The berry collector

In Portugal there is a region that is rich in wild berries, more specifically in Baixo-Vouga (near Aveiro). I remember several stories told by one of my university professors who grew up in this area, where he made several walks in the fields full of these berries. After trying this fragrance for the first time, I thought I was in one of those fields harvesting the berries.

It's amazing how they managed to make this EDP as powerful and as welcoming as this one. It seems that they used the juice of the berries to make this work of art.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When it comes to performance, it's incredible. There is no doubt that it is an EDP, considering that longevity is very good as well as sillage.

I strongly recommend this perfume!

The Art of The Shoeshine

First things first, I'm not wired, people. I'm serious. I'm sitting here polishing some shoes and it occurred to me that I like the smell of shoe polish. I mean, I don't go around 'huffing' it and there is such a thing as too much, but this stuff is so damn good. You may be wondering what shoe polish has to do with all this, and you will find out right soon if you stay with me.

That said, Cool Heights belongs to the ZARA New York trilogy collection, together with White SoHo and Greenery. The opening of Cool Heights is all about fruity and citrus accord, it is fresh, I get a sort of sweetish berries, cherries, and plenty of oranges citrus peel and juice aroma. After trying it at the store, it took me 2-3 hours to figure out what this is similar to. Albeit I've seen many people comparing this with Paco Rabanne Black XS, that feeling is only at the opening for a little while. There is even a spicy edge in the opening, the Sichuan peppercorn characteristic smell stands out. Then, Cool Heights takes a different path and vibe and turns into a fragrance full of woody and smoky subtleties.

About 10 minutes later, the heart begins unveiling its notes, a watery violet appears with fresh and wet facets, yet not aquatic in a salty or marine manner. And here I got the biggest surprise, Cool Heights emanates a lovely mild leather odor, which is ain't reminiscent of a leather jacket or suede glows, but a kind of like freshly polished boots. There is a hint of shoe polish or boot polish odor, smelling like turpentine, tasting like gum, something akin to carnauba wax and Stoddard solvent, with the chemicals so strong that inhaling them produces dizziness and giddiness as huffing gasoline. I hope I haven't frightened you because this feeling is anything but unpleasant.

The dry down is supposed to be nothing but sweetish amber since one of the listed notes is the roasted tonka. Though, at least on my skin, Cool Heights releases a trail full of smoky, dry, and sulfurous woody accords. None of the following notes are listed, yet I get a blending among fumy incense, mild spices, and gentle patchouli which over the fruity notes unfold their effects to mold the ultimate aroma. After a slew of hours, a more comfortable incense vibe keeps rising in the air, yet not a church-like olibanum. The very final trail reminds Vibrant Leather, the leather note is alike.

I have to be honest, this is way more quality smelling than what I expected and it is one of the longest-lasting Zara I’ve ever tried, the performance is around all day long if you wear it as an office scent, whereas the sillage is pretty much close to the skin. I sprayed a few whiffs yesterday evening before going out for dinner, and with my big surprise, it was the first thing I smelt when I woke up this morning and took off my t-shirt. In my humble opinion, Cool Heights is for women and men alike. A natural composition that speaks of culture and wisdom. A scent that is deep, elegant, glorious, and sophisticated, a fragrance for lovers of niche houses with complex, dark, smokey nuances. Of course, cool months of Autumn are the best period for wearing this violet juice, both during the day and evening.

"Suburban Chill" in front of blue mountains.

Curious as I am, I swapped the fragrance "blindly." And I probably won't regret it. Even though my nose has smelled quite a bit, everything possible and "impossible," there are still beautiful surprises from time to time. And "mixtures" that combine several scents in one "bottle." This "Cool Heights" is one of those. The peppery-earthy notes of Terre, the blackcurrant-smoky essence reminiscent of Aventus, and the cool blue freshness of Acqua di Gio Profumo.
I have to nitpick, not about the scent, but about its "ingredient list": IT is definitely NOT complete ;-))
But that doesn't matter at all; either I interpret more into it. Or there is indeed more in it than what is stated.
Above all, it is a rather "chill" fragrance with the "green freshness" of suburban neighborhoods, from whose gardens a cool first spring scent of opening leaf buds and blooming variety wafts. Violets, several types of "bells," and flowering shrubs.
The second "under-scent" consists of berry notes in violet and light red: blackcurrants, cranberries.
Mixed with smoky mosses.
Further behind, "blue mountains" seem to emerge. Cold firn snow slowly melts and trickles down as fresh little streams. The sharp scent of coniferous trees accompanies them.
"Simple, yet complex," I would describe this Zara. And as a "triple scent" for fragrance lovers who can't decide between "Terre," "Aventus," and "Gio Profumo."
Definitely interesting and worth testing. Good and affordable ;-))

On the Berry Farm

The opening in Cool Heights is made by the berry fruit. The top note is fresh and fruity, reminding me of a mixture of blackcurrant and strawberry. Right away, I am transported back to my Work & Travel experience in Australia when I picked berries on a farm.
Surprisingly "cool" and refreshing is the top note, living up to the name "Cool Heights."

After a few minutes, the floral notes emerge. The scent becomes somewhat "warmer" and slightly gourmand in its heart note due to the tonka bean in the background. The violets are distinctly noticeable. I would not describe the scent as spicy-smoky, as indicated in the description.

What is extraordinary and special for me is the transition from cool to warm notes. Overall, it is a very interesting and definitely worthwhile fragrance with quite good sillage for Zara standards. The longevity is also decent.
