Key Notes of A Collection

What Does A Collection Smell Like

The scent of A Collection by Zara for Men opens with a clean, refreshing aquatic sensation, vividly reminiscent of marine notes. The opening is invigorated by a bright citrusy twist from the unseen yet subtly present tones of bergamot and tangerine. As the fragrance unfolds, you'll notice a satisfyingly fresh overlay, carefully intertwined with a detectable sweetness. This sweetness unfolds into the unexpected heart of the perfume where bold, fruity notes of peach and pear come to the fore, adjoined by the light floral touch of jasmine.

This mix of citrus, fruit, and floral notes lends its own character to the fragrance, complemented by the surprising creamy undertone. As the scent develops, you'll find that it lands on a rather unanticipated base. The woody resonance of cedarwood, supplemented by the earthy scent of vetiver, provides a robustness to the perfume. These are then softened by the gentle whisper of musk and amber, their presence known but not overpowering. All these elements combined create a multi-layered fragrance that is both fresh and subtly sweet, aquatic yet woody. However, it's the near-miss capturing of the creamy, floral, and fruity that leaves us yearning for more clarity. It's an intriguing but slightly muddled blend.

Review of A Collection

Zara's A Collection released in 2017 is primarily a men's fragrance, although it does hold some appeal for women as well. We believe this is due to its balanced blend of citrus, fruity, and aquatic scents, toned down by gentle woody and floral notes. The addition of a creamy undertone gives it a soft finish that is subtly inviting.

This fragrance strikes us as a versatile offering, suitable for everyday wear. Whether you're heading to the office, enjoying a leisurely day out or even indulging in some sports, you'll find this perfume to be an agreeable companion. However, it does not quite fit into the evening wear category, as it lacks the deep, complex, and intense aroma usually associated with such occasions.

Despite its relatively pleasant scent, it may leave you wanting in terms of sillage and longevity. You might find yourself reapplying throughout the day to keep the scent alive, especially during the warmer months of spring and summer when it shines the most.

Overall, we think A Collection by Zara offers value for the price range it falls into. It is a safe choice for those not looking for an overpowering fragrance but rather a light and breezy scent that can be worn across various scenarios.
