Zara Black Amber is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. Black Amber opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower and Passionfruit, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Zara's Black Amber carries a Statement verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Zara Black Amber is a polarising scent - some find it a delightful, rich tropical musk, others a sour, cheap disappointment. Expect a playful, sweet fragrance that's a bit of a gamble depending on your skin chemistry.

About

Opens with a juicy burst of mandarin before diving into a sweet, exotic heart of tiare flower and passionfruit. The dry down is a comforting, warm embrace of vanilla and soft musk. It's a sweet, fruity, and musky blend with a distinctly tropical vibe, often leaning into a clean, shampoo-like freshness or a dense, bubblegum sweetness.
