

I've not tried the Kirke or Urba Pura. I heard good things about them but never got around to trying a sample. Describing this is very difficult, because it's has a very fizzy opening that smells like a mixture of citrus notes. It then turns into Paco Rabannes Ultraviolet minus the chocolate twist (I can only compare it to something I've tried lol). For many the deal breaker will be that this doesn't last long at all. I don't really mind it. I like fragrances that are a quick pick me up and gently lingers and sits closer to skin.

Okay, I deemed this as a redundant release at first but perhaps I was wrong. This is a great cologne, reminding of Kirke and Erba Pura BUUUT without their musky drydown. My main problem was with the musk note in them, so yeah this is actually pretty solid. Creamy fruit basket with slight incense touch.

Tried the bottle without the gradient at the store. Really sweet amber with flowery notes. I do not particularly enjoy rose, however in this fragrance is neatly presented. Performance is nuclear on my skin, overpowering even.

Frutty dark amber/woods. Daily wear with adjusted spray numbers, for a low price. That's what I can say. Projection is good and performance as well. 7/10 I left it to macerate and will update after a month.

Exactly the same as regular Tender Amber, don't waste money if you have that. Also if you own Leather Fever same same. If you have none and you like the fragrance buy the cheapest one at seasonal sales

I was stunned first. It was something new for me, yet, as most of Zara fragrances, it became too sweet for me as for everyday use. Occasionally might be used if mood allows.

There seems to be two versions with different packaging, I went to the Zara store and both were available, the tester was of the newer version and when I smelled it I knew this was trying to clone Kirke / Erba Pura, I decided to buy the old packaging though because I liked the look of the older version more. Well, it was a grave mistake, it says parfum but I can't smell it at all and what I smell is different from the other bottle, whatever. EDIT: It is the same but not in the first twenty minutes or so, also this feels less fresh fruity than the other packaging, weird, I can still get whiffs of it once in a while after 5 hours of wearing, for some reason this less recent batch makes me go noseblind immediately... EDIT2: I went to Zara again out of curiosity since I was around, I tried the tester bottle of the fragrance I bought with the old packaging, it smells different from the one I have with the same bottle and packaging, I don't understand, also it's way stronger, I tried the tester at 10 and it's 14 now, it's still radiating from my arm, whatever.

Awsome . I sprayed 4 spray at 4 pm . After 11 pm almost the same sillage . My friends told me they smell only me all evening , than i went home took shower applied even body lotion and you believe or not I still smell it . I ve phurchased two more bottles before it might go out

Do not overspray this, dont be fooled by the fact that its Zara fragrance. Its insanely strong. My 20+ coworkers will confirm you that, its nuclear strong. I like it a lot but others not so much

Never seen any zara fragrance that long lasting. Even two spray all over my wardrobe for 3 days.
