This perfume made me fall in love cardamon note in perfumes. I just love this scent, so fresh , clean and uplifting. I really sorry its discontinued.

Love love looove this one! Truly gender neutral, turns just a tad sweet on me, like everything, so it balances out the vibe. Pure cardamom and green freshness, pretty linear, straight forward and easy to reach. It last 5-6 hours and even more on clothes. Perfect for crisp, spring weather. You must love spices to pull it off.

So sad it is not available anymore :(

I love cardamom and I love this fragrance. This fragrance has a strong projection on me and it last for hours and hours. It's spicy and green maybe a touch of tea but mostly cardamom. it reminds me of baked nordic pastries perfect for the cooler weather but it's "greeness" also makes it appropriate for summer and spring. I just love this scent. If you're not a spicy or cardamom fan, then this one is not for you.

a lovely gender neutral scent. its very very spicy so be warned, if you don't like cardamom steer well away from this fragrance. i love this for the warmer months personally. however, aside from its spiciness, there isn't much dimension to this scent. after an hour it disappears. on me, i can't smell any grassiness, just the spice. i also have vanilla & a sweet pastry in paris from zara, and this would be in the middle for me. i wish the longevity was better.

Morgen

At first it starts with a fresh, spicy and herbal scent, but one hour later it is just only musk. I hate musk. In the end of it, it smells like wet dog on my skin.

Hesperos

This smells a bit too much like a spice rack to me. I will generally layer this with one of my more feminine scents to soften it a bit. I do love cardamom but I just can't pull it off by itself.

Reminds me so much of Hermès’ Un Jardin En Mediterranée - I can’t be the only one? I think it’s the green notes in the dry down. Very warm cardamom and herbal-y from the tea.

Eaatwood

I bought this in 2018 and couldn’t find any info about it at the time. It’s definitely not gender neutral imo. This is a woman’s fragrance. I bought it because I resell and at the time there was absolutely no info on the net for it

aet

very nicely done! fresh and spicy at the same time with a green undercurrent throughout. not a deep, multifaceted fragrance, but that is part of its charm. truly unisex. medium longevity. sillage improved by extra sprays.

It's available on the Zara online store again. It's in the women's section. I don't see the other two fragrances from this line there though.

Jabouba

Oh my lord, I fell in love with this one at the very first spray.
It smells a lot like Mimosa & cardamom Jo Malone.
Love it and great for all day long.

I liked this perfume so much I actually went back to the store and bought two more bottles for fear they would no longer stock it. This is a perfect working out/summer scent, you know, the sweltering, swim in your own sweat kind of summer. You want something that will shake you out of that heat induced stupor, you want some air and freshness, you want something that will cut through the smells of all these hot bodies around you and mask your own, as well. Normally the answer to this demand list would be citrus, but I hate this note in perfume, so this is the ideal companion for me. It's got that pleasant bouyancy thanks to the cardamom, it's noticeable but not overpowering. Lingers on clothes, too. It is quite linear, but I think this line is supposed to be, what you get is what you will be getting. It lasts a long time on me and I've gotten all sorts of delightful compliments on it, too.

This perfume reminds me of cardamom cookies I’ve eaten from Asian bakery. It is delicious! Cardamom is the dominant note with hint of powder like chai tea. This is unisex.

I live in Arizona desert with hot dry days most of year so keep that in mind when I say it lasts about 4-5 hours on my extremely dry skin. Today it is 112 degrees and it lasted 4 hours with projection strong the first hour then became a skin scent.

This was a safe blind buy and very inexpensive off Zara website. Definitely will buy again!

pierreelkhoury

Closer to voyage than declaration to my nose but in both ways a solid performer and very nice scent with excellent value, i love it.

ViouAmara

This cardamom makes me feel sexy, natural, strong and self-confident. It is androgynous, unisex in the best way. Tea, with the green spice, simple and linear, uplifting und cooling. It is a super go-to-bed fragrance, for the summer nights. And in the early morning, just before the heat, it gives a kind of impulsion to feel ok. It is a little bit like E thé bleue, more uncomplicated but definitively the same zen vibe.

Condet

The accuracy of scent of every single ingredient claimed doesn't matter. No body cares about it in fact. At the end the juice comes up with outstanding noticeable feminine aroma. It represents elegance, confidence, and dominance. The longevity? I can keep sensing it after 5 hours. I said I sense it myself.
Zara made a great work! I love this piece.

Nikkafragrance

Natural cardamon, stays close to skin, longevity is about 2 hours on me. Very similar to Ambar by Jesus del Pozo.

TankGirl

I love pistachio and I love this scent. I wish the top notes lasted longer and that is why I am not buying it. Zara fragrances are always great when you buy them but give it a couple of weeks and they will end up as air fresheners, I have learned my lesson so will not fall into temptation.

boriskus

Normally, I don't criticize olfactive perceptions of others', but the previous review is tremendously weird and misleading.

First, it is definitely a solid monoaromatic fragrance. The smell of cardamom spreads very rapidly. Later on, it comforts me for at least three hours.

I originally smelled it on my ex-wife, knowing nothing about it, and immediately asked if that was cardamom. She bought it in Athens for smth EUR 20, which I believe is definitely a cool price for this type of frag. Actually, there are so many pricey disappointments in the market. In comparison with those, Zara perfume is actually a treasure hidden in a mainstream mass-market bottle.

Smelling Cardamom on my partner in parenthood was quite an uplifting experience, and she was ok to share it with me. So that is how this perfume became my regular companion for the morning routine, comforting me with a rich glaze of cardamom. I usually do three to four sprays on my wrists and hair after having a shower. Usually, the smell lasts until lunchtime, making the first half of a day meditative and fulfilling.

My best preferable weather for this frag is spring/autumn days, smth 0 to +10 Celsius. It is very enjoyable to feel how a warm eastern spice note comes into contradiction with a biting wind.

Matux

I don't get cardamom, nor any vibe related to Cartier Declaration or Dupont pH. I detect what I can describe as very fresh citric topnotes, later on very annoying metalic mid notes and, finaly, citric and musky basenotes.

It reminds me of a low quality Signor Ricci 1.

As to projection, it is strong when top and midnotes evolve. The time span between these is quite short, this playing in favor of the blend - mid notes it does not play a central role. This is not the case of the basenotes, they stay for a long time on the skin with tenacity - washing it it away is futile, the molecules won't be washed off.

In summary, it is a very original blend: not only among mainstream brands, also among Zara's scents - most of their blends play around certain templates; bubble gummy and fruitchuly in the case of women's, acquatic and fruity in the case of men's.

It is a quite enjoyable unisex option for a low price. I would definitely choose it if after a sparkling, living, crispy, happy Summer scent, which, in my opinion, could be a signature scent.

Discard it if looking after projection with durability (of course, this could be be solved through liberal application).

smells very much like cardamom, too bad it lasts less than an hour.

rhr

Reminiscent of Declaration line to my nose.

raydeaz

I'm in love with it. Very fresh but little spicy. Moderate duration, very sticky on the clothes. The grass scent very natural And btw Nice packaging.

persefoni

What a surprise from Zara! It smells wonderfully fresh, bitter and spicy at the same time! It would also make for a splendid reed diffuser! It lifts my mood every time i test it! Doesn't last more than 4 hours on me, but i love the trip!

ps: love the wooden cap, too!

similar to yves saint laurent la nuit!
