Scent #01 Zara, unveiled in 2014, is positioned as a masculine fragrance, rooted in the fern and wood families. A fragrance from the Scent collection, in eau de toilette.
Country of origin — Spain, and that already says something about the quality. Scent #01 Zara unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
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 note pyramid of Scent #01 is built as a layered story, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The style of Zara is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Ambery, Spicy, Wood and Green. The palette also extends to Citrus and Whiteflower. At family level the composition sits in Fern and Wood.
Without strict stage separation the notes arrive together with a noble cedar mood: Ambergris, Black Pepper, Cedar, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Mandarin and Orange blossom.
The middle and base stages are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The accord architecture is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Floral and Wood without random overlap. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over.
In summary Scent #01 sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best understood through real development.
