The perfect raspberry-creamy everyday companion!

A fruity leather fragrance for everyday wear - that's what you'll find here! A really great fragrance that can easily keep up with high-end fragrances (I even claim that the DNA gives me slight vibes of Side Effect and Blessed Baraka...).

Very raspberry but not over the top, leather comes through from the beginning and after a while the scent becomes a bit creamier and sweeter - but definitely positively sweet! H/S are absolutely good, not over the top but simply bomb for the price range. You can still smell the fragrance on your hair the next day without any problems. And you really enjoy smelling it!

The bottle is also simply beautiful - I think it's perfect, even if it's too minimalist for some. It feels good in the hand, is heavy and simply looks great. You simply look forward to using it.

All in all, a really, really, REALLY great fragrance for every day that can easily compete with fragrances in three times the price range!

Sizzling Arabian Desert’s Nights

I have been wandering around this fragrance for some time, which is not accessible in all stores, and finally last Sunday I got it in my hands. For some bizarre reason, ZARA decided to call this piece from the Sensitive Metallics collection Mystical Metal, but honestly, I don’t find any connection with metals. Some people write it smells very similar to Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum. Far away from judging their opinion, I find Mystical Metal to be a softer leathery fragrance, with a hint of woody leather that changes throughout the progression. They certainly give off the same vibes and the same profiles. The combination of raspberry and leather helps, but this is much gentler than Tuscan Leather.

It comes out of the sprayer with a noticeably fresh blend of bittersweet raspberry and mild leather supported by a tinge of spiciness and muskiness. The red fruits are everything but sweet. Slowly, the raspberry tones down and the suede takes over a bite more. A surprising and unexpected opening; I was expecting something ozonic, airy, and metallic, but no. I am wrapped in inviting woodsy leather with delicate fruity scents.

Entering the next phase of the perfume, we find a hibiscus that gives a strong acrid smell with a tinge of pomegranate. If you are familiar with hibiscus herbal infusion, also referred to as roselle, flor de Jamaica in Latin America, karkadé in Egypt and Sudan, you should recognize those astringent and acidic notes typical of dried hibiscus flowers. A not-too-high-pitched saffron contrasts the acidic cranberry-like flavour part. A veil of powdery accord is perceived between the acidic notes of hibiscus and the spicier ones of saffron. This is thanks to the alfa-isometil ionone molecule, which here expresses the more powdery aspects of the iris and less watery aspects of violet.

Despite the presence of coumarins, which add that touch of spicy and non-gourmand vanilla, the dominant accord is that of leather, or rather suede, softer, warmer, velvety, delicate, and non-animal. That dusty, powdery shade that emerged in the heart remains present, now combined with refined leather and earthy musk. After many hours, a semi-sweet, fruity and powdery trail remains, with the tones of raspberry and iris still recognizable in the shadow. I would like to point out that iris and vanilla here, although subtle, make all the difference, along with the smooth leather that never turns too harsh or animalic.

Similarly to Gold Oddity " the duration and projection are satisfying, ensuring a constant presence without being overwhelming. Mystical Metal is a fragrance suitable for both day and evening, versatile for many occasions. It remains anchored to fabrics for days. It is healthy, and genderless, for all lovers of leathery perfumes, even for those like me who are more into animalic leathers. Although the notes and accords suggest that it is a perfume suitable for the colder months, I feel like wearing it in these first days of spring, and then daring to go out on some summer evenings. Is it worth it? For me, yes.

I formulate my feelings on a bottle I have owned since March 2024 (BC 33350).

Unexpectedly beautiful raspberry-leather fragrance

In my opinion, the fragrance should not hide at all - the price-performance ratio is unbeatable! Finally a raspberry-leather fragrance that is not too leathery and also works wonderfully in everyday life. The raspberry gives the fragrance the necessary sweetness, but it doesn't stand out as too sweet for a women's fragrance thanks to the other components. The leather gives the fragrance a pleasant "cool" note - difficult to grasp, but I find this subtle note very pleasant and special. At first, the fragrance reminded me of Montale DNA - Intense Cafe or Roses Musk? Only fluffier and more suitable for everyday use. Intense Cafe only without coffee and with raspberry and Roses Musk without rose only with raspberry. Not a dupe at all, but I get a subtle vibe from it. But I find Mystical Metal more beautiful and elegant :) For me a must-have from the Zara fragrances and I really hope that this fragrance can stay in the range for a long time.

By the way, I think the bottle is beautiful - simple and beautiful on the shelf. I'd love to see more minimalist bottles like this!
