Musk and Vanilla
I find little about the Zara fragrances here. So, I would like to describe Zara Night, as there are certainly interested parties.
The notes must have been mixed up, but I can't find anything more precise about it online either.

The scent is very warm, soft, vanilla-like, sweet, and musky. I suspect a large amount of heliotrope and musk combined with amber. There are subtle almond notes coming through. Possibly something fruity is involved as well. I would guess strawberry or something dark and sweet.
I don't perceive any light floral notes like peonies or roses at all. I know the spring fragrances from Zara and their notes, and this scent is more suited for winter.
I don't want to say that it smells particularly high-quality. No, it doesn't. Zara Night reminds me of the musk bombs from my childhood that gradually disappeared from the market. More like an overly dosed fabric softener or a vanilla deodorant from old times, but certainly charming and pleasant.
I like it very much, and that's why it got to come home with me.
Zara Night also has a vanilla-powdery touch but is not dusty or dry at all.
Well, the bottle with the glued-on gold-colored studded band all around is no longer that trendy. Studs are actually out again, and all bottles that hold some value now seem to feature rose gold, I've noticed. But that doesn't bother me; I care about the inner values.
Zara is always worth a visit for women's fragrances. I'm not so fond of the clothing, but there are one or two scents that have convinced me. One shouldn't be deterred from testing if one happens to catch a sweet fruity water right at the beginning. Eventually, one will come along that pleases. The fragrances are all different from one another. None resembles the other.
They are especially wearable, and I use them regularly and with pleasure. These fragrances do not gather dust in the closet, like some that lack the right occasion.
I will also wear Zara Night during the day in winter. In spring and autumn, rather in the evening. But the sillage is pleasant. It is not a screaming scent, but a warm skin caresser that accompanies me for many hours.
