Golden Decade

Golden Decade is an oriental fragrance for women, released by Zara in 2021, with no perfumer credited. Four ingredients carry the whole thing. Mandarin opens it briefly and brightly, then orange blossom and jasmine make a soft white floral heart with lavender running through them, which gives it a clean, faintly barbershop edge unusual in something this sweet. Vanilla is the base and the point, powdery rather than sugary. It lasts a moderate while and projects moderately, and it suits autumn and winter, day or night.
