What does Zara Woman Oriental smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring and summer trailing behind. It is mentioned most for evening and daily wear, and it also suits leisure time and nights out. More than half of voters read it as feminine.

Freesia and rose open on a floral note, while sandalwood and cedar form a woody middle. Caramel and vanilla take over the base, and the scent turns sweeter, settling into a gourmand, powdery and creamy feel with spicy, oriental warmth alongside.
