The world first encountered Man Uomo by Zara in 2017. By character, a masculine fragrance drawing from the spicy, east, and wood families. The fragrance belongs to the Zara Man Collection 2017 collection. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.
It carries a moderate sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. This fragrance doesn't rush to leave — you can count on high longevity. Country of origin — Spain, and that already says something about the quality. Man Uomo Zara unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Man Uomo is built as a living composition, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The signature of Zara is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette supports the right density and pace of development.
In the first seconds you sense sparkling citrus first notes: Black Pepper, Lemon and Mandarin. Exactly these 3 notes build sunny vitality that anchors the first impression immediately.
At the core of development you meet Cardamom, Cinnamon and Nutmeg carrying a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Citrus, Wood, Spicy and Oriental with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read. In longevity terms High suggests confident staying power.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Spicy, Citrus, Fairy and Wood. The palette also extends to Gourmet.
Taken together Man Uomo sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.
