Zara · 2024

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Zara Golden Fog is a men's perfume where saffron and black leather lead, lifted by mandarin orange and bergamot. Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though the number of votes is small, so this is a tentative reading. There are not enough votes to say which seasons or occasions it suits. It is classed as a masculine scent. The scent reads as a single whole rather than in stages. Citrus freshness sits over a leathery, smoky and animal base, saffron adds a spicy, sweet warmth, and woody and slightly floral touches run through it.
