Tender Amber

Zara · 2023

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Zara Tender Amber is a fresh, creamy men's fragrance that pairs the sweetness of amber and vanilla with exotic fruits and blackcurrant. The notes read as a single whole rather than in layers: amber and vanilla give it a creamy, sweet base, while blackcurrant and exotic fruits add a fruity brightness on top. Tuberose and rose bring a soft floral touch, and sandalwood and cedarwood tie it together with a woody line. Fresh, citrus and floral accords come through most clearly. Most voters suggest spring and summer, and leisure and daily wear are the most voted occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Modern and masculine are the leading character votes, though a fair number of voters find it feminine. Oribe Côte d'Azur and The Gate Golden Hour have a close profile.

La Rive · 2017

Fresh · Citrus · Fruity
