I picked this up right at launch and keep it like gold dust because I don’t want it to run out. The incredible thing is that both the liquid and the scent remain exactly as they were on day one. It’s super unisex, perfect for day and night in autumn and winter. In autumn it smells warm and spicy, while in winter it feels fresh and spicy. It’s very aromatic, with cardamomo as the dominant note followed by green tea. It has good longevity and projection; I really hope Zara brings it back.

I’ve tried countless Zara perfumes and, for me, this is the best I’ve ever smelled from the brand. It’s a rich, green, spiced and clean scent, perfect for hot days with casual wear. It’s a pity Zara has removed it from the catalogue when there are so many worse options available. The performance is typical for Zara, nothing spectacular.

I’ve tried countless Zara perfumes, and this is, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever smelled. It’s a rich, green, spicy, and clean aroma, perfect for hot days with casual wear. It’s a shame Zara took it off the catalogue when there are so many worse options out there. The performance is normal for the brand, nothing spectacular, but it’s a total hit.

To me, it smells very much of natural cardamomo at first, not an Indian curry plate with a thousand spices, but simply cardamomo, very pleasant. Then the tea comes in, as Spartacus says, and a touch of classic shaving soap (like La Toja). Perhaps that’s why it feels a bit more masculine, although it’s perfectly unisex. I prefer more opulent perfumes, the antipodes of this one, but I think it’s a good EDT. It lasts three or four hours with a moderate trail, but what more could you ask for at 10 euros?

Cardamomo to the max. I’ve had it on my hand for three hours and it’s still the same as at the beginning. The trail is moderate to low but perceptible. It opens with almondy cardamomo, which I’d say is petit-grain. Then the cardamomo continues unabated, with that characteristic yellowish green and nuances of sweet and spicy cinnamon. Nothing to envy from Cartier’s current Declaration formula (except the cedar). For anyone who is a fan of this note, it’s truly high quality: I detect nothing synthetic. Post-scriptum: after washing my hands, the residual aroma is fresh green tea.

The top notes are exquisite; it’s a far cheaper alternative to Voyage d’Hermès yet outperforms the average in quality. I snapped it up the moment I tried it because cardamom is one of my favourite notes; I’m sure it won’t leave anyone indifferent. The longevity is excellent and the quality is truly surprising.

Excellent perfume, an economical version of Voyage d’Hermès but of above-average quality. I bought it as soon as I tried it because cardamomo is one of my favourite notes. I don’t think it will leave anyone indifferent; it has very good longevity and the quality is truly surprising.

I went to the nearest Zara store to try this fragrance that intrigued me by its name. The cardamomo is a warm scent due to its earthiness and cold due to its balsamic nature, waking you up and calming you at the same time. I thought it would be something of the crowd, but it stands out for its elegance. I feel it’s more masculine, although on a woman’s skin it might smell different. It starts with that delicious sophisticated cardamomo that gives it character. After ten minutes it mixes with the green tea, rounding it off and reminding me of fresh tobacco, a very fresh and elegant scent. An hour later, with the base notes that Fragrantica doesn’t declare but I believe are citrus, it changes to a very refined and clean scent that reminds me of Azzaro Chrome. The cardamomo is perceptible for six hours. I recommend it highly, it’s worth it, and it’s used day and night in all four seasons.
