by Zara
Cashmere Rose by Zara is a light, feminine, and delicate musky floral with a soft powdery warmth. It features a subtle lotus and peach heart paired with white musk, creating a comforting, skin-like scent that feels gentle and wearable. The fragrance is primarily musky and powdery, with a clean, slightly sweet profile that many users describe as cozy and reassuring. It leans heavily into a soft, well-blended musk base rather than rose, making it more suitable for fans of simple, refined musks rather than traditional rose scents. Many note its longevity is moderate but not strong, lasting up to five hours for some. Its quiet sillage and soft presence make it ideal for daily wear, especially during autumn or spring evenings. It’s best enjoyed on skin or light fabrics, where it spreads gently without overwhelming. Several compare it favorably to In Love by Air by Reb’l Fleur, though it’s notably tamer and more accessible than that sultry leathered floral. Others find it sharp and chemical-like, especially with sudden bitterness from musk or acetone-like notes, which can make it feel abrasive to sensitive noses. While some find it sophisticated and elegant, others feel it lacks character or depth, calling it generic or underwhelming.
