Accord No 2 Oriental

Zara's Accord No 2 Oriental is a warm, gourmand fragrance with a distinctive character that blends sweet vanilla, dark chocolate, and woody amber base notes. It opens with a floral-green note of rose, geranium, and lily-of-the-valley, which quickly gives way to a bold, nutty heart dominated by walnut and hawthorn, creating a surprisingly incense-like depth that adds an unisex, almost masculine edge. The drydown is creamy and complex—dark vanilla, tonka bean, cedar, and amber work together to form an elegant, sophisticated aroma that is sweet but not cloying, with a dry, bitter-sweet finish. It’s best suited for cooler weather, particularly autumn and winter, and performs well on skin and fabric with moderate longevity and sillage. Despite some mixed feedback on its longevity, many users praise its unique character, elegance, and surprisingly long-lasting performance. The bottle design is also frequently noted as attractive and luxurious despite the affordable price point.
