In a Persian market

Some fragrances are as evocative as some musics. This one, with a "Madeleine effect"reminded me of a piece I usually liked listening to when I was only a child: "In a Persian market " by Ketelbey.
If in that music you can find all the sounds of a typical souk , in this scent I find all the warm smells typically oriental. No matter if the ingredients are chocolate and flowers too, but my mind thinks of spices and tents everytime I smell this fragrance.
The bottle too is very nice and recalls the one designed for the Privé collection by Armani. The price is very affordable and now I'm addicted to this so evocative oriental unisex scent!

Beyond Gender: The Seductive Enigma

Zara Accord N°2 Oriental is just too good to be true. Notwithstanding it has been released for women, it's equally captivating for men. Classified as spicy and floral sweet, this scent possesses dark edges, with hawthorn blossom exuding that heavy musky fragrance with sensual undertones that makes the scent bold, confident, and unmistakably commanding.

The opening unfolds with green and floral notes—purple rose and herbal geranium leaves intertwined with a whisper of the poisonous lily of the valley. The absence of citrus notes in this overture makes this perfume excellent for cold weather. This represents the more feminine facet of the fragrance, with floral notes that linger in the background like a delicate promise.

The heart starts pounding after a while, revealing nutty tones of walnut, obscure and androgynous whiffs of hawthorn, and gourmand crumbles of pure black chocolate. Here, the walnut presents itself as mildly nutty, musty, phenolic, and woody with grain-like nuances, blending gracefully with cocoa and hawthorn. The resulting aroma is attractive, deep, and mysterious—this edge of the fragrance transcends gender boundaries, perfectly suitable for both women and men.

And finally, here comes the dry down... It is dry-bitter-sweet, creamy, and woody. There is amber with its dusty aspect, tonka bean's characteristic sweetness, dark vanilla creaminess, and the steadfast woodiness of cedar. This is the more masculine side of the fragrance, grounding the composition with strength and character.

I fell in love with Zara Accord N°2 Oriental at the very first whiff but didn't purchase it immediately as I was searching for Accord N°3 Woody. However, this one has now earned its rightful place in my wardrobe, and I remain utterly enchanted by it!
Both longevity and sillage are moderate, and as mentioned, the best seasons for wearing this enigmatic scent are late autumn and winter.

Come on, men—don't just dream it, dare it, and do it!

(Un)cut Diamond

I wish it were a fragrance from a renowned perfume house. An expensive, noble jewel. One that outshines all other bottles when it stands on the shelf. Almost a collector's item. Desirable. Known and revered in certain circles.

I have often been delighted by a scent, written an enthusiastic comment, only to grow tired of it so quickly. Not that I would completely retract the comment. It was all genuinely felt at that moment. But it just didn't last long. The sample was promising and enchanting. The search for the bottle exciting. Then the bottle arrived. Disappointing.

Here it was different. Blind swap. Few expectations. Smells damn good at first. I wear it for several days in a row. Still enchanting. Wow, this could be a candidate for a comment. Signature scent? I don't think I have one, why limit myself? But I still can't get enough of it.

Well, I just wish the fragrance were unique and high-ranking in every respect, in every detail it communicates - from name, bottle, packaging to marketing and the way and where I buy it - as unique and high-ranking as what it communicates olfactorily. If I already find this special scent, couldn't it please be a perfume that is perfect all around? I feel superficial with this thought, which I actually? am not. Maybe it's simply the fact that it deserves it.

The scent is not oriental at all in my perception. Not cloying or heavy. If anything, it is an extremely bright, light gourmand. Flowers play a rather subordinate role. It is also not animalistic or particularly spicy.

What I perceive as most dominant is walnut and the lightest white chocolate vanilla. I usually don't like to compare perfume with desserts - I can only handle scents that smell very foody and sweet to a limited extent. The description tempts, but wearing it shocks. Unfortunately.
But here the white chocolate fits quite well. Nevertheless, the scent is rather unsweet. Only vanilla and rose provide a subtle sweetness. It is indeed a tad woody. But also airy. Calling the amber in the fragrance pyramid dry was extremely fitting. You can hardly smell it, and it is not very animalistic, but very mild and tame. I am still not sure if the scent is powdery. I think it has something powdery, but never dusty. More like sparkling, even. Sometimes I have this association that a scent smells sparkling, like champagne sparkles, just without alcohol. It could be that the hawthorn triggers this for me. I had seen through googling that many find the smell of blooming hawthorn in nature disgusting. I don't know exactly how that smells. For me, hawthorn is cool elegance. Chanel beige.

I don't want to write much more about the scent. I hope there will be (many) more comments.
If the fragrance is not an expensive, rare jewel, I want to focus on the benefits. I hope that many of you - especially my gourmand, vanilla, and powder friends - can enjoy this vanilla-nut airy delight thanks to the affordable price.
It is special one way or another. It doesn't have to be exclusive. I like to share this treasure with you.
