Amber Ego
by Zara
Amber Ego by Zara is a soft, sweet, and coconut-forward fragrance that closely resembles Armani Stronger With You, particularly in its warm, gourmand drydown. It features a faint apple top note, a rich blend of amber and vanilla, and a subtly lactonic, creamy base that gives it a sun-kissed, almost tanning lotion-like character. The scent is consistently described as elegant and pleasant, with a lightweight, intimate sillage and moderate longevity, making it ideal for evening wear and intimate settings. It's best enjoyed at home or during cooler weather, as its sweet, coconutty profile can feel overwhelming in warmer temperatures. The performance is unremarkable, with moderate longevity and projection, but it's praised for being affordable and surprisingly refined for its price point.
