11 by Zara
What Does 11 Smell Like
The scent of 11 by Zara opens with a noticeable sweetness, believed to be a result of the underlying hints of apple and vanilla. This is swiftly overrun by a punch of spicy accords, which we attribute to the presence of spices and pink pepper, adding an invigorating touch to the initial sweetness. Within this fragrance, you will also detect a hint of citrus zest, adding a tangy twist to the sweet and spicy concoction. As the perfume evolves, the presence of synthetic notes makes itself known, along with a subtle woody undertone, likely the result of cedarwood and patchouli. We could also identify the faint aroma of musk, adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise cool and green fragrance. Despite its predominant sweet and spicy profile, 11 by Zara maintains a degree of comforting creaminess, possibly due to the inclusion of amber and aromatic notes, which eventually rounds off the scent profile of this masculine fragrance. Overall, we find 11 by Zara to be a sweet, spicy, and green perfume with a keen edge of synthetic and citrus notes.
Review of 11
Zara's perfume, 11, launched in 2019, is predominantly formulated for men, though it has attracted a fairly diverse audience, including women and younger users. The scent leans toward the sweet side, with just enough spicy, citrus, synthetic, and fruity notes to create an interesting blend. Woody, oriental, resinous, gourmand, and creamy undertones create additional layers of complexity.
The perfume demonstrates a moderate intensity, making it suitable for an array of occasions, from casual leisure activities to formal business meetings. However, its longevity might not meet the expectations of some users looking for a long-lasting fragrance.
The most prominent seasonality of the perfume is winter, fall, and summer, likely due to its sweet, spicy, and slightly fruity aroma. Yet, it would not be out of place in the spring either.
Among its vast assortment of notes, the spices, amber, and aromatic notes stand out the most. If you're looking for a scent with a hint of apple, cedarwood, citrus zest, musk, patchouli, and pink pepper, this might be a good option. However, if you're sensitive to synthetic notes, you might want to sample it before purchasing.
In terms of value, we believe it aligns with Zara's general pricing, it provides value for money for those who appreciate its scent.
