This cardamom fragrance from Zara delivers a crisp, green-spicy profile centered around warm cardamom and tea, with a light herbal undercurrent. It’s clearly intended as a gender-neutral option, resonating best with those who appreciate bold, aromatic spices. The scent is fresh and lively upon application, evoking the dry, citric-green quality of cardamom pods and a subtle, powdery tea note. Most users find it linear and unchanging, with a moderate sillage that lingers just long enough to be noticed—but it doesn’t develop into a full olfactory journey. On many users, longevity is gentle, lasting upward of 4 to 5 hours, particularly when applied generously or worn on clothing. It performs best in spring and summer, offering a bright, clean sensation that’s ideal for warm days, though a few users report a musky dry-down that fades into an almost inoffensive trail.
