EAU/02 Tanto Amore Zara 2023

After I tested my first Zara fragrance this week (Somewoody) and was really pleasantly surprised, here are my impressions of the second fragrance I bought called "Tanto Amore". Again, the bottle is kept simple, blue colored glass and a dark imitation wood lid. The shape of the bottle is very similar to the Mancera bottles. Only the sprayer could be a little better.

The design conveys a cool, clean, fresh and aquatic first impression. And this is also the case with the fragrance - it is clearly a "blue fragrance". I immediately thought of a certain proximity to Yves Saint Laurent Y, which may be due to the fact that some of the fragrance notes are the same, such as juniper berry, sage, lavender and vetiver. But it is by no means a copy, it just has a certain similarity. In the top note, the blood orange is very noticeable, giving the fragrance a fruity, fresh feel. As mentioned, the heart note is similar to YSL Y and the finish is slightly woody. There are currently many fragrances on the market that follow this pattern, but Zara does it quite well here, because the interplay of the fragrance notes is quite successful. The composition stands out somewhat from other blue fragrances, but does not forget the familiar characteristics of just such fragrances: Fresh, clean, slightly aquatic, slightly woody - you can't go wrong here, the fragrance can be used anywhere. Above all, I think of sun, beach, vacation in Italy, Spain or the South of France. The longevity is good for such a fragrance, I get 7-8 hours, sillage is also good.

Conclusion:

Tanto Amore has convinced me. It is a good "blue" fragrance that makes you feel good. The H&S is good and the price-performance ratio is top. You can't go wrong here. I will become a Zara fan if the quality of other fragrances from the brand is this good.
