Majestic Green
by Zara
A warm, velvety vanilla with subtle spice and wood, Majestic Green defies its name by delivering a creamy, subtly spicy profile rather than green florals. It opens with a crisp blend of black pepper, cardamom, and aromatic wood that feels both refined and slightly medicinal—sharp but not aggressive. The core is a soft, supple vanilla, enfolded in sandalwood and cedar, giving it a smooth, skin-like quality. Over time, a faintly balsamic, powdery dry-down emerges, mirroring the warmth of incense or heliotrope. Though the green notes vanish quickly, the scent remains tactile and comforting, reminiscent of an autumnal library or a well-dressed candle lit in a quiet room. Despite its initial freshness, the projection is moderate and soft, fading into a quiet, intimate sillage that lingers into evening wear. It’s ideal for cooler seasons and intimate settings, and its ease of wear makes it a versatile, unisex choice for daily use. Though not bold or long-lasting, the fragrance feels polished and intentional, surpassing typical Zara offerings in balance and sophistication.
