Surprisingly good smooth spicy amber
In the end I bought a bottle, and it seems like they are discontinuing them, so I advice you to do the same if you are planning. It is a very elegant perfume.
It starts with a boozy note of cognac, dry fruit and strong spices, reminds me the 1270 . The beginning is pretty strong and is very alcoholic, thick. It presents more masculine in the first moments, because these top notes are overshadowing the sweet base completely.
The heart is smoother, it becomes more fruity and soft. The overpowering cognac vibe disappears and it becomes calm, warm and deep. It is not sweet as gourmand scents, the sweet accord is just balancing, it's nutty sugary dry fruits, maybe a plum, with a little bit of vanilla. The main part is amber, cloves and raisins, it is dark and sharp kind of amber. I agree that there is a little bit of powdery iris in here, to dial down the sharpness.
The base and the sillage are sweet just up to the right point. Amber, sandal, some tonka and sour dry fruits and berries note similar to Zaras Zara Emotions N°03 - Ebony Wood Eau de Parfum . Very cosy and very rich.
This is absolutely amazing for 16 euro that they are asking on zara website right now. The quality of this one is astonishing. It is mature, it's elegant, it's serious and sophisticated, very bold. It's one of the best in all Zara lines, discontinued included.

Have you noticed how it performs in different settings, like casual outings versus formal events? I’d love to hear how it fits into your collection!

I just bought it today and I am trying it at home right now. I wouldn't wear it in a casual setting in fact, it's quite strong and bold statement perfume.
