Zara Black Amber

A slightly more fruity/synthetic version of D&G The One! I can only compare it with The One Edp, which I own a bottle of. In the heart notes, more similarities appear, but in the base they again become very easy to separate. Black Amber has more of a tangy vibe+has that tiare 'note in it. I'd say longevity is better on my skin with Zara. But no way near as smooth & creamy as The One. I could wear Zara Black Amber every day without problem, it easy to like!! Both scents have their advantages.

Ripe juicy tangerines and passionfruit mix perfectly with a beautiful base of amber and vanilla. This is a sweet juicy oriental. My favorite. I love that there are no spices in this, just velvety smooth creamy orangy sweetness. This is one of the few perfumes that I can smell each individual note perfectly. I feel this is quite a unique scent and very versatile.

This was my first ever perfume.. I had just finished college and the professional spirit made me choose this. You can never get bored with this. Its not an addictive scent.. but very classy indeed. It has a dominance of a woman with grace of a lady. Lovely.

I like this one a lot! It is indeed similar to The one, and L’eau The one, as many already mentioned here. It is softer than The one and longevity is not so good (about 2-3 hour on my skin; but then, L’eau The one has similar longevity, too) and maybe just less complex as well. Sillage is minimal and I like that in my perfumes, too. I like The one, but that one is a bit too loud for my personality, and Black Amber works just very well. I find some similarities to the drydown of Roberto Cavalli Nero Assolutto as well, most likely because of vanilla. It is really very very affordable and the bottle is simple, nice and elegant. I love amber and vanilla there. It is quite sweet but not in a cloying way. I find it quite linear, or rather to say it goes quickly for top notes to heart notes to drydown. It is not very complicated but rather simple fragrance but I find it easy to wear, maybe just because of that. My others sometimes make me tired at the end of the day, while this one is just soft and nice. It may not be very original or special. I believe that those who tested very many fragrances may find it not interesting enough. I’d say it is quite versatile, lightly applied suitable for days at work, with a heavier hand - for nights out (with option for respraying after 2 hours). It is sweet and cozy enough for wearing on lazy Sunday mornings at home, as well as for Saturday lunches with girlfriends and safe for work. Budget friendly. Edit. As for comparisson with The One. I now own and familliar well with both. I think Black Amber may be a substitute if you are not so well familliar with The One. They open very similar, and definitely similar scents. If you are familliar well with The One, Black Amber can not replace it. I do smell very much likeness in the opening, but the scents evolve differently later. Black Amber has very short longevity on me, and is much weaker. It doesn't has this richness, roundness and depth of The One. It is much less sweet too.

Impressive perfume created by a high street brand. Yes I heard it many times most of their perfumes are duplicates of the more famous brands but I personally can't deny the rich quality of this scent and the fact that this lasts for more than 7 hours on my skin alone imagine on my clothes! For only 6 pounds (this is on discount today)I got myself a real treat♡ 2 sprays go a long way for me. If you like oriental, intoxicating, and romantic perfume try this one you won't regret. X
