In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Zara C0R4N0L opens with a sharp burst of green cardamom before settling into dry cedarwood and clean coranol. The middle phase reveals subtle rose and synthetic floral facets over a warm spicy foundation. It sits close to the skin after an hour, making it an easy option for crisp autumn office mornings.
