Best Rose Gourmand For Her by Zara Alternatives & Similar Perfumes

In Arabic, Lamar means “liquid gold”, the legendary potion long sought by alchemists in search of immortality. This generous fruity-floral embraces the eternity of living in the moment. In creating Lamar, perfumer Mark Buxton said, “My inspiration was to create a rich, natural, warm, long lasting fragrance, by using high quality natural products. This gives a feeling of walking through a bed of roses or a jasmine field – very feminine and sensual.” Lamar opens with a festival of berries, apple and pineapple. The heart notes glow with jasmine sambac, Turkish rose, Bulgarian rose and magnolia. Vanilla, musk and amber supply the softest landing.

Honey, rose and boozy vanilla combine in a delectable amber that turns sticky into licky. This eau de parfum blends an abundance of golden honey and the warmth of rum with an irresistibly addictive vanilla absolute. Damask rose and pink pepper unfolds into the warmth of tonka bean absolute and benzoin resinoid, beckoning anyone who approaches with seductive allure. Patchouli and orcanox adds further depth, revealing darker tones that envelop the room with a euphoric embrace.

This fragrance summons the strength and elegance of a modern ruler.

Spicy saffron, cardamom and clove boldly herald the main event: an oud rose sexed up with musk. A hint of raspberry and caramel makes you lick your lips. Power meets seduction.

A total delight, a Shahmaran dark rose with spicy spikes. This precious rose grows on a rock of amber and this makes its aroma deep and honeyed.

That was Bloom’s fragrant fairy tale take on describing 1001’1 Nights.

It’s a very poetic perfume inspired by the Arabic saga, a maze of stories inside a story. The materials (rose, incense, sea salt) and aesthetics (it’s a rich and generous oriental blend) totally would have fitted Scheherazade’s nights.

The Orange Extraordinaire collection.

500 years is an homage to the role of rose in Western perfumery and culture. In a way this perfume is like a Rose line on the tube map starting from the rose water of Tudor times and then going through some classic rose recipes: a chypre, oriental rose, gourmand rose. 500 years is a complex story, however it is a clever progression through nuances rather than all of them exploding all at once.

Heaven on earth: Alamut.

If we were to believe Marco Polo’s story - Alamut was the fortress and headquarters of the order of assassins. In Alamut among other things, according to Marco, the new recruits could experience the demo version of heaven. An assassin to be would be inebriates by some potion (even though Marco never mention which drug it was, highly likely it was hashish). Then the recruit would be taken to a pleasure garden with drinks, food and beautiful maiden. Afterwards the head of the order would explain that absolute loyalty and fearless determination would guarantee an afterlife of this kind.

Lorenzo Villorezi’s Alamut is an intense sensual rose resting on a cloud of ambergris.

The scent fuses the intoxicating aroma of roses with a hint of spicy allure and depth from warm pepper notes. Cash Flower encapsulates the essence of success and allure embodied by this majestic flower.

As the perfume graces your skin, it becomes even more indulgent and grandiose. Luxurious tints of cashmere and amber create a velvety texture, enveloping you in a world of utmost opulence. Musk and sandalwood add a touch of sensuality, intensifying the fragrance's allure and leaving an unforgettable impression.

In fleeting top notes Myrtle, fragile as the promises of love, encounters the preciousness of saffron, merging into an indomitable desire for eros.

The luxuriant notes of honey are exalted by the jasmine night breeze that pervades the home of the chaste lovers, among the frescoes, on a thalamus of rose petals.

The mysterious notes of incense and sweet vanilla blend with the oriental contamination of amber and labdanum that fades into the ancient aroma of agar wood, sealing the essence of Castiamanti, expression of rich Pompeii.

A perfume celebrating the legendary Damask rose, and its travel across ancient empires along the Silk Route. The formula is a complex tale of the rose's journey through souks filled with fantastic fruit and precious spices, mixing with sea breezes to encompass the Mediterranean.
