Zara 9.0 Zara is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. 9.0 Zara opens with Bergamot, Coriander, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Iris, Pepper, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Zara's 9.0 Zara carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A legendary cheapie, oft-compared to high-end designer fragrances, 9.0 Zara is a crowd-pleaser and absolute steal for its price. Prepare for heartbreak though, as Zara's fickle release schedule means it's frequently discontinued. If you spot a bottle, snap it up.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

A sophisticated blend that opens with a fresh, aromatic pop of juniper and bergamot, spiced gently by coriander. The heart reveals a creamy, powdery iris, underscored by warm cardamom and a hint of pepper. It settles into a refined base of earthy vetiver, dry cedar, and a soft, inviting amber. It's an elegant, subtly sweet, and slightly woody affair.
