Dark Emerald

Dark Emerald by Zara is a sweet, gourmand fragrance with prominent almond, vanilla, and musk notes, evoking a warm, creamy, and slightly fruity sensibility. It shares strong similarities with Juicy Couture's Viva la Juicy Gold Couture and Marc Jacobs Decadence, though it lacks the depth and longevity of the originals. Some users liken it to Poison Girl, appreciating its richer, more sensual dry-down, while others find it overly sweet or reminiscent of a vanilla car air freshener. The scent is described as cozy and wearable, with moderate sillage and decent longevity for its price, making it a favorite for evening wear and winter seasons. It's widely seen as an accessible, budget-friendly alternative to high-end fragrances with similar profiles.
