Red Temptation
Red Temptation by Zara is an unisex eau de parfum from 2019 in the budget price tier. It opens with saffron and bergamot, moves into jasmine and orange blossom and dries down to ambroxan, cedarwood and white musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
Dry-down
- Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
