In a Persian market

Some fragrances are as evocative as some musics. This one, with a "Madeleine effect"reminded me of a piece I usually liked listening to when I was only a child: "In a Persian market " by Ketelbey.
If in that music you can find all the sounds of a typical souk , in this scent I find all the warm smells typically oriental. No matter if the ingredients are chocolate and flowers too, but my mind thinks of spices and tents everytime I smell this fragrance.
The bottle too is very nice and recalls the one designed for the Privé collection by Armani. The price is very affordable and now I'm addicted to this so evocative oriental unisex scent!

It's good enough for him

Zara Accord N°2 Oriental is just too good to be true. Notwithstanding it has been released for women, it's good enough for men, either. Classified as spicy and floral sweet, this scent possesses some dark edges, and the hawthorn blossom exudes that heavy musky fragrance with sexual undertones, which makes the scent manly, confident, and bold.

The opening is green and floral with purple rose, herbal geranium leaves, and a tad of the poisonous lily of the valley. There is no citrus note in this overture. hence this perfume is excellent for cold weather. This is the more feminine side of the fragrance, with the floral notes lingering in the background.

The heart starts pounding after a while, with nutty tones of walnut, obscure and androgynous whiffs of hawthorn, and gourmand crumbles of pure black Chocolate. Here the Walnut is mildly nutty, musty, phenolic and woody with grain-like nuances, and it blends gracefully together with the cocoa and the hawthorn, the resulting aroma is attractive, deep, and mysterious. This edge of the fragrance is unisex, good enough for both women and men.

And finally, here it comes the dry down... It is dry-bitter-sweet, creamy, and woody. There is a bit of amber with its dusty aspect, a bit of the tonka bean sweetness, the dark vanilla creaminess, and the woodiness of the cedar. This is the more masculine side of the fragrance.

I've fallen in love with Zara Accord n° 2 Oriental at the very first whiff but did not buy it immediately since I was looking for Accord n° 3 Woody. However, this one is now part of my wardrobe, and I am still in love with it!
Both longevity and sillage are moderate, and as I've already said the best seasons are late autumn and winter.

C'mon men, don't just dream it, dare it, and do it!
