Fruity · Sweet · Synthetic
Zara (Metamber) is a men's fragrance that pairs a fruity, sweet start with a spicy, woody and oriental base.
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. There is no season or occasion data to lean on, but it reads as masculine.
Black pepper sits on top and white amber in the heart, so the first spray feels peppery and sharp before the amber softens it. In the base, musk, dry woods and moss take over, leaving a synthetic, creamy, resinous and earthy feel, with leathery and animalic touches underneath. Montale Black Musk and Al Haramain Platinum Oud have a close profile.
